説明
Describe the feature or problem you'd like to solve
Copilot CLI already uses .agents/skills; please extend the same .agents convention to instructions, agents, and hooks in any opened folder, not just Git repos.
Proposed solution
This would let users standardize Copilot customizations under one root, .agents/, for any opened workspace/folder, whether or not it is a Git repository, instead of splitting them across .github/, .claude/, and ~/.copilot/.
This request is specifically about the .agents/ directory tree, not the root AGENTS.md file.
Requested default discovery additions:
<workspace>/.agents/instructions/**/*.instructions.md<workspace>/.agents/agents/*.agent.mdor the equivalent agent-file convention already used by the product<workspace>/.agents/hooks/**/*.json(or the equivalent hook-file convention already used by the product)~/.agents/instructions/**/*.instructions.md~/.agents/agents/*.agent.mdor the equivalent agent-file convention already used by the product~/.agents/hooks/**/*.json(or the equivalent hook-file convention already used by the product)
Note: COPILOT_CUSTOM_INSTRUCTIONS_DIRS already allows additional instruction directories today; this request is to make .agents/instructions a zero-config default. If user-level custom agents or hooks are not already supported, those would be new capability, but the request is still to make .agents the canonical root.
Behavioral expectations:
- Works for any opened folder/workspace, including folders that are not Git repositories
- Works consistently with
COPILOT_HOME - Discovery is documented and deterministic
- No silent partial loading for a path family
/helpand docs reflect the exact supported.agentslocations
Example prompts or workflows
- "Load the repo's coding rules from
.agents/instructionsautomatically." - "Use the release-notes agent from
.agents/agents." - "Run the startup hook from
.agents/hookswhen I open a plain folder like D:\work\MyProjectOutsideGit." - "Keep my user-level instruction files under
~/.agents/instead of splitting them across.copilot/and.github/."
Additional context
Related but distinct: github/copilot-cli#2504 (cwd vs. git-root discovery within Git repos) and github/copilot-cli#1506 (configurable agents folder support). This request is about zero-config .agents defaults for any opened folder, Git or not.
This is additive parity, not a migration away from .copilot or .github.
If it is easier to triage, this could be split into separate issues for instructions / agents / hooks.

調査の方向性
まず、既存の .agents/skills の検出と、COPILOT_HOME の処理および /help の出力を含む、現在の instruction、agent、hook loader を追跡します。次に、通常のフォルダーとユーザーレベルのパスについて検出を確認し、サポートされる正確な場所と、パスファミリー内で部分的な読み込みを行わない決定論的な動作を文書化します。
