What this skill does
# GitHub Copilot Custom Instructions
Configure repository-specific instructions for GitHub Copilot.
## Quick Start
Create `.github/copilot-instructions.md` in your repository:
```markdown
# Copilot Instructions
## Code Style
- Use TypeScript with strict mode
- Prefer functional components with hooks
- Use Tailwind CSS for styling
## Project Context
This is a Next.js 14 app using the App Router.
API routes are in `app/api/`.
```
## Effective Patterns
### Project Context
```markdown
# Project Context
## Tech Stack
- Next.js 14 with App Router
- TypeScript 5.3+
- Tailwind CSS 3.4
- Prisma ORM with PostgreSQL
## Architecture
- `app/` - Next.js App Router pages and API routes
- `components/` - React components
- `lib/` - Utility functions and shared code
- `prisma/` - Database schema and migrations
```
### Code Standards
```markdown
# Code Standards
## TypeScript
- Enable strict mode
- Prefer `interface` over `type` for object shapes
- Use explicit return types on functions
## React
- Use functional components exclusively
- Prefer named exports
- Extract hooks to `hooks/` directory
## Error Handling
- Use Result pattern for fallible operations
- Always handle async errors with try/catch
- Log errors with structured format
```
### Naming Conventions
```markdown
# Naming Conventions
## Files
- Components: PascalCase (Button.tsx)
- Utilities: camelCase (formatDate.ts)
- Constants: SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE
## Code
- Boolean variables: is*, has*, should* prefix
- Event handlers: handle* prefix (handleClick)
- Async functions: *Async suffix
```
### Testing
```markdown
# Testing Guidelines
## Unit Tests
- Use Vitest for unit testing
- Place tests next to source files (*.test.ts)
- Mock external dependencies
## Test Patterns
```typescript
describe('Component', () => {
it('should render correctly', () => {
// Arrange, Act, Assert pattern
});
});
```
```
### API Patterns
```markdown
# API Patterns
## Route Handlers
```typescript
// Standard response format
return NextResponse.json({
data: result,
error: null,
meta: { timestamp: Date.now() }
});
// Error response
return NextResponse.json(
{ data: null, error: { code: 'NOT_FOUND', message: '...' } },
{ status: 404 }
);
```
## Validation
- Use Zod for request validation
- Validate early, fail fast
```
### Do's and Don'ts
```markdown
# Guidelines
## Do
- Write self-documenting code
- Add JSDoc comments for public APIs
- Use meaningful variable names
## Don't
- Use `any` type
- Leave console.log in production code
- Commit sensitive data
```
## File Location
The file must be at `.github/copilot-instructions.md` (not in root).

venue-templates
IncludedAccess comprehensive LaTeX templates, formatting requirements, and submission guidelines for major scientific publication venues (Nature, Science, PLOS, IEEE, ACM), academic conferences (NeurIPS, ICML, CVPR, CHI), research posters, and grant proposals (NSF, NIH, DOE, DARPA). This skill should be used when preparing manuscripts for journal submission, conference papers, research posters, or grant proposals and need venue-specific formatting requirements and templates.
let-fate-decide
IncludedDraws the 12 Houses of the Zodiac Tarot spread to inject entropy into planning when prompts are vague, ambiguous, or casually delegated. Interprets the spread to guide next steps. Use when the user says 'let fate decide', 'YOLO', 'whatever', 'idk', or other nonchalant phrases, makes Yu-Gi-Oh references, or when you are about to arbitrarily pick between multiple reasonable approaches. Prefer over ask-questions-if-underspecified when the user's tone is casual or playful rather than precision-seeking.
