Description
Compliance Finding
Category: standards
Severity: error
Check: missing-copilot-instructions
Detail
Missing .github/copilot-instructions.md. Every repo must have its own Copilot instructions file — Copilot instruction files are repository-scoped and do not propagate from the combsmith/.github repo. Copy the canonical template from standards/copilot-instructions-standard.md in combsmith/.github, then tailor it with this repo's specific tech stack, project structure, local dev commands, required environment variables, and testing configuration.
Standard Reference
standards/copilot-instructions-standard.md

Closed on the Maintainer's decision of 2026-10-19 (plan review, decision 4). This repo departs from the org's workflow and ruleset standards where
docs/decisions/0014-where-this-repo-departs-from-the-orgs-standards.mdsays why: one required check, no proof-of-concept workflows, no bypass actor onmain, and rulesets the design (§4.9, #62) sets itself. This report asks for something that decision declines or that the design forbids, so it serves no requirement here. The standards repo is asked to exclude combsmith/software-factory from the audit; if it cannot, the next report is labelled hands-off and left.
