This PR adds comprehensive GitHub Copilot instructions to guide coding agents working in the lowell repository. The instructions provide detailed guidance on building, testing, running, and navigating the codebase effectively.
Key Features
Exhaustively Validated Commands: Every single command and instruction has been tested from a clean repository state to ensure they work correctly every time.
Critical Timing Information: Includes accurate build times and NEVER CANCEL warnings with appropriate timeout values:
Complete Development Workflow: Covers the full development cycle including:
Manual Validation Scenarios: Specifies exact testing scenarios agents should run after making changes:
--help,--version, error handling)human,json,json-pretty)Repository Navigation: Documents key directories, important files, and common modification patterns to help agents work efficiently in the codebase.
The instructions follow an imperative tone as requested and prioritize providing agents with known working commands and validation steps to minimize trial-and-error development cycles.
Fixes #6.
