This should be resolved in current releases (v1.0.x). The CLI now reads custom instructions from $HOME/.copilot/copilot-instructions.md and displays them under the User group when running /instructions. Your version (v0.0.412-0) used a different path resolution that could miss this file. Updating to the latest version should fix this. If you're still experiencing this after updating, feel free to reopen.
