+description: 'Generate an 80-character git commit title for the local diff.'
+---
+
+**Goal:** Provide a ready-to-paste git commit title (<= 80 characters) that captures the most important local changes since `HEAD`.
+
+**Workflow:**
+1. Run a single command to view the local diff since the last commit:
+   ```@terminal
+   git diff HEAD
+   ```
+2. From that diff, identify the dominant area (reference key paths like `src/modules/*`, `doc/devdocs/**`, etc.), the type of change (bug fix, docs update, config tweak), and any notable impact.
+3. Draft a concise, imperative commit title summarizing the dominant change. Keep it plain ASCII, <= 80 characters, and avoid trailing punctuation. Mention the primary component when obvious (for example `FancyZones:` or `Docs:`).
+4. Respond with only the final commit title on a single line so it can be pasted directly into `git commit`.

+description: 'Generate a PowerToys-ready pull request description from the local diff.'
+---
+
+**Goal:** Produce a ready-to-paste PR title and description that follows PowerToys conventions by comparing the current branch against a user-selected target branch.
+
+**Repo guardrails:**
+- Treat `.github/pull_request_template.md` as the single source of truth; load it at runtime instead of embedding hardcoded content in this prompt.
+- Preserve section order from the template but only surface checklist lines that are relevant for the detected changes, filling them with `[x]`/`[ ]` as appropriate.
+- Cite touched paths with inline backticks, matching the guidance in `.github/copilot-instructions.md`.
+- Call out test coverage explicitly: list automated tests run (unit/UI) or state why they are not applicable.
+
+**Workflow:**
+1. Determine the target branch from user context; default to `main` when no branch is supplied.
+2. Run `git status --short` once to surface uncommitted files that may influence the summary.
+3. Run `git diff <target-branch>...HEAD` a single time to review the detailed changes. Only when confidence stays low dig deeper with focused calls such as `git diff <target-branch>...HEAD -- <path>`.
+4. From the diff, capture impacted areas, key file changes, behavioral risks, migrations, and noteworthy edge cases.
+5. Confirm validation: list tests executed with results or state why tests were skipped in line with repo guidance.
+6. Load `.github/pull_request_template.md`, mirror its section order, and populate it with the gathered facts. Include only relevant checklist entries, marking them `[x]/[ ]` and noting any intentional omissions as "N/A".
+7. Present the filled template inside a fenced ```markdown code block with no extra commentary so it is ready to paste into a PR, clearly flagging any placeholders that still need user input.

+description: 'Resolve Code scanning / check-spelling comments on the active PR.'
+---
+
+**Goal:** Clear every outstanding GitHub pull request comment created by the `Code scanning / check-spelling` workflow by explicitly allowing intentional terms.
+
+**Guardrails:**
+- Update only discussion threads authored by `github-actions` or `github-actions[bot]` that mention `Code scanning results / check-spelling`.
+- Resolve findings solely by editing `.github/actions/spell-check/expect.txt`; reuse existing entries.
+- Leave all other files and topics untouched.
+
+**Prerequisites:**
+- Install GitHub CLI if it is not present: `winget install GitHub.cli`.
+- Run `gh auth login` once before the first CLI use.
+
+**Workflow:**
+1. Determine the active pull request with a single `gh pr view --json number` call (default to the current branch).
+2. Fetch all PR discussion data once via `gh pr view --json comments,reviews` and filter to check-spelling comments authored by `github-actions` or `github-actions[bot]` that are not minimized; when several remain, process only the most recent comment body.
+3. For each flagged token, review `.github/actions/spell-check/expect.txt` for an equivalent term (for example an existing lowercase variant); when found, reuse that normalized term rather than adding a new entry, even if the flagged token differs only by casing. Only add a new entry after confirming no equivalent already exists.
+4. Add any remaining missing token to `.github/actions/spell-check/expect.txt`, keeping surrounding formatting intact.

   #### MSI BUILDING AND SIGNING
+  #
+  # The MSI build contains code that reverts the .wxs files to their in-tree versions.
+  # This is only supposed to happen during local builds. Since this build system is
+  # supposed to run side by side--machine and then user--we do NOT want to destroy
+  # the .wxs files. Therefore, we pass RunBuildEvents=false to suppress all of that
+  # logic.
+  #
+  # We pass BuildProjectReferences=false so that it does not recompile the DLLs we just built.
+  # We only pass -restore on the first one because the second run should already have all
+  # of the dependencies.

+         *
+         * 1. Set the window's owner. Owned windows do not appear on the taskbar:
+         *    Turns out this is the most reliable way to hide a window from the taskbar and ALT+TAB. WinForms and WPF uses this method
+         *    to back their ShowInTaskbar property as well.
+         *
+         * 2. Use the WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW extended window style:
+         *    This mostly works, with some reports that it silently fails in some cases. The biggest issue
+         *    is that for certain Windows settings (like Multitasking -> Show taskbar buttons on all displays = On all desktops),
+         *    the taskbar button is always shown even for tool windows.
+         *
+         * 3. Using ITaskbarList:
+         *    This is what AppWindow.IsShownInSwitchers uses, but it's COM-based and more complex, and can
+         *    fail if Explorer isn't running or responding. It could be a good backup, if needed.
