If {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} is able to build, test and validate its changes in its own development environment, it is more likely to produce good pull requests which can be merged quickly.

{% data variables.copilot.copilot_coding_agent %} supports a number of different types of custom instructions files:
* `/.github/copilot-instructions.md`
* `/.github/instructions/**/*.instructions.md`
* `**/AGENTS.md`
* `/CLAUDE.md`
* `/GEMINI.md`
