Description
Describe the feature or problem you'd like to solve
We use both Claude and CoPilot and we currently need to duplicate instructions between .github/instructions/**/*.instructions.md and .claude/rules
Proposed solution
Support reading .claude/rules. Perhaps also .agents/rules - hopefully we can move to a vendor agnostic location for these files at some point.
If you already read them, then update the documentation here where it is not mentioned that these locations are read: https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/how-tos/copilot-cli/customize-copilot/add-custom-instructions

Research direction
Start by tracing how custom instruction locations are discovered, then check whether .claude/rules is already read and where .agents/rules could fit. Compare the behavior with .github/instructions/**/*.instructions.md and review the linked Copilot documentation; done means supported locations are handled or the documentation accurately lists those already supported.
