Created a comprehensive .github/copilot-instructions.md file that provides detailed guidance for GitHub Copilot coding agents working with this GitHub Pages repository. The instructions cover the complete development workflow for static websites with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

Key Features

Validated Workflows: All commands and procedures have been thoroughly tested and validated to ensure they work correctly every time, including:

  • Local development server setup using Python's built-in HTTP server
  • HTML validation using the html-validate npm package
  • JavaScript linting with modern ESLint v9 configuration
  • End-to-end browser testing with Playwright automation
  • Manual validation scenarios for complete user workflows

Comprehensive Coverage: The instructions address critical questions that save development time:

  • Exact commands for building and testing (no build system required for static sites)
  • Timeout recommendations with explicit "NEVER CANCEL" warnings for long-running operations
  • Manual testing scenarios to validate functionality after changes
  • Directory structure recommendations for organized development
  • GitHub Pages deployment process and timing expectations
  • Common troubleshooting scenarios and solutions

Practical Examples: Includes working code templates and file structure examples that demonstrate best practices for HTML, CSS, and JavaScript development.

Browser Automation: Instructions include comprehensive browser testing workflows using Playwright to ensure changes work correctly in real browsers, with screenshot validation capabilities.

The instructions follow an imperative tone ("Run this command", "Do not do this") and start with a firm directive to always reference the instructions first before falling back to additional search or context gathering.

Also included an example index.html file demonstrating proper structure and functionality that serves as both documentation and a starting point for development.
