This PR adds a comprehensive .github/copilot-instructions.md file that provides GitHub Copilot coding agents with detailed instructions for working effectively in the gookit/goutil codebase.

What's Included

The instructions cover all essential development workflows:

  • Bootstrap and Build: Complete setup commands with precise timing expectations
  • Testing: Full test suite execution with critical timeout warnings
  • Code Quality: Formatting and linting requirements for CI compliance
  • Documentation: README generation using the custom internal/gendoc tool
  • Validation Scenarios: Copy-paste ready code examples to verify functionality

Key Features

Precise Timing Information

All commands include measured execution times:

  • Build: ~0.4 seconds (very fast)
  • Tests: ~4 seconds with cache, ~24 seconds without cache
  • Critical: Tests require 60+ minute timeouts with "NEVER CANCEL" warnings

Working Validation Examples

Includes immediately usable validation code:

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "github.com/gookit/goutil"
    "github.com/gookit/goutil/arrutil"
    "github.com/gookit/goutil/strutil"
)

func main() {
    // Test core functions
    fmt.Println("IsEmpty(''):", goutil.IsEmpty(""))
    fmt.Println("Contains('hello', 'el'):", goutil.Contains("hello", "el"))
    
    // Test array utilities
    fmt.Println("StringsHas(['a','b'], 'a'):", arrutil.StringsHas([]string{"a","b"}, "a"))
    
    // Test string utilities  
    fmt.Println("HasPrefix('hello', 'he'):", strutil.HasPrefix("hello", "he"))
    
    fmt.Println("✅ Validation complete")
}

Comprehensive Project Knowledge

  • 18 main utility packages with descriptions and common APIs
  • Testing patterns using github.com/gookit/goutil/testutil/assert
  • CI requirements including mandatory code formatting
  • Project conventions and file organization
  • Troubleshooting guidance for common issues

Validation

All instructions have been thoroughly validated with a complete end-to-end test script that verifies:

  • ✅ Bootstrap and build commands work correctly
  • ✅ Test suite executes successfully with proper timeouts
  • ✅ Code formatting and quality checks pass
  • ✅ Documentation generation completes
  • ✅ Validation scenarios execute and produce expected output
  • ✅ Coverage testing works as documented

The instructions follow the imperative tone requirement and include explicit warnings about critical operations that should never be cancelled, ensuring reliable development workflows for any GitHub Copilot agent working in this codebase.

Fixes #228.
