acreadiness-generate-instructions
Generate tailored AI agent instruction files via AgentRC instructions command. Produces .github/copilot-instructions.md (default, recommended for Copilot in VS Code) plus optional per-area .instructions.md files with applyTo globs for monorepos. Use after running /acreadiness-assess to close gaps in the AI Tooling pillar.

/acreadiness-generate-instructions — write AI agent instructions Use this skill whenever the user wants to create, regenerate, or refresh their custom instructions for AI coding agents (Copilot, Claude, etc.). This is the Generate step in AgentRC's Measure → Generate → Maintain loop and the single highest-leverage action for the AI Tooling pillar. Output options VS Code recognises several instruction file types — AgentRC generates the most common ones: | File | Scope | When to use | |---|---|---| | .github/copilot-instructions.md | Always-on, whole workspace | Default — VS Code Copilot's native instruction file | | AGENTS.md | Always-on, whole workspace | Multi-agent repos (Copilot + Claude + others) | | .github/instructions/.instructions.md | Scoped by applyTo glob | Per-area / per-language rules in monorepos | | CLAUDE.md | Claude-specific | Add via --claude-md (nested only) | Strategies flat (default) — single .github/copilot-instructions.md at the chosen path.
