Addresses missing documentation for .github/agents/ feature. Users need to understand repository-level AI assistants and nested folder context enrichment.

Changes

Documentation files

  • dotNet/src/Agents.md
  • Typescript/Agents.md
  • cpp/src/Agents.md

Each covers:

  • GitHub Copilot Agents overview
  • Link to agents.md for discovering available AI assistants
  • Nested folder structure examples for context enrichment
  • Differentiation between chat modes (user-level) vs agents (repo-level)

Tour steps

Added educational steps positioned after custom chat mode sections:

  • .NET: Step 37/40
  • TypeScript: Step 20/23
  • C++: Step 26/28

Example nested structure explained:

.github/agents/
├── tour-agent.md              # General purpose
├── backend/
│   └── api-reviewer.md        # Backend-specific with deeper context
└── frontend/
    └── ui-helper.md           # Frontend-specific with deeper context

Tour steps emphasize:

  • Multiple AI assistants available out-of-the-box via agents.md
  • Nested folders provide richer context for specialized work
  • Version-controlled team collaboration vs personal chat modes
