description: "Use when authoring or editing shared Copilot resources that should stay lightweight and inexpensive to run."

|
|
- Reuse an existing shared resource before creating a new one.
|
|
- Prefer the cheapest sufficient primitive: instruction for durable rules, skill
|
|
for portable workflows, prompt for thin VS Code entrypoints, hook only for
|
|
deterministic enforced behavior.
|
|
- Keep frontmatter, examples, and repeated policy text short.
|
|
- Ask for narrow inputs such as a file, symbol, or command instead of broad
|
|
workspace scans when possible.
|
|
- Bias the resource toward concise outputs unless the task clearly needs depth.
|
|
- Say when the resource should not be used if that prevents broad, expensive
|
|
misuse. |
