This PR adds a comprehensive
.github/copilot-instructions.mdfile that provides GitHub Copilot coding agents with detailed instructions on how to work effectively in the vscode-live-sass-compiler codebase.What's Included
The instructions provide exhaustive guidance covering:
Key Features
Imperative Tone: All instructions use clear commands like "Run X", "Do not do Y" for immediate action.
Timeout Safety: Explicit warnings about build timing with "NEVER CANCEL" directives and 60+ second timeout recommendations for long-running operations.
Comprehensive Validation: Every command and workflow has been tested and validated to ensure accuracy.
Practical Examples: Real SASS compilation scenarios demonstrating variables, nesting, conditionals, and media queries.
Validated Commands
All build commands have been thoroughly tested:
npm ci(~14 seconds) - Dependency installationnpm run lint(~1.5 seconds) - ESLint validationnpm run rollup(~15 seconds) - Production buildnpm run vscode:prepublish(~16 seconds) - Full build pipelinenpm run pretest(~21 seconds) - Test environment preparationThe instructions also include direct SASS compilation testing using
npx sass-embeddedto validate extension functionality without requiring a full VS Code environment.These instructions will help GitHub Copilot agents navigate the codebase efficiently, understand the build process, and make changes with confidence while avoiding common pitfalls.
Fixes #419.
