Individual skill
acreadiness-generate-instructions
Generate tailored AI agent instruction files via AgentRC instructions command. Produces .github/copilot-instructions.md (default, recommended for Copilot in VS Code) plus optional per-area .instructions.md files with applyTo globs for monorepos. Use after running /acreadiness-assess to close gaps in the AI Tooling pillar.

# /acreadiness-generate-instructions — write AI agent instructions
Use this skill whenever the user wants to **create**, **regenerate**, or **refresh** their custom instructions for AI coding agents (Copilot, Claude, etc.). This is the *Generate* step in AgentRC's **Measure → Generate → Maintain** loop and the single highest-leverage action for the **AI Tooling** pillar.
## Output options
VS Code recognises several instruction file types — AgentRC generates the most common ones:
| File | Scope | When to use |
|---|---|---|
| `.github/copilot-instructions.md` | Always-on, whole workspace | **Default** — VS Code Copilot's native instruction file |
| `AGENTS.md` | Always-on, whole workspace | Multi-agent repos (Copilot + Claude + others) |
| `.github/instructions/*.instructions.md` | Scoped by `applyTo` glob | Per-area / per-language rules in monorepos |
| `CLAUDE.md` | Claude-specific | Add via `--claude-md` (nested only) |
