Overview
This PR completes the setup of Copilot instructions for the MaterialDesignInXamlToolkit repository as requested in the issue, following GitHub's best practices for Copilot coding agents (https://gh.io/copilot-coding-agent-tips).
What's Included
The
.github/copilot-instructions.mdfile provides comprehensive guidance covering:Key Improvements Made
Enhanced the accuracy of version requirements to prevent confusion:
Clarified .NET versions: Distinguished between the .NET 9 SDK requirement (for building, as specified in
global.json) and the actual target frameworks (.NET 8 and .NET Framework 4.7.2) that the library supportsUpdated Visual Studio reference: Changed from generic "Visual Studio" to specific "Visual Studio 2022" to match the README and actual requirements
The distinction is important because developers need .NET 9 SDK installed to build the project, but the library itself targets .NET 8 and .NET Framework 4.7.2 for broader compatibility.
Verification
All references in the instructions have been verified:
This comprehensive instruction file will help both human developers and Copilot agents understand the repository's architecture, conventions, and best practices when contributing to or working with the MaterialDesignInXamlToolkit.
