acreadiness-generate-instructions from github/awesome-copilot is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add github/awesome-copilot/acreadiness-generate-instructions@git:20260504.ebd2249Pins git:20260504.ebd2249 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Generate tailored AI agent instruction files via AgentRC instructions command. Produces .github/copilot-instructions.md (default, recommended for Copilot in VS Code) plus optional per-area .instructions.md files with applyTo globs for monorepos. Use after running /acreadiness-assess to close gaps in the AI Tooling pillar.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# /acreadiness-generate-instructions — write AI agent instructions Use this skill whenever the user wants to **create**, **regenerate**, or **refresh** their custom instructions for AI coding agents (Copilot, Claude, etc.). This is the *Generate* step in AgentRC's **Measure → Generate → Maintain** loop and the single highest-leverage action for the **AI Tooling** pillar. ## Output options VS Code recognises several instruction file types — AgentRC generates the most common ones: | File | Scope | When to use | |---|---|---| | `.github/copilot-instructions.md` | Always-on, whole workspace | **Default** — VS Code Copilot's native instruction file | | `AGENTS.md` | Always-on, whole workspace | Multi-agent repos (Copilot + Claude + others) | | `.github/instructions/*.instructions.md` | Scoped by `applyTo` glob | Per-area / per-language rules in monorepos | | `CLAUDE.md` | Claude-specific | Add via `--claude-md` (nested only) | ## Strategies - **`flat`** *(default)* — single `.github/copilot-instructions.md` at the chosen path. Simple, easy to review. …

How to install
mdr add github/awesome-copilot/acreadiness-generate-instructions@sha256:b0f4f82099fbfdcdThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260504.ebd2249, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
