-description: PowerToys AI contributor guidance.
-applyTo: pullRequests

-
-# PowerToys - Copilot guide (concise)
-
-This is the top-level guide for AI changes. Keep edits small, follow existing patterns, and cite exact paths in PRs.
-
-# Repo map (1-line per area)
-- Core apps: `src/runner/**` (tray/loader), `src/settings-ui/**` (Settings app)
-- Shared libs: `src/common/**`
-- Modules: `src/modules/*` (one per utility; Command Palette in `src/modules/cmdpal/**`)
-- Build tools/docs: `tools/**`, `doc/devdocs/**`
-
-# Build and test (defaults)
-- Prerequisites: Visual Studio 2022 17.4+, minimal Windows 10 1803+.
-- Build discipline:
-  - One terminal per operation (build -> test). Do not switch or open new ones mid-flow.
-  - After making changes, `cd` to the project folder that changed (`.csproj`/`.vcxproj`).
-  - Use scripts to build, synchronously block and wait in foreground for completion: `tools/build/build.ps1|.cmd` (current folder), `build-essentials.*` (once per brand new build for missing nuget packages).
-  - Treat build exit code 0 as success; any non-zero exit code is a failure. Read the errors log in the build folder (such as `build.*.*.errors.log`) and surface problems.
-  - Do not start tests or launch Runner until the previous step succeeded.
-- Tests (fast and targeted):
-  - Find the test project by product code prefix (for example FancyZones, AdvancedPaste). Look for a sibling folder or one to two levels up named like `<Product>*UnitTests` or `<Product>*UITests`.
-  - Build the test project, wait for exit, then run only those tests via VS Test Explorer or `vstest.console.exe` with filters. Avoid `dotnet test` in this repo.
-  - Add or adjust tests when changing behavior; if skipped, state why (for example comment-only or string rename).
-
-# Pull requests (expectations)
-- Atomic: one logical change; no drive-by refactors.
-- Describe: problem, approach, risk, test evidence.
-- List: touched paths if not obvious.
-
-# When to ask for clarification
-- Ambiguous spec after scanning relevant docs (see below).
-- Cross-module impact (shared enum or struct) not clear.
-- Security, elevation, or installer changes.
-
-# Logging (use existing stacks)
-- C++ logging lives in `src/common/logger/**` (`Logger::info`, `Logger::warn`, `Logger::error`, `Logger::debug`). Keep hot paths quiet (hooks, tight loops).
-- C# logging goes through `ManagedCommon.Logger` (`LogInfo`, `LogWarning`, `LogError`, `LogDebug`, `LogTrace`). Some UIs use injected `ILogger` via `LoggerInstance.Logger`.
-
-# Docs to consult
-- `tools/build/BUILD-GUIDELINES.md`
-- `doc/devdocs/core/architecture.md`
-- `doc/devdocs/core/runner.md`
-- `doc/devdocs/core/settings/readme.md`
-- `doc/devdocs/modules/readme.md`
-
-# Language style rules
-- Always enforce repo analyzers: root `.editorconfig` plus any `stylecop.json`.
-- C# code follows StyleCop.Analyzers and Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.NetAnalyzers.
-- C++ code honors `.clang-format` plus `.clang-tidy` (modernize/cppcoreguidelines/readability).
-- Markdown files wrap at 80 characters and use ATX headers with fenced code blocks that include language tags.
-- YAML files indent two spaces and add comments for complex settings while keeping keys clear.
-- PowerShell scripts use Verb-Noun names and prefer single-quoted literals while documenting parameters and satisfying PSScriptAnalyzer.
-
-# Done checklist (self review before finishing)
-- Build clean? Tests updated or passed? No unintended formatting? Any new dependency? Documented skips?

----
-
-**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.

----
-
-**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.

-
-## Suggested Actions
-Provide actionable recommendations for issue triage and assignment:
-
-### A) Requirement Clarification (if Clarity score <50)
-**When Requirement Clarity (Dimension D) is Medium or Low:**
-- Identify specific gaps in issue description: missing repro steps, unclear expected behavior, undefined acceptance criteria, missing non-functional requirements
-- Draft 3-5 clarifying questions to post as issue comment
-- Suggest additional information needed: screenshots, logs, environment details, OS version, PowerToys version, error messages
-- If behavior is ambiguous, propose 2-3 interpretation scenarios and ask reporter to confirm
-- Example questions:
-  - "Can you provide exact steps to reproduce this issue?"
-  - "What is the expected behavior vs. what you're actually seeing?"
-  - "Does this happen on Windows 10, 11, or both?"
-  - "Can you attach a screenshot or screen recording?"
-
-### B) Correct Label Suggestions
-- Analyze issue type, module, and severity to suggest missing or incorrect labels
-- Recommend labels from: `Issue-Bug`, `Issue-Feature`, `Issue-Docs`, `Issue-Task`, `Priority-High`, `Priority-Medium`, `Priority-Low`, `Needs-Triage`, `Needs-Author-Feedback`, `Product-<ModuleName>`, etc.
-- If Requirement Clarity is low (<50), add `Needs-Author-Feedback` label
-- If current labels are incorrect or incomplete, provide specific label changes with rationale
-
-### C) Find Similar Issues & Past Fixes
-- Search for similar issues using `gh issue list --search "keywords" --state all --json number,title,state,closedAt`
-- Identify patterns: duplicate issues, related bugs, or similar feature requests
-- For closed issues, find linked PRs that fixed them: check `linkedPullRequests` in issue data
-- Provide 3-5 examples of similar issues with format: `#<number> - <title> (closed by PR #<pr>)` or `(still open)`
-
-### D) Identify Subject Matter Experts
-- Use git blame/log to find who fixed similar issues in the past
-- Search for PR authors who touched relevant files: `git log --all --format='%aN' -- <file_paths> | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head -5`
-- Check issue/PR history for frequent contributors to the affected module
-- Suggest 2-3 potential assignees with context: `@<username> - <reason>` (e.g., "fixed similar rendering bug in #12345", "maintains FancyZones module")
-
-### E) Semantic Search for Related Work
-- Use semantic_search tool to find similar issues, code patterns, or past discussions
-- Search queries should include: issue keywords, module names, error messages, feature descriptions
-- Cross-reference semantic results with GitHub issue search for comprehensive coverage
-
-**Output format for Suggested Actions section in overview.md:**
-```markdown

-# IMPLEMENTATION-PLAN.MD
-1) **Problem Framing** — restate problem; current vs expected; scope boundaries.  
-2) **Layers & Files** — layers (UI/domain/data/infra/build). For each, list **files/dirs to modify** and **new files** (exact paths + why). Prefer repo patterns; cite examples/PRs.  
-3) **Pattern Choices** — reuse existing; if new, justify trade-offs & transition.  
-4) **Fundamentals** (brief plan or N/A + reason):
-- Performance (hot paths, allocs, caching/streaming)
-- Security (validation, authN/Z, secrets, SSRF/XSS/CSRF)
-- G11N/L10N (resources, number/date, pluralization)
-- Compatibility (public APIs, formats, OS/runtime/toolchain)
-- Extensibility (DI seams, options/flags, plugin points)
-- Accessibility (roles, labels, focus, keyboard, contrast)
-- SOLID & repo conventions (naming, folders, dependency direction)
-5) **Logging & Exception Handling**
-- Where to log; levels; structured fields; correlation/traces.
-- What to catch vs rethrow; retries/backoff; user-visible errors.
-- **Privacy**: never log secrets/PII; redaction policy.
-6) **Telemetry (optional — business metrics only)**
-- Events/metrics (name, when, props); success signal; privacy/sampling; dashboards/alerts.
-7) **Risks & Mitigations** — flags/canary/shadow-write/config guards.  
-8) **Task Breakdown (agent-ready)** — table (leave a blank line before the header so Markdown renders correctly):
-
-| Task | Intent | Files/Areas | Steps | Tests (brief) | Owner (Agent/Human) | Human interaction needed? (why) |
-|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
-
-9) **Tests to Add (only)**
-- **Unit**: targets, cases (success/edge/error), mocks/fixtures, path, notes.  
-- **UI** (if applicable): flows, locator strategy, env/data/flags, path, flake mitigation.

----
-
-# PR Review — gh + stepwise
-
-**Goal**: Given `{{pr_number}}`, run a *one-topic-per-step* review. Write files to `Generated Files/prReview/{{pr_number}}/` (replace `{{pr_number}}` with the integer). Emit machine‑readable blocks for a GitHub MCP to post review comments.
-
-## PR selection
-Resolve the target PR using these fallbacks in order:
-1. Parse the invocation text for an explicit identifier (first integer following patterns such as a leading hash and digits or the text `PR:` followed by digits).
-2. If no PR is found yet, locate the newest `Generated Files/prReview/_batch/batch-overview-*.md` file (highest timestamp in filename, fallback newest mtime) and take the first entry in its `## PRs` list whose review folder is missing `00-OVERVIEW.md` or contains `__error.flag`.
-3. If the batch file has no pending PRs, query assignments with `gh pr list --assignee @me --state open --json number,updatedAt --limit 20` and pick the most recently updated PR that does not already have a completed review folder.
-4. If still unknown, run `gh pr view --json number` in the current branch and use that result when it is unambiguous.
-5. If every step above fails, prompt the user for a PR number before proceeding.
-
-## Fetch PR data with `gh`
-- `gh pr view {{pr_number}} --json number,baseRefName,headRefName,baseRefOid,headRefOid,changedFiles,files`
-- `gh api repos/:owner/:repo/pulls/{{pr_number}}/files?per_page=250`  # patches for line mapping
-
-### Incremental review workflow
-1. **Check for existing review**: Read `Generated Files/prReview/{{pr_number}}/00-OVERVIEW.md`
-2. **Extract state**: Parse `Last reviewed SHA:` from review metadata section
-3. **Detect changes**: Run `Get-PrIncrementalChanges.ps1 -PullRequestNumber {{pr_number}} -LastReviewedCommitSha {{sha}}`
-4. **Analyze result**:
-   - `NeedFullReview: true` → Review all files in the PR
-   - `NeedFullReview: false` and `IsIncremental: true` → Review only files in `ChangedFiles` array
-   - `ChangedFiles` is empty → No changes, skip review (update iteration history with "No changes since last review")
-5. **Apply smart filtering**: Use the file patterns in smart step filtering table to skip irrelevant steps
-6. **Update metadata**: After completing review, save current `headRefOid` as `Last reviewed SHA:` in `00-OVERVIEW.md`
-
-### Reusable PowerShell scripts
-Scripts live in `.github/review-tools/` to avoid repeated manual approvals during PR reviews:
-
-| Script | Usage |
-| --- | --- |
-| `.github/review-tools/Get-GitHubRawFile.ps1` | Download a repository file at a given ref, optionally with line numbers. |
-| `.github/review-tools/Get-GitHubPrFilePatch.ps1` | Fetch the unified diff for a specific file within a pull request via `gh api`. |
-| `.github/review-tools/Get-PrIncrementalChanges.ps1` | Compare last reviewed SHA with current PR head to identify incremental changes. Returns JSON with changed files, new commits, and whether full review is needed. |
-| `.github/review-tools/Test-IncrementalReview.ps1` | Test helper to preview incremental review detection for a PR. Use before running full review to see what changed. |
-
-Always prefer these scripts (or new ones added under `.github/review-tools/`) over raw `gh api` or similar shell commands so the review flow does not trigger interactive approval prompts.
-
-## Output files
-Folder: `Generated Files/prReview/{{pr_number}}/`
-Files: `00-OVERVIEW.md`, `01-functionality.md`, `02-compatibility.md`, `03-performance.md`, `04-accessibility.md`, `05-security.md`, `06-localization.md`, `07-globalization.md`, `08-extensibility.md`, `09-solid-design.md`, `10-repo-patterns.md`, `11-docs-automation.md`, `12-code-comments.md`, `13-copilot-guidance.md` *(only if guidance md exists).* 
-- **Write-after-step rule:** Immediately after completing each TODO step, persist that step's markdown file before proceeding to the next. Generate `00-OVERVIEW.md` only after every step file has been refreshed for the current run.
-
-## Iteration management
-- Determine the current review iteration by reading `00-OVERVIEW.md` (look for `Review iteration:`). If missing, assume iteration `1`.
-- Extract the last reviewed SHA from `00-OVERVIEW.md` (look for `Last reviewed SHA:` in the review metadata section). If missing, this is iteration 1.
-- **Incremental review detection**:
-  1. Call `.github/review-tools/Get-PrIncrementalChanges.ps1 -PullRequestNumber {{pr_number}} -LastReviewedCommitSha {{last_sha}}` to get delta analysis.
-  2. Parse the JSON result to determine if incremental review is possible (`IsIncremental: true`, `NeedFullReview: false`).
-  3. If force-push detected or first review, proceed with full review of all changed files.
-  4. If incremental, review only the files listed in `ChangedFiles` array and apply smart step filtering (see below).
-- Increment the iteration for each review run and propagate the new value to all step files and the overview.
-- Preserve prior iteration notes by keeping/expanding an `## Iteration history` section in each markdown file, appending the newest summary under `### Iteration <N>`.
-- Summaries should capture key deltas since the previous iteration so reruns can pick up context quickly.
-- **After review completion**, update `Last reviewed SHA:` in `00-OVERVIEW.md` with the current `headRefOid` and update the timestamp.
-
-### Smart step filtering (incremental reviews only)
-When performing incremental review, skip steps that are irrelevant based on changed file types:
-
-| File pattern | Required steps | Skippable steps |
-| --- | --- | --- |
-| `**/*.cs`, `**/*.cpp`, `**/*.h` | Functionality, Compatibility, Performance, Security, SOLID, Repo patterns, Code comments | (depends on files) |
-| `**/*.resx`, `**/Resources/*.xaml` | Localization, Globalization | Most others |
-| `**/*.md` (docs) | Docs & automation | Most others (unless copilot guidance) |
-| `**/*copilot*.md`, `.github/prompts/*.md` | Copilot guidance, Docs & automation | Most others |
-| `**/*.csproj`, `**/*.vcxproj`, `**/packages.config` | Compatibility, Security, Repo patterns | Localization, Globalization, Accessibility |
-| `**/UI/**`, `**/*View.xaml` | Accessibility, Localization | Performance (unless perf-sensitive controls) |
-
-**Default**: If uncertain or files span multiple categories, run all applicable steps. When in doubt, be conservative and review more rather than less.
-
-## TODO steps (one concern each)
-1) Functionality
-2) Compatibility
-3) Performance
-4) Accessibility
-5) Security
-6) Localization
-7) Globalization
-8) Extensibility
-9) SOLID principles
-10) Repo patterns
-11) Docs & automation coverage for the changes
-12) Code comments
-13) Copilot guidance (conditional): if changed folders contain `*copilot*.md` or `.github/prompts/*.md`, review diffs **against** that guidance and write `13-copilot-guidance.md` (omit if none).

-**Review iteration:** ITERATION
-**Changed files:** <n> | **High severity issues:** <count>
-
-## Review metadata
-**Last reviewed SHA:** <headRefOid from gh pr view>
-**Last review timestamp:** <ISO8601 timestamp>
-**Review mode:** <Full|Incremental (N files changed since iteration X)>
-**Base ref:** <baseRefName>
-**Head ref:** <headRefName>
-
-## Step results
-Write lines like: `01 Functionality — <OK|Issues|Skipped> (see 01-functionality.md)` … through step 13.
-Mark steps as "Skipped" when using incremental review smart filtering.
-
-## Iteration history
-- Maintain subsections titled `### Iteration N` mirroring the per-step convention with concise deltas and cross-links to the relevant step files.
-- For incremental reviews, list the specific files that changed and which commits were added.
-```
-
-## Line numbers & multi‑file issues
-- Map head‑side lines from `patch` hunks (`@@ -a,b +c,d @@` → new lines `+c..+c+d-1`).
-- For cross‑file issues: set the primary `"file"`, list others in `"related_files"`, and name them in `"body"`.
-
-## Posting (for MCP)
-- Parse all ```mcp-review-comment``` blocks across step files and post as PR review comments.
-- If posting isn’t available, still write all files.
-
-## Constraint
-Read/analyze only; don't modify code. Keep comments small, specific, and fix‑oriented.
-
-**Testing**: Use `.github/review-tools/Test-IncrementalReview.ps1 -PullRequestNumber 42374` to preview incremental detection before running full review.
-
-## Scratch cache for large PRs
-
-Create a local scratch workspace to progressively summarize diffs and reload state across runs.
-
-### Paths
-- Root: `Generated Files/prReview/{{pr_number}}/__tmp/`
-- Files:
-  - `index.jsonl` — append-only JSON Lines index of artifacts.
-  - `todo-queue.json` — pending items (files/chunks/steps).
-  - `rollup-<step>-v<N>.md` — iterative per-step aggregates.
-  - `file-<hash>.txt` — optional saved chunk text (when needed).
-
-### JSON schema (per line in `index.jsonl`)
-```json
-{"type":"chunk|summary|issue|crosslink",
- "path":"relative/file.ext","chunk_id":"f-12","step":"functionality|compatibility|...",
- "base_sha":"...", "head_sha":"...", "range":[start,end], "version":1,
- "notes":"short text or key:value map", "created_utc":"ISO8601"}
-```
-
-### Phases (stateful; resume-safe)
-0. **Discover** PR + SHAs: `gh pr view <PR> --json baseRefName,headRefName,baseRefOid,headRefOid,files`.
-1. **Chunk** each changed file (head): split into ~300–600 LOC or ~4k chars; stable `chunk_id` = hash(path+start).
-   - Save `chunk` records. Optionally write `file-<hash>.txt` for expensive chunks.
-2. **Summarize** per chunk: intent, APIs, risks per TODO step; emit `summary` records (≤600 tokens each).
-3. **Issues**: convert findings to machine-readable blocks and emit `issue` records (later rendered to step MD).
-4. **Rollups**: build/update `rollup-<step>-v<N>.md` from `summary`+`issue`. Keep prior versions.
-5. **Finalize**: write per-step files + `00-OVERVIEW.md` from rollups. Post comments via MCP if available.
-
-### Re-use & token limits
-- Always **reload** `index.jsonl` first; skip chunks with same `head_sha` and `range`.
-- **Incremental review optimization**: When `Get-PrIncrementalChanges.ps1` returns a subset of changed files, load only chunks from those files. Reuse existing chunks/summaries for unchanged files.
-- Prefer re-summarizing only changed chunks; merge chunk summaries → file summaries → step rollups.
-- When context is tight, load only the minimal chunk text (or its saved `file-<hash>.txt`) needed for a comment.
-
-### Original vs diff
-- Fetch base content when needed: prefer `git show <baseRefName>:<path>`; fallback `gh api repos/:owner/:repo/contents/<path>?ref=<base_sha>` (base64).
-- Use patch hunks from `gh api .../pulls/<PR>/files` to compute **head** line numbers.
-
-### Queue-driven loop
-- Seed `todo-queue.json` with all changed files.
-- Process: chunk → summarize → detect issues → roll up.
-- Append to `index.jsonl` after each step; never rewrite previous lines (append-only).
-
-### Hygiene
-- `__tmp/` is implementation detail; do not include in final artifacts.
-- It is safe to delete to force a clean pass; the next run rebuilds it.

-<#
-.SYNOPSIS
-    Detects changes between the last reviewed commit and current head of a pull request.
-
-.DESCRIPTION
-    This script compares a previously reviewed commit SHA with the current head of a pull request
-    to determine what has changed. It helps enable incremental reviews by identifying new commits
-    and modified files since the last review iteration.
-
-    The script handles several scenarios:
-    - First review (no previous SHA provided)
-    - No changes (current SHA matches last reviewed SHA)
-    - Force-push detected (last reviewed SHA no longer in history)
-    - Incremental changes (new commits added since last review)
-
-.PARAMETER PullRequestNumber
-    The pull request number to analyze.
-
-.PARAMETER LastReviewedCommitSha
-    The commit SHA that was last reviewed. If omitted, this is treated as a first review.
-
-.PARAMETER RepositoryOwner
-    The GitHub repository owner. Defaults to "microsoft".
-
-.PARAMETER RepositoryName
-    The GitHub repository name. Defaults to "PowerToys".
-
-.OUTPUTS
-    JSON object containing:
-    - PullRequestNumber: The PR number being analyzed
-    - CurrentHeadSha: The current head commit SHA
-    - LastReviewedSha: The last reviewed commit SHA (if provided)
-    - BaseRefName: Base branch name
-    - HeadRefName: Head branch name
-    - IsIncremental: Boolean indicating if incremental review is possible
-    - NeedFullReview: Boolean indicating if a full review is required
-    - ChangedFiles: Array of files that changed (filename, status, additions, deletions)
-    - NewCommits: Array of commits added since last review (sha, message, author, date)
-    - Summary: Human-readable description of changes
-
-.EXAMPLE
-    .\Get-PrIncrementalChanges.ps1 -PullRequestNumber 42374
-    Analyzes PR #42374 with no previous review (first review scenario).
-
-.EXAMPLE
-    .\Get-PrIncrementalChanges.ps1 -PullRequestNumber 42374 -LastReviewedCommitSha "abc123def456"
-    Compares current PR state against the last reviewed commit to identify incremental changes.

-.DESCRIPTION
-    This helper script validates the incremental review detection logic by analyzing an existing
-    PR review folder. It reads the last reviewed SHA from the overview file, compares it with
-    the current PR state, and displays detailed information about what has changed.
-    
-    This is useful for:
-    - Testing the incremental review system before running a full review
-    - Understanding what changed since the last review iteration
-    - Verifying that review metadata was properly recorded
-
-.PARAMETER PullRequestNumber
-    The pull request number to test incremental review detection for.
-
-.PARAMETER RepositoryOwner
-    The GitHub repository owner. Defaults to "microsoft".
-
-.PARAMETER RepositoryName
-    The GitHub repository name. Defaults to "PowerToys".
-
-.OUTPUTS
-    Colored console output displaying:
-    - Current and last reviewed commit SHAs
-    - Whether incremental review is possible
-    - List of new commits since last review
-    - List of changed files with status indicators
-    - Recommended review strategy

-```
-Expected: README content displayed
-
-**Get PR file patch:**
-```powershell
-.\Get-GitHubPrFilePatch.ps1 -PullRequestNumber 42374 -FilePath ".github/actions/spell-check/expect.txt"
-```
-Expected: Unified diff output
-
-## Available Scripts
-
-### Get-GitHubRawFile.ps1
-
-Downloads and displays file content from a GitHub repository at a specific git reference.
-
-**Purpose:** Retrieve baseline file content for comparison during PR reviews.
-
-**Parameters:**
-- `FilePath` (required): Relative path to file in repository
-- `GitReference` (optional): Git ref (branch, tag, SHA). Default: "main"
-- `RepositoryOwner` (optional): Repository owner. Default: "microsoft"
-- `RepositoryName` (optional): Repository name. Default: "PowerToys"
-- `ShowLineNumbers` (switch): Prefix each line with line number
-- `StartLineNumber` (optional): Starting line number when using `-ShowLineNumbers`. Default: 1
-
-**Usage:**
-```powershell
-.\Get-GitHubRawFile.ps1 -FilePath "src/runner/main.cpp" -GitReference "main" -ShowLineNumbers
-```
-
-### Get-GitHubPrFilePatch.ps1
-
-Fetches the unified diff (patch) for a specific file in a pull request.
-
-**Purpose:** Get the exact changes made to a file in a PR for detailed review.
-
-**Parameters:**
-- `PullRequestNumber` (required): Pull request number
-- `FilePath` (required): Relative path to file in the PR
-- `RepositoryOwner` (optional): Repository owner. Default: "microsoft"
-- `RepositoryName` (optional): Repository name. Default: "PowerToys"
-
-**Usage:**
-```powershell
-.\Get-GitHubPrFilePatch.ps1 -PullRequestNumber 42374 -FilePath "src/modules/cmdpal/main.cpp"
-```
-
-**Output:** Unified diff showing changes made to the file.
-
-### Get-PrIncrementalChanges.ps1
-
-Compares the last reviewed commit with the current PR head to identify incremental changes.
-
-**Purpose:** Enable efficient incremental reviews by detecting what changed since the last review iteration.
-
-**Parameters:**
-- `PullRequestNumber` (required): Pull request number
-- `LastReviewedCommitSha` (optional): SHA of the commit that was last reviewed. If omitted, assumes first review.
-- `RepositoryOwner` (optional): Repository owner. Default: "microsoft"
-- `RepositoryName` (optional): Repository name. Default: "PowerToys"
-
-**Usage:**
-```powershell
-.\Get-PrIncrementalChanges.ps1 -PullRequestNumber 42374 -LastReviewedCommitSha "abc123def456"
-```
-
-**Output:** JSON object with detailed change analysis:
-```json
-{
-  "PullRequestNumber": 42374,
-  "CurrentHeadSha": "xyz789abc123",
-  "LastReviewedSha": "abc123def456",
-  "IsIncremental": true,
-  "NeedFullReview": false,
-  "ChangedFiles": [
-    {
-      "Filename": "src/modules/cmdpal/main.cpp",
-      "Status": "modified",
-      "Additions": 15,
-      "Deletions": 8,
-      "Changes": 23
-    }
-  ],
-  "NewCommits": [
-    {
-      "Sha": "def456",
-      "Message": "Fix memory leak",
-      "Author": "John Doe",
-      "Date": "2025-11-07T10:30:00Z"
-    }
-  ],
-  "Summary": "Incremental review: 1 new commit(s), 1 file(s) changed since SHA abc123d"
-}
-```
-
-**Scenarios Handled:**
-- **No LastReviewedCommitSha**: Returns `NeedFullReview: true` (first review)
-- **SHA matches current HEAD**: Returns empty `ChangedFiles` (no changes)
-- **Force-push detected**: Returns `NeedFullReview: true` (SHA not in history)
-- **Incremental changes**: Returns list of changed files and new commits
-
-### Test-IncrementalReview.ps1
-
-Helper script to test and preview incremental review detection before running the full review.
-
-**Purpose:** Validate incremental review functionality and preview what changed.
-
-**Parameters:**
-- `PullRequestNumber` (required): Pull request number
-- `RepositoryOwner` (optional): Repository owner. Default: "microsoft"
-- `RepositoryName` (optional): Repository name. Default: "PowerToys"
-
-**Usage:**
-```powershell
-.\Test-IncrementalReview.ps1 -PullRequestNumber 42374
-```
-
-**Output:** Colored console output showing:
-- Current and last reviewed SHAs
-- Whether incremental review is possible
-- List of new commits and changed files
-- Recommended review strategy
-
-## Workflow Integration
-
-These scripts integrate with the PR review prompt (`.github/prompts/review-pr.prompt.md`).
-
-### Typical Review Flow
-
-1. **Initial Review (Iteration 1)**
-   - Review prompt processes the PR
-   - Creates `Generated Files/prReview/{PR}/00-OVERVIEW.md`
-   - Includes review metadata section with current HEAD SHA
-
-2. **Subsequent Reviews (Iteration 2+)**
-   - Review prompt reads `00-OVERVIEW.md` to get last reviewed SHA
-   - Calls `Get-PrIncrementalChanges.ps1` to detect what changed
-   - If incremental:
-     - Reviews only changed files
-     - Skips irrelevant review steps (e.g., skip Localization if no `.resx` files changed)
-   - Uses `Get-GitHubPrFilePatch.ps1` to get patches for changed files
-   - Updates `00-OVERVIEW.md` with new SHA and iteration number
-
-### Manual Testing Workflow
-
-Preview changes before review:
-```powershell
-# Check what changed in PR #42374 since last review
-.\Test-IncrementalReview.ps1 -PullRequestNumber 42374
-
-# Get incremental changes programmatically
-$changes = .\Get-PrIncrementalChanges.ps1 -PullRequestNumber 42374 -LastReviewedCommitSha "abc123" | ConvertFrom-Json
-
-if (-not $changes.NeedFullReview) {
-    Write-Host "Only need to review $($changes.ChangedFiles.Count) files"
-    
-    # Review each changed file
-    foreach ($file in $changes.ChangedFiles) {
-        Write-Host "Reviewing $($file.Filename)..."
-        .\Get-GitHubPrFilePatch.ps1 -PullRequestNumber 42374 -FilePath $file.Filename
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Error Handling and Troubleshooting
-
-### Common Requirements
-
-All scripts:
-- Exit with code 1 on error
-- Write detailed error messages to stderr
-- Require `gh` CLI to be installed and authenticated
-
-### Common Issues
-
-**Error: "gh not found"**
-- **Solution**: Install GitHub CLI from https://cli.github.com/ and run `gh auth login`
-
-**Error: "Failed to query GitHub API"**
-- **Solution**: Verify `gh` authentication with `gh auth status`
-- **Solution**: Check PR number exists and you have repository access
-
-**Error: "PR not found"**
-- **Solution**: Verify the PR number is correct and still exists
-- **Solution**: Ensure repository owner and name are correct
-
-**Error: "SHA not found" or "Force-push detected"**
-- **Explanation**: Last reviewed SHA no longer exists in branch history (force-push occurred)
-- **Solution**: A full review is required; incremental review not possible
-
-**Tests show "FAIL" but functionality works**
-- **Explanation**: Some tests may show exit code failures even when logic is correct
-- **Solution**: Check test output message - if it says "Correctly detected", functionality is working
-
-**Error: "Could not find insertion point"**
-- **Explanation**: Overview file doesn't have expected "**Changed files:**" line
-- **Solution**: Verify overview file format is correct or regenerate it
-
-### Verification Checklist
-
-After setup, verify:
-- [ ] `Run-ReviewToolsTests.ps1` shows 9+ tests passing
-- [ ] `Get-PrIncrementalChanges.ps1` returns valid JSON
-- [ ] `Test-IncrementalReview.ps1` analyzes a PR without errors
-- [ ] `Get-GitHubRawFile.ps1` downloads files correctly
-- [ ] `Get-GitHubPrFilePatch.ps1` retrieves patches correctly
-
-## Best Practices
-
-### For Review Authors
-
-1. **Test before full review**: Use `Test-IncrementalReview.ps1` to preview changes 
-2. **Check for force-push**: Review the analysis output - force-pushes require full reviews
-3. **Smart step filtering**: Skip review steps for file types that didn't change
-
-### For Script Users
-
-1. **Use absolute paths**: When specifying folders, use absolute paths to avoid ambiguity
-2. **Check exit codes**: Scripts exit with code 1 on error - check `$LASTEXITCODE` in automation
-3. **Parse JSON output**: Use `ConvertFrom-Json` to work with structured output from `Get-PrIncrementalChanges.ps1`
-4. **Handle empty results**: Check `ChangedFiles.Count` before iterating
-
-### Performance Tips
-
-1. **Batch operations**: When reviewing multiple PRs, collect all PR numbers and process in batch
-2. **Cache raw files**: Download baseline files once and reuse for multiple comparisons
-3. **Filter early**: Use incremental detection to skip unnecessary file reviews
-4. **Parallel processing**: Consider processing independent PRs in parallel
-
-## Integration with AI Review Systems
-
-These tools are designed to work with AI-powered review systems:
-
-1. **Copilot Instructions**: This file serves as reference documentation for GitHub Copilot
-2. **Structured Output**: JSON output from scripts is easily parsed by AI systems
-3. **Incremental Intelligence**: AI can focus on changed files for more efficient reviews
-4. **Metadata Tracking**: Review iterations are tracked for context-aware suggestions
-
-### Example AI Integration
-
-```powershell
-# Get incremental changes
-$analysis = .\Get-PrIncrementalChanges.ps1 -PullRequestNumber $PR | ConvertFrom-Json
-
-# Feed to AI review system
-$reviewPrompt = @"
-Review the following changed files in PR #$PR:
-$($analysis.ChangedFiles | ForEach-Object { "- $($_.Filename) ($($_.Status))" } | Out-String)
-
-Focus on incremental changes only. Previous review was at SHA $($analysis.LastReviewedSha).
-"@
-
-# Execute AI review with context
-Invoke-AIReview -Prompt $reviewPrompt -Files $analysis.ChangedFiles
-```
-
-## Support and Further Information
-
-For detailed script documentation, use PowerShell's help system:
-```powershell
-Get-Help .\Get-PrIncrementalChanges.ps1 -Full
-Get-Help .\Test-IncrementalReview.ps1 -Detailed
-```

-- Skip commits already in start tag
-- Skip cherry-picks and backports
-- Deduplicate by PR number
-
-👉 Details: [commit-filtering.md](sub-skills/commit-filtering.md)
-
-### Step 3: For Each PR, Generate Entry
-1. Get PR title, body, files, labels
-2. Determine module from file paths or labels
-3. Check if user-facing (skip internal changes)
-4. Transform to user-friendly description
-5. Add contributor attribution if needed
-
-👉 Details: [user-facing-description.md](sub-skills/user-facing-description.md), [module-mapping.md](sub-skills/module-mapping.md), [contributor-attribution.md](sub-skills/contributor-attribution.md)
-
-### Step 4: Checkpoint (if 50+ commits)
-- Save progress after every 15-20 commits
-- Track processed PRs for deduplication
-- Enable resume from interruption
-
-👉 Details: [progress-tracking.md](sub-skills/progress-tracking.md)
-
-### Step 5: Format Output
-```markdown
-## ✨ What's new

-# Commit Filtering Rules
-
-This sub-skill defines rules for filtering commits to include in the changelog.
-
-## Understanding the Branch Model
-
-PowerToys uses a release branch model where fixes are cherry-picked from main:
-
-```
-main:     A---B---C---D---E---F---G---H  (HEAD)
-               \
-release:        X---Y---Z  (v0.96.1 tag)
-                    ↑
-            (X, Y are cherry-picks of C, E from main)
-```
-
-**Key insight:** When comparing `v0.96.1...main`:
-- The release tag (v0.96.1) is on a **different branch** than main
-- GitHub compare finds the merge-base and returns commits on main after that point
-- Commits C and E appear in the results even though they were cherry-picked to release as X and Y
-- **The SHAs are different**, so SHA-based filtering won't work!
-
-## ⚠️ CRITICAL: Filter by PR Number, Not SHA
-
-Since cherry-picks have different SHAs, you **MUST** check by PR number:
-
-```powershell
-# Extract PR number from commit message and check if it exists in the release tag
-$prNumber = "43785"
-$startTag = "v0.96.1"
-
-# Search the release branch for this PR number in commit messages
-$cherryPicked = git log $startTag --oneline --grep="#$prNumber"
-if ($cherryPicked) {
-    Write-Host "SKIP: PR #$prNumber was cherry-picked to $startTag"
-} else {
-    Write-Host "INCLUDE: PR #$prNumber is new since $startTag"
-}
-```
-
-## Complete Filtering Workflow
-
-```powershell
-$startTag = "v0.96.1"   # Release tag (on release branch)
-$endRef = "main"         # Target (main branch)
-
-# Step 1: Get all commits from main since the merge-base with release tag
-$commits = gh api "repos/microsoft/PowerToys/compare/$startTag...$endRef" `
-    --jq '.commits[] | {sha: .sha, message: .commit.message}' | ConvertFrom-Json
-
-# Step 2: Build list of PR numbers already in the release tag
-$releasePRs = git log $startTag --oneline | Select-String -Pattern '#(\d+)' -AllMatches | 
-    ForEach-Object { $_.Matches.Groups[1].Value } | Sort-Object -Unique
-
-Write-Host "PRs already in $startTag : $($releasePRs.Count)"
-
-# Step 3: Filter commits - skip if PR was cherry-picked to release
-$newCommits = @()
-foreach ($commit in $commits) {
-    if ($commit.message -match '#(\d+)') {
-        $prNumber = $matches[1]
-        if ($releasePRs -contains $prNumber) {
-            Write-Host "SKIP: PR #$prNumber already in $startTag (cherry-picked)"
-            continue
-        }
-    }
-    $newCommits += $commit
-}
-
-Write-Host "New commits to process: $($newCommits.Count)"
-```
-
-## Why SHA-Based Methods Don't Work Here
-
-| Method | Works for same branch? | Works for cross-branch (cherry-picks)? |
-|--------|------------------------|----------------------------------------|
-| `git merge-base --is-ancestor` | ✅ Yes | ❌ No - different SHAs |
-| `git tag --contains` | ✅ Yes | ❌ No - tag is on different branch |
-| GitHub Compare API | ✅ Yes | ❌ No - returns commits by SHA |
-| **PR number matching** | ✅ Yes | ✅ **Yes** |
-
-## Skip Rules Summary
-
-| Priority | Condition | Action |
-|----------|-----------|--------|
-| 1 | PR number found in `git log $startTag --grep="#$prNumber"` | **SKIP** - cherry-picked |
-| 2 | Same PR number already processed in this run | **SKIP** - duplicate |
-| 3 | Bot author (dependabot, etc.) | **SKIP** - unless user-visible |
-| 4 | Internal-only change (CI, tests, refactor) | Move to **Development** section |
-
-## User-Facing vs Non-User-Facing
-
-**Include in changelog:**
-- New features and capabilities
-- Bug fixes that affect users
-- UI/UX improvements
-- Performance improvements users would notice
-- Breaking changes or behavior modifications
-- Security fixes
-
-**Exclude from changelog (put in Development section):**
-- Internal refactoring
-- CI/CD changes
-- Code style fixes
-- Test additions/modifications
-- Documentation-only changes
-- Dependency updates (unless user-visible impact)

-## Attribution Format
-
-**With attribution:**
-```markdown
- - The Awake countdown timer now stays accurate over long periods. Thanks [@daverayment](https://github.com/daverayment)!
-```
-
-**Without attribution (core team):**
-```markdown
- - Added new feature to Command Palette for opening settings.
-```
-
-## Special Cases
-
-1. **Co-authored commits**: Credit the primary author (first in list)
-2. **Bot accounts** (dependabot, etc.): No attribution
-3. **Former core team members**: Check if they were core team at time of PR
-4. **Multiple PRs by same external contributor**: Thank them on each entry
-
-## High-Impact Community Members
-
-These contributors have made significant ongoing contributions and are recognized in COMMUNITY.md.
-**ALWAYS thank these contributors** - they are NOT core team and deserve recognition:
-
-```
-@davidegiacometti, @htcfreek, @daverayment, @jiripolasek
-```
-
-Check COMMUNITY.md for the full up-to-date list under "High impact community members" section.

-# Progress Tracking for Large Changelogs
-
-This sub-skill provides the checkpoint mechanism for processing many commits without losing progress.
-
-## When to Use Progress Tracking
-
-- Processing 50+ commits
-- Long-running changelog generation
-- Risk of context overflow in AI conversations
-
-## Checkpoint Mechanism
-
-1. **Before starting**: Create a progress tracking file `release-notes-progress.md`
-2. **After each batch**: Append processed results to `release-change-note-draft.md`
-3. **Track position**: Record the last processed commit SHA in `release-notes-progress.md`
-
-## Progress File Template
-
-Create `release-notes-progress.md`:
-
-```markdown
-# Release Notes Generation Progress
-
-## Configuration
-- Start Tag: v0.96.0
-- End Tag: v0.96.1
-- Total Commits: 127
-- Batch Size: 20

-
-## Resuming from Checkpoint
-
-If interrupted, read `release-notes-progress.md` to find:
-1. Which batch was last completed
-2. The SHA of the last processed commit
-3. Which PRs have already been processed (for deduplication)
-
-Then continue from the next unprocessed commit:
-
-```powershell
-# Find where you left off
-$lastSha = "abc1234"  # from progress file
-$remainingShas = gh api repos/microsoft/PowerToys/compare/$lastSha...main --jq '.commits[].sha'
-```
-
-## Batch Size Recommendations
-
-| Total Commits | Recommended Batch Size |
-|---------------|------------------------|
-| < 30 | Process all at once |
-| 30-100 | 15-20 per batch |
-| 100-300 | 20 per batch |
-| 300+ | 25 per batch + parallel processing |
-
-## Deduplication
-
-Track processed PR numbers to avoid duplicates:
-- Same PR can appear multiple times (multiple commits)
-- Cherry-picks may reference same PR
-- Always check `Processed PRs` list before generating entry

-# Generating User-Facing Descriptions
-
-This sub-skill explains how to transform technical PR/commit info into user-friendly changelog entries.
-
-## Information Sources (Priority Order)
-
-1. **PR Title** - Often the best summary, already user-facing
-2. **PR Description/Body** - Look for "What does this PR do?" or summary sections
-3. **Commit Message** - First line is usually descriptive
-4. **Changed Files** - Infer the impact from what was modified
-5. **PR Labels** - Indicate type (bug, feature, enhancement)
-
-## Data Collection Command
-
-```powershell
-# Get all relevant info for a PR
-$prNumber = 12345
-$prData = gh pr view $prNumber --repo microsoft/PowerToys --json title,body,author,files,labels,mergedAt
-
-# Parse the data
-$pr = $prData | ConvertFrom-Json
-Write-Host "Title: $($pr.title)"
-Write-Host "Author: $($pr.author.login)"
-Write-Host "Labels: $($pr.labels.name -join ', ')"
-Write-Host "Files changed: $($pr.files.Count)"
-Write-Host "Body preview: $($pr.body.Substring(0, [Math]::Min(500, $pr.body.Length)))"
-```
-
-## Transformation Rules
-
-| Source Info | Transformation | Example Output |
-|-------------|----------------|----------------|
-| PR Title: "Fix null reference in FancyZones editor" | Describe the fix from user perspective | "Fixed a crash that could occur when editing zone layouts." |
-| PR Title: "Add support for XYZ format" | State the new capability | "Added support for XYZ format in File Explorer preview." |
-| PR Title: "[FancyZones] Refactor grid logic" | Check if user-visible; if not → Development section | (Development) "Refactored FancyZones grid logic for improved maintainability." |
-| PR with label "bug" | Frame as a fix | "Fixed an issue where..." |
-| PR with label "enhancement" | Frame as improvement | "Improved..." or "Enhanced..." |

-## Writing Style Guidelines
-
-**DO:**
-- Start with what changed or what users can now do
-- Use active voice: "Added...", "Fixed...", "Improved..."
-- Be specific about the benefit to users
-- Keep it concise (1-2 sentences max)
-- Include link to documentation if it's a new feature
-
-**DON'T:**
-- Use technical jargon users won't understand
-- Reference internal code names, file names, or class names
-- Say "Fixed bug" without explaining what was wrong
-- Include PR numbers in the description (they're tracked separately)
-
-## Example Transformations
-
-| Technical PR Title | User-Facing Description |
-|--------------------|------------------------|
-| "Fix NRE in FZEditor when zones is null" | "Fixed a crash that could occur when opening the FancyZones editor with no saved layouts." |
-| "Add ExifTool integration for PowerRename" | "PowerRename can now extract and use photo metadata (EXIF, XMP) in renaming patterns like `%Camera`, `%Lens`, and `%ExposureTime`." |
-| "Perf: Reduce memory allocation in PT Run" | "Improved PowerToys Run startup performance and reduced memory usage." |
-| "Update Newtonsoft.Json to 13.0.3" | (Development) "Updated Newtonsoft.Json dependency." OR skip if no user impact |
-| "Add unit tests for color picker" | SKIP - not user-facing |
-| "Fix typo in settings UI" | "Fixed a typo in the Settings interface." (only if visible to users) |
-
-## Context-Aware Description
-
-Sometimes you need to read the PR body or changed files to understand the impact:
-
-```powershell
-# If PR title is unclear, check the body for context
-$prBody = gh pr view 12345 --repo microsoft/PowerToys --json body --jq '.body'
-
-# Look for common patterns in PR descriptions:
-# - "## Summary" or "## Description"
-# - "This PR fixes/adds/improves..."
-# - "Before/After" comparisons
-# - Screenshots (indicate UI changes)
-
-# Check what files changed to understand scope
-$files = gh pr view 12345 --repo microsoft/PowerToys --json files --jq '.files[].path'
-# If mostly .xaml files → UI change
-# If mostly .cs/.cpp in one module → module-specific change
-# If in src/common/ → potentially affects multiple modules
-```
-
-## Handling Ambiguous PRs
-
-If a PR's impact is unclear:
-1. **Check the linked issue** - often has user-reported symptoms
-2. **Look at file changes** - understand what was modified
-3. **Check PR comments** - may have discussion about user impact
-4. **When in doubt** - put in Development section or ask for clarification
