Agent instruction configuration

Agent instruction configuration. Configure GitHub Copilot with custom instructions. Use when setting up .github/copilot-instructions.md, customizing Copilot behavior, or creating repository-specific AI guidance. Triggers on Copilot instructions, copilot-instructions.md, GitHub Copilot config. Detect installed AI coding agents and append honest-feedback rules to their instruction files. Scans for config files (CLAUDE.md, copilot-instructions.md, .cursorrules, etc.), adapts output format per agent, and appends directives that disable sycophancy and enable constructive pushback. Use when setting up honest feedback, disabling people-pleasing, or enabling objective criticism. Triggers on honest agent, objective feedback, no sycophancy, honest criticism, contradict me, challenge assumptions, honest mode, brutal.

Agent instruction configuration

Use this skill for the outcome in its description. Start with the supplied request and evidence, identify the specific task, and distinguish planning from execution. Do not trigger solely because the subject happens to be fashion, retail, or a technology named in an example. Read `references/execution-contract.md` before applying a retained source method.

Select the narrowest matching method below, then read its full entrypoint and the resources it requires. If multiple methods cover the same outcome, choose the one matching the user's environment and inputs; do not run them all. Retain each method's input requirements, decision steps, validation, output structure, and failure handling. If prerequisites are absent, use its honest proposal-only fallback or state that its documented path is blocked.

  • **hoodini/copilot-docs**: Configure GitHub Copilot with custom instructions. Use when setting up .github/copilot-instructions.md, customizing Copilot behavior, or creating repository-specific AI guidance. Triggers on Copilot instructions, copilot-instructions.md, GitHub Copilot config. Read `references/hoodini/skills/copilot-docs/SKILL.md`.
  • **hoodini/honest-agent**: Detect installed AI coding agents and append honest-feedback rules to their instruction files. Scans for config files (CLAUDE.md, copilot-instructions.md, .cursorrules, etc.), adapts output format per agent, and appends directives that disable sycophancy and enable constructive pushback. Use when setting up honest feedback, disabling people-pleasing, or enabling objective criticism. Triggers on honest agent, objective feedback, no sycophancy, honest criticism, contradict me, challenge assumptions, honest mode, brutal honesty. Read `references/hoodini/skills/honest-agent/SKILL.md`.

Return the requested deliverable with evidence, assumptions, validation performed, unresolved dependencies, and actual execution status. Source-specific results must be verified independently; importing these methods does not establish a working service connection.
