+# Suggest Awesome GitHub Copilot Custom Agents
+
+Analyze current repository context and suggest relevant custom agent files from the [GitHub awesome-copilot repository](https://github.com/github/awesome-copilot/tree/main/agents) that are not already available in this repository.
+
+## Process
+
+1. **Fetch Available Custom Agents**: Extract cutom agent list and descriptions from [awesome-copilot custom agents folder](https://github.com/github/awesome-copilot/tree/main/agents)
+2. **Scan Local Custom Agents**: Discover existing custom agent files in `.github/agents/` folder
+3. **Extract Descriptions**: Read front matter from local custom agent files to get descriptions
+4. **Analyze Context**: Review chat history, repository files, and current project needs
+5. **Compare Existing**: Check against custom agents already available in this repository
+6. **Match Relevance**: Compare available custom agents against identified patterns and requirements
+7. **Present Options**: Display relevant custom agents with descriptions, rationale, and availability status
+8. **Validate**: Ensure suggested custom agents would add value not already covered by existing custom agents
+9. **Output**: Provide structured table with suggestions, descriptions, and links to both awesome-copilot custom agents and similar local custom agents
+10. **Next Steps**: If any suggestions are made, provide instructions that GitHub Copilot will be able to follow to add the suggested custom agents to the repository by downloading the file into the custom agents directory. Offer to do this automatically if the user confirms.
+
+## Context Analysis Criteria
+
+🔍 **Repository Patterns**:
+- Programming languages used (.cs, .js, .py, etc.)
+- Framework indicators (ASP.NET, React, Azure, etc.)
+- Project types (web apps, APIs, libraries, tools)
+- Documentation needs (README, specs, ADRs)
+
+🗨️ **Chat History Context**:
+- Recent discussions and pain points
+- Feature requests or implementation needs
+- Code review patterns
+- Development workflow requirements
+
+## Output Format
+
+Display analysis results in structured table comparing awesome-copilot custom agents with existing repository custom agents:
+
+| Awesome-Copilot Custom Agent | Description | Already Installed | Similar Local Custom Agent | Suggestion Rationale |
+|---------------------------|-------------|-------------------|-------------------------|---------------------|
+| [code-reviewer.agent.md](https://github.com/github/awesome-copilot/blob/main/agents/code-reviewer.agent.md) | Specialized code review agent | ❌ No | None | Would enhance development workflow with dedicated code review assistance |
+| [architect.agent.md](https://github.com/github/awesome-copilot/blob/main/agents/architect.agent.md) | Software architecture guidance | ✅ Yes | azure_principal_architect.agent.md | Already covered by existing architecture agents |
+| [debugging-expert.agent.md](https://github.com/github/awesome-copilot/blob/main/agents/debugging-expert.agent.md) | Debug assistance agent | ❌ No | None | Could improve troubleshooting efficiency for development team |
+
+## Local Custom Agents Discovery Process
+
+1. List all `*.agent.md` files in `.github/agents/` directory
+2. For each discovered file, read front matter to extract `description`
+3. Build comprehensive inventory of existing custom agents
+4. Use this inventory to avoid suggesting duplicates
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Use `githubRepo` tool to get content from awesome-copilot repository agents folder
+- Scan local file system for existing custom agents in `.github/agents/` directory
+- Read YAML front matter from local custom agent files to extract descriptions
+- Compare against existing custom agents in this repository to avoid duplicates
+- Focus on gaps in current custom agent library coverage
+- Validate that suggested custom agents align with repository's purpose and standards
+- Provide clear rationale for each suggestion
+- Include links to both awesome-copilot custom agents and similar local custom agents
+- Don't provide any additional information or context beyond the table and the analysis
