CRITICAL UPDATES to AI assistant instructions:
1. MANDATORY GIT WORKFLOW (DO NOT SKIP):
- Added explicit requirement: implement → test → verify → document → commit → push
- Made git commits NON-OPTIONAL for all significant changes
- Added to both general prompt and copilot-instructions.md
- Rationale: Agent has pattern of skipping documentation/commits
2. CHALLENGE USER IDEAS:
- Added requirement to think critically about user requests
- Instruction: "Think freely and don't hold back"
- Goal: Find BEST solution, not just A solution
- Push back on ideas that don't make sense
- Ask "is there a simpler/faster/safer way?"
3. COMPREHENSIVE DOCUMENTATION SECTION:
- Replaced brief documentation note with full workflow guide
- Added 80+ lines of detailed documentation requirements
- Includes examples, red flags, mindset principles
- Emphasizes: "Git commit + Documentation = Complete work"
Files modified:
- .github/prompts/general prompt.prompt.md (added sections 5a, 6, updated 7-8)
- .github/copilot-instructions.md (comprehensive documentation workflow)
User mandate: "I am sick and tired of reminding you" - this makes it automatic.
Impact: Future implementations will ALWAYS include documentation and git commits as part of standard workflow, not as afterthoughts.
