## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
The changes include the addition of a new prompt for fixing active PR
comments with scoped changes, ensuring that only simple fixes are
applied. Additionally, references to the model 'GPT-5.1-Codex-Max' have
been removed from several prompt files to streamline the prompts.
## Validation Steps Performed
Manual validation of the new prompt functionality was conducted to
ensure it correctly identifies and resolves active PR comments.
```
## Summary of the Pull Request
- Clarified the PR-summary prompt to prepend a PR title and to reuse the
Conventional Commit rules from
`.github/prompts/create-commit-title.prompt.md`.
- Expanded the commit-title prompt with clearer purpose, inputs, and
Conventional Commit guidance.
- Added workspace Copilot chat settings in `.vscode/settings.json` to
point review/commit/PR generation at the repo prompt files.
e.g. for commit tile generation:

## PR Checklist
- [ ] Closes: N/A
- [ ] Communication: N/A (prompt/settings maintenance)
- [ ] Tests: Not run (prompt/settings-only change)
## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
- The PR-summary workflow now directs PR title generation to the
existing commit-title prompt instead of duplicating rules, and places
the title above the filled template.
- The commit-title prompt now spells out required diff command, decision
steps, and Conventional Commit examples.
- VS Code Copilot chat settings ensure review, commit, and PR
description generation use the repository prompts consistently.
## Validation Steps Performed
- Not run (no product code changes)
Title: Docs: consolidate Copilot instructions and prompt metadata
## Summary
- Consolidated AI guidance into a root AGENTS.md and new
`.github/instructions` files, removing older per-folder instructions.
- Scoped instruction files for pipelines, common libraries,
runner/settings UI, prompts, and simplified
`.github/copilot-instructions.md` to point to the sources of truth.
- Fixed prompt frontmatter (YAML markers, quoted fields, headings)
across built-in prompt files.
- Most instructions.md is from https://github.com/github/awesome-copilot
## Testing
- Not run (documentation/instructions-only change)

## Summary of the Pull Request
This pull request introduces several improvements and updates across the
repository, focusing on build tooling, prompt configuration for AI
agents, and documentation clarity. The most significant changes include
the addition of new VSCode build tasks, updates to prompt files to use a
newer AI model, enhancements to the build script for flexibility, and
refinements to documentation and style rules.
### Enabled scenario
* On any active files in VSCode, do "Ctrl + Shift + B" just build
correctly for you.
* The Run Task (no matter from Terminal or Ctrl + Shift + P), we can see
the build option:

src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/09fbef16-55ce-42d5-a9ec-74111be83472"
/>
**Build tooling and automation:**
* Added a new `.vscode/tasks.json` file with configurable build tasks
for PowerToys, supporting quick and customizable builds with platform
and configuration selection.
* Enhanced `tools/build/build.ps1` to support an optional `-Path`
parameter for building projects in a specified directory, updated
parameter documentation, and improved logic to resolve the working
directory.

**AI agent prompt configuration:**

agent field format.

* Improved clarity and consistency in the description and instructions
within the `review-issue.prompt.md` file.
**Documentation and style rules:**
* Updated `.github/copilot-instructions.md` to clarify that C++ and C#
style analyzers and formatters are now enforced from the `src/`
directory, not the repo root, and made the C++ formatting rule more
precise.
