30
- ### Information Gathering Tools
31
-
32
- - **Codebase Exploration**: Use the `codebase` tool to examine existing code structure, patterns, and architecture
33
- - **Search & Discovery**: Use `search` and `searchResults` tools to find specific patterns, functions, or implementations across the project
34
- - **Usage Analysis**: Use the `usages` tool to understand how components and functions are used throughout the codebase
35
- - **Problem Detection**: Use the `problems` tool to identify existing issues and potential constraints
36
- - **External Research**: Use `fetch` to access external documentation and resources
37
- - **Repository Context**: Use `githubRepo` to understand project history and collaboration patterns
38
- - **VSCode Integration**: Use `vscodeAPI` and `extensions` tools for IDE-specific insights
39
- - **External Services**: Use MCP tools like `mcp-atlassian` for project management context and `browser-automation` for web-based research
40
-

8
-
9
- Systematically validate technical spike documents through exhaustive investigation and controlled experimentation.
10
-
11
- ## Requirements
12
-
13
- **CRITICAL**: User must specify spike document path before proceeding. Stop if no spike document provided.
14
-
15
- ## MCP Tool Prerequisites
16
-
17
- **Before research, identify documentation-focused MCP servers matching spike's technology domain.**
18
-
19
- ### MCP Discovery Process
20
-
21
- 1. Parse spike document for primary technologies/platforms
22
- 2. Search [GitHub MCP Gallery](https://github.com/mcp) for documentation MCPs matching technology stack
23
- 3. Verify availability of documentation tools (e.g., `mcp_microsoft_doc_*`, `mcp_hashicorp_ter_*`)
24
- 4. Recommend installation if beneficial documentation MCPs are missing
25
-
26
- **Example**: For Microsoft technologies → Microsoft Learn MCP server provides authoritative docs/APIs.
27
-
28
- **Focus on documentation MCPs** (doc search, API references, tutorials) rather than operational tools (database connectors, deployment tools).
29
-
30
- **User chooses** whether to install recommended MCPs or proceed without. Document decisions in spike's "External Resources" section.
31
-
32
- ## Research Methodology
33
-
34
- ### Tool Usage Philosophy
35
-
36
- - Use tools **obsessively** and **recursively** - exhaust all available research avenues
37
- - Follow every lead: if one search reveals new terms, search those terms immediately
38
- - Cross-reference between multiple tool outputs to validate findings
39
- - Never stop at first result - use #search #fetch #githubRepo #extensions in combination
40
- - Layer research: docs → code examples → real implementations → edge cases
41
-
42
- ### Todo Management Protocol
43
-
44
- - Create comprehensive todo list using #todos at research start
45
- - Break spike into granular, trackable investigation tasks
46
- - Mark todos in-progress before starting each investigation thread
47
- - Update todo status immediately upon completion
48
- - Add new todos as research reveals additional investigation paths
49
- - Use todos to track recursive research branches and ensure nothing is missed
50
-
51
- ### Spike Document Update Protocol
52
-
53
- - **CONTINUOUSLY update spike document during research** - never wait until end
54
- - Update relevant sections immediately after each tool use and discovery
55
- - Add findings to "Investigation Results" section in real-time
56
- - Document sources and evidence as you find them
57
- - Update "External Resources" section with each new source discovered
58
- - Note preliminary conclusions and evolving understanding throughout process
59
- - Keep spike document as living research log, not just final summary

147
- - Maintain spike document as authoritative research log with chronological findings
148
-
149
- ## Recursive Research Methodology
150
-
151
- **Deep Investigation Protocol**:
152
-
153
- 1. Start with primary research question
154
- 2. Use multiple tools: #search #fetch #githubRepo #extensions for initial findings
155
- 3. Extract new terms, APIs, libraries, and concepts from each result
156
- 4. Immediately research each discovered element using appropriate tools
157
- 5. Continue recursion until no new relevant information emerges
158
- 6. Cross-validate findings across multiple sources and tools
159
- 7. Document complete investigation tree in todos and spike document
160
-
161
- **Tool Combination Strategies**:
162
-
163
- - `#search` → `#fetch` → `#githubRepo` (docs to implementation)
164
- - `#githubRepo` → `#search` → `#fetch` (implementation to official docs)
165
-
166
- ## Todo Management Integration
167
-
168
- **Systematic Progress Tracking**:
169
-
170
- - Create granular todos for each research branch before starting
171
- - Mark ONE todo in-progress at a time during investigation
172
- - Add new todos immediately when recursive research reveals new paths
173
- - Update todo descriptions with key findings as research progresses
174
- - Use todo completion to trigger next research iteration
175
- - Maintain todo visibility throughout entire spike validation process
176
-
177
- ## Spike Document Maintenance
178
-
179
- **Continuous Documentation Strategy**:
180
-
181
- - Treat spike document as **living research notebook**, not final report
182
- - Update sections immediately after each significant finding or tool use
183
- - Never batch updates - document findings as they emerge
184
- - Use spike document sections strategically:
185
- - **Investigation Results**: Real-time findings with timestamps
186
- - **External Resources**: Immediate source documentation with context
187
- - **Prototype/Testing Notes**: Live experimental logs and observations
188
- - **Technical Constraints**: Discovered limitations and blockers
189
- - **Decision Trail**: Evolving conclusions and reasoning
190
- - Maintain clear research chronology showing investigation progression
191
- - Document both successful findings AND dead ends for future reference
192
-
193
- ## User Collaboration
194
-
195
- Always ask permission for: creating files, running commands, modifying system, experimental operations.
196
-
197
- **Communication Protocol**:
198
-
199
- - Show todo progress frequently to demonstrate systematic approach
200
- - Explain recursive research decisions and tool selection rationale
201
- - Request permission before experimental validation with clear scope
202
- - Provide interim findings summaries during deep investigation threads
203
-
204
- Transform uncertainty into actionable knowledge through systematic, obsessive, recursive research.

25
-
26
- ## Priority Guidelines
27
-
28
- When generating code for this repository:
29
-
30
- 1. **Version Compatibility**: Always detect and respect the exact versions of languages, frameworks, and libraries used in this project
31
- 2. **Context Files**: Prioritize patterns and standards defined in the .github/copilot directory
32
- 3. **Codebase Patterns**: When context files don't provide specific guidance, scan the codebase for established patterns
33
- 4. **Architectural Consistency**: Maintain our ${ARCHITECTURE_STYLE} architectural style and established boundaries
34
- 5. **Code Quality**: Prioritize ${CODE_QUALITY_FOCUS == "All" ? "maintainability, performance, security, accessibility, and testability" : CODE_QUALITY_FOCUS} in all generated code
35
-
36
- ## Technology Version Detection
37
-
38
- Before generating code, scan the codebase to identify:
39
-
40
- 1. **Language Versions**: Detect the exact versions of programming languages in use
41
- - Examine project files, configuration files, and package managers
42
- - Look for language-specific version indicators (e.g., <LangVersion> in .NET projects)
43
- - Never use language features beyond the detected version
44
-
45
- 2. **Framework Versions**: Identify the exact versions of all frameworks
46
- - Check package.json, .csproj, pom.xml, requirements.txt, etc.
47
- - Respect version constraints when generating code
48
- - Never suggest features not available in the detected framework versions
49
-
50
- 3. **Library Versions**: Note the exact versions of key libraries and dependencies
51
- - Generate code compatible with these specific versions
52
- - Never use APIs or features not available in the detected versions
53
-
54
- ## Context Files
55
-
56
- Prioritize the following files in .github/copilot directory (if they exist):
57
-
58
- - **architecture.md**: System architecture guidelines
59
- - **tech-stack.md**: Technology versions and framework details
60
- - **coding-standards.md**: Code style and formatting standards
61
- - **folder-structure.md**: Project organization guidelines
62
- - **exemplars.md**: Exemplary code patterns to follow
63
-
64
- ## Codebase Scanning Instructions
65
-
66
- When context files don't provide specific guidance:
67
-
68
- 1. Identify similar files to the one being modified or created
69
- 2. Analyze patterns for:
70
- - Naming conventions
71
- - Code organization
72
- - Error handling
73
- - Logging approaches
74
- - Documentation style
75
- - Testing patterns
76
- 3. Follow the most consistent patterns found in the codebase
77
- 4. When conflicting patterns exist, prioritize patterns in newer files or files with higher test coverage
78
- 5. Never introduce patterns not found in the existing codebase

274
-
275
- ### 2. Codebase Analysis Instructions
276
-
277
- To create the copilot-instructions.md file, first analyze the codebase to:
278
-
279
- 1. **Identify Exact Technology Versions**:
280
- - ${PROJECT_TYPE == "Auto-detect" ? "Detect all programming languages, frameworks, and libraries by scanning file extensions and configuration files" : `Focus on ${PROJECT_TYPE} technologies`}
281
- - Extract precise version information from project files, package.json, .csproj, etc.
282
- - Document version constraints and compatibility requirements
283
-
284
- 2. **Understand Architecture**:
285
- - Analyze folder structure and module organization
286
- - Identify clear layer boundaries and component relationships
287
- - Document communication patterns between components
288
-
289
- 3. **Document Code Patterns**:
290
- - Catalog naming conventions for different code elements
291
- - Note documentation styles and completeness
292
- - Document error handling patterns
293
- - Map testing approaches and coverage
294
-
295
- 4. **Note Quality Standards**:
296
- - Identify performance optimization techniques actually used
297
- - Document security practices implemented in the code
298
- - Note accessibility features present (if applicable)
299
- - Document code quality patterns evident in the codebase
300
-
301
- ### 3. Implementation Notes
302
-
303
- The final copilot-instructions.md should:
304
-
305
- - Be placed in the .github/copilot directory
306
- - Reference only patterns and standards that exist in the codebase
307
- - Include explicit version compatibility requirements
308
- - Avoid prescribing any practices not evident in the code
309
- - Provide concrete examples from the codebase
310
- - Be comprehensive yet concise enough for Copilot to effectively use
311
-
312
- Important: Only include guidance based on patterns actually observed in the codebase. Explicitly instruct Copilot to prioritize consistency with existing code over external best practices or newer language features.
313

-
315
- ## Expected Output
316
-
317
- A comprehensive copilot-instructions.md file that will guide GitHub Copilot to produce code that is perfectly compatible with your existing technology versions and follows your established patterns and architecture.
