Sync Process

Step 1: Understand Current Setup

Read these files to understand current configuration:

.claude/workflows/orchestration-protocol.md
.claude/workflows/primary-workflow.md
.github/copilot-instructions.md
.github/AGENTS.md
CLAUDE.md

Step 2: Research Latest Features

Search web for:

  • "GitHub Copilot features setup 2026"
  • "GitHub Copilot custom instructions agents skills prompts"
  • "GitHub Copilot agent mode workspace context"

See references/copilot-features.md for feature catalog.

Step 3: Identify Sync Opportunities

Compare capabilities and identify gaps:

  • Skills missing in one platform
  • Inconsistent prompt/instruction behavior
  • Agent definitions that differ

Step 4: Implement Changes

For each change:

  1. Skills: Create in both
    .claude/skills/
    and
    .github/skills/
  2. Prompts: Create in both
    .claude/commands/
    and
    .github/prompts/
  3. Instructions: Update both
    CLAUDE.md
    and
    .github/copilot-instructions.md
  4. Agents: Update
    .github/agents/
    (shared by both)

Compatibility Notes

  • Copilot reads
    .claude/skills/
    automatically (backward compatibility)
  • Both read
    .github/prompts/*.prompt.md
  • Both read
    .github/agents/*.md
  • Both read
    AGENTS.md
    in root or
    .github/
  • Both support path-based instruction files via
    applyTo
    in frontmatter
