This repository contains a lightweight template for assigning, tracking, and iterating work intended for AI assistants (e.g., Copilot coding agents).
Contents:
.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/agent-task.md— primary issue template for agent tasks.github/copilot-instructions.md— repository-level guidance for AI assistants.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/plan-issue.md— a plan-style issue template for complex work.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE/agent-pr.md— PR checklist for agent-generated PRs
How to use:
- Create small, testable issues using the
agent-tasktemplate. - Attach acceptance criteria and allowed file paths to limit scope.
- Require tests and CI checks to validate agent output.
Iterating the templates:
- After each agent-driven PR, update the templates with examples and clarifications that improved results.
- Add project-specific rules to
.github/copilot-instructions.mdso AI follows team conventions.
This template is minimal — adapt and expand it to match your stack and workflows.
