This PR refactors the workflow rules to reduce context usage while maintaining access to detailed instructions when needed.

Changes Made

New Files Created

  • **** - Contains detailed git repository initialization steps
  • **** - Contains detailed template setup workflow steps

Files Modified

  • **** - Replaced inline detailed steps with references to abstracted files
  • Emphasized Pull Request step - Added visual alerts and mandatory language to prevent skipping

Benefits

  • Reduced context usage: Main workflow rules are now much more concise
  • Maintained functionality: Detailed instructions are still available when needed
  • Better organization: Different concerns are properly separated into focused files
  • Improved clarity: Critical steps are now more prominently highlighted

Context Reduction

  • Repository Initialization: 29 lines → 1 line
  • Template Setup Workflow: 14 lines → 1 line
  • Total reduction: ~40+ lines of context while maintaining full functionality

The abstracted files use with no global globs, so they won't be automatically loaded unless specifically referenced.
