# Suggest Awesome GitHub Copilot Instructions

Analyze current repository context and suggest relevant copilot-instruction files from the [GitHub awesome-copilot repository](https://github.com/github/awesome-copilot/blob/main/docs/README.instructions.md) that are not already available in this repository.

## Process

1. **Fetch Available Instructions**: Extract instruction list and descriptions from [awesome-copilot README.instructions.md](https://github.com/github/awesome-copilot/blob/main/docs/README.instructions.md). Must use `#fetch` tool.
2. **Scan Local Instructions**: Discover existing instruction files in `.github/instructions/` folder
3. **Extract Descriptions**: Read front matter from local instruction files to get descriptions and `applyTo` patterns
4. **Fetch Remote Versions**: For each local instruction, fetch the corresponding version from awesome-copilot repository using raw GitHub URLs (e.g., `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/github/awesome-copilot/main/instructions/<filename>`)
5. **Compare Versions**: Compare local instruction content with remote versions to identify:
   - Instructions that are up-to-date (exact match)
   - Instructions that are outdated (content differs)
   - Key differences in outdated instructions (description, applyTo patterns, content)
