Copilot Instructions for Package Documentation

Package Documentation Policy

• Before using any package, module, or library, ALWAYS consult its documentation — your internal knowledge may be outdated and could cause errors or failures.
• Don't assume anything about the package's functionality, usage, or configuration without verifying it against the official documentation.
• If you are unsure about a user's request that may involve a package, module, or library, ALWAYS refer to the documentation first or ask the user to provide the package name and version.

Workflow

1. Don't immediately lookup the user's original codebase.
2. First, Identify the package name and the EXACT pinned version (eg. "==1.0.5") from the project’s lock file (eg. uv.lock, bun.lock).
3. Using this information fetch documentation by executing one of the provided tools:
   • get_readme
   • get_documentation_tree
   • read_files
   • search_github_repositories - Search for Github packages and repositories by topic, language, or keywords. Note, sometimes the documentation is located in a separate repository (like tailwindlabs/tailwindcss.com). Use the repo owner to search for the repo containing the documentation.
4. Review the documentation carefully to understand:
   • Core functionality
   • Usage patterns
   • Any caveats or special instructions
5. Reference examples from the documentation to guide your implementation.

Ecosystem Selection:

• Use pypi for Python packages
• Use npm for Node.js packages
• Use spm for Swift packages
• Use gh only as a fallback for languages not supported by the above registries (package name must be in 'owner/repo' format) or if you're unsure about the package's ecosystem. Also use gh when you don't find the package in the lock file.
