Summary

Migrates Copilot instructions from .github/instructions/*.instructions.md to standard AGENTS.md convention. Adds specialized agents for documentation and linting tasks.

Changes

Migration

  • .github/instructions/source.instructions.md/AGENTS.md (root-level, source code focus)
  • .github/instructions/models.instructions.md/examples/AGENTS.md (examples focus)
  • Created .vscode/settings.json to enable nested AGENTS.md discovery

Content Enhancements

  • Restructured for information density and scannability
  • Added async patterns, dependency injection details, type annotation standards
  • Included component lifecycle examples, event-driven patterns, and common workflows
  • Expanded from ~180 lines to ~512 lines across core agents

New Specialized Agents

  • .github/agents/docs/AGENTS.md (256 lines): MkDocs configuration, docstring format (Google style), markdown standards, API reference workflow
  • .github/agents/linting/AGENTS.md (318 lines): Ruff/Mypy workflows, auto-fix patterns, type checking edge cases

Documentation

  • Updated CONTRIBUTING.md to reference new structure and explain AGENTS.md convention

Benefits

  • Standards-compliant (AGENTS.md works with multiple AI tools, not just Copilot)
  • Domain-specific agents reduce cognitive load
  • Nested discovery via VSCode settings

✨ Let Copilot coding agent set things up for you — coding agent works faster and does higher quality work when set up for your repo.
