create-instruction-file

Prompt file imported from Tcrow06/challenge-hub (.github/prompts/create-instruction-file.prompt.md). Fill in {{topic}}, {{folder}}, {{file}}, {{applyTo}} before use. Copyright stays with the author.

Create one new instruction file for this workspace.

Inputs:

• topic: {{topic}}
• folder: {{folder}}
• file: {{file}}
• applyTo: {{applyTo}}

Required actions:

1. Create .github/instructions/<folder>/<file>.instructions.md.
2. Use YAML frontmatter with name, description, and applyTo.
3. Write concise, actionable rules in markdown body.
4. Keep rules scoped to the target files only.
5. If the new file introduces a new scope or file not listed, update .github/instructions/README.md.
6. Update .github/agentic-development.md only if directory layout examples become outdated.

Content quality requirements:

• Avoid duplicating global instructions from .github/copilot-instructions.md unless scope-specific.
• Prefer clear do/don't bullets and required references.
• Keep naming stable and consistent with existing repository conventions.

Final output:

• List changed files.
• Show the chosen applyTo pattern.
• Mention any assumptions.
