This should really be defined as an agent skill rather than an instruction, since it's a task that you are going to want to perform, rather than something that exists on every interaction with copilot.

Added agent-sync.instructions.md , this is a custom instructions for GitHub Copilot that scans your repo for other agent files/directories (such as Claude.MD/.claude, Gemini.MD/.Gemini, etc), and then replicates the GitHub Copilot files contents to in the respective agents formatting. This allows you to use GitHub Copilot as a source of truth for agentic configurations, and still be able to use them across other agents.
