# GitHub Copilot Instructions for Vault Enterprise

This repository contains coding guidelines and best practices for the Vault Enterprise project.

## Instruction Files

The `.github/instructions/` directory contains domain-specific coding guidelines:

### Go Development

- **[golang.instructions.md](instructions/generic/golang.instructions.md)**: General Go programming guidelines covering code style, package organization, error handling, and idiomatic patterns

## How These Instructions Work

GitHub Copilot automatically applies these instructions based on the `applyTo` patterns defined in each file's frontmatter. For example:

- Go-specific rules apply to `**/*.go` files
- Go test rules apply to `**/*_test.go` files
- Ember UI rules apply to `vault/ui/**/*` files

When writing code, Copilot will reference the appropriate instruction files to provide context-aware suggestions that align with project standards.
