+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.

+## Keyboard Manager
+
+UI Validation:
+
+  - [ ] In Remap keys, add and remove rows to validate those buttons. While the blank rows are present, pressing the OK button should result in a warning dialog that some mappings are invalid.
+  - [ ] Using only the Type buttons, for both the remap windows, try adding keys/shortcuts in all the columns. The right-side column in both windows should accept both keys and shortcuts, while the left-side column will accept only keys or only shortcuts for Remap keys and Remap shortcuts respectively. Validate that the Hold Enter and Esc accessibility features work as expected.
+  - [ ] Using the drop downs try to add key to key, key to shortcut, shortcut to key and shortcut to shortcut remapping and ensure that you are able to select remapping both by using mouse and by keyboard navigation.
+  - [ ] Validate that remapping can be saved by pressing the OK button and re-opening the windows loads existing remapping.
+
+Remapping Validation:
+
+For all the remapping below, try pressing and releasing the remapped key/shortcut and pressing and holding it. Try different behaviors like releasing the modifier key before the action key and vice versa.
+  - [ ] Test key to key remapping
+    - A->B
+    - Ctrl->A
+    - A->Ctrl
+    - Win->B (make sure Start menu doesn't appear accidentally)
+    - B->Win (make sure Start menu doesn't appear accidentally)
+    - A->Disable
+    - Win->Disable
+  - [ ] Test key to shortcut remapping
+    - A->Ctrl+V
+    - B->Win+A
+  - [ ] Test shortcut to shortcut remapping
+    - Ctrl+A->Ctrl+V
+    - Win+A->Ctrl+V
+    - Ctrl+V->Win+A
+    - Win+A->Win+F
+  - [ ] Test shortcut to key remapping
+    - Ctrl+A->B
+    - Ctrl+A->Win
+    - Win+A->B
+  * Test app-specific remaps
+    - [ ] Similar remaps to above with Edge, VSCode (entered as code) and cmd. For cmd try admin and non-admin (requires PT to run as admin)
+    - [ ] Try some cases where focus is lost due to the shortcut. Example remapping to Alt+Tab or Alt+F4
+  - [ ] Test switching between remapping while holding down modifiers - Eg. Ctrl+D->Ctrl+A and Ctrl+E->Ctrl+V, hold Ctrl and press D followed by E. Should select all and paste over it in a text editor. Similar steps for Windows key shortcuts.
+
+## PowerRename
+- [x] Check if disable and enable of the module works.
+- [x] Check that with the `Show icon on context menu` icon is shown and vice versa.
+- [x] Check if `Appear only in extended context menu` works.
+- [x] Enable/disable autocomplete.
+- [x] Enable/disable `Show values from last use`.
+* Select several files and folders and check PowerRename options:
+    - [x] Make Uppercase/Lowercase/Titlecase (could be selected only one at the time)
+    - [x] Exclude Folders/Files/Subfolder Items (could be selected several)
+    - [x] Item Name/Extension Only (one at the time)
+    - [x] Enumerate Items
+    - [x] Case Sensitive 
+    - [x] Match All Occurrences. If checked, all matches of text in the `Search` field will be replaced with the Replace text. Otherwise, only the first instance of the `Search` for text in the file name will be replaced (left to right).
+    * Use regular expressions
+        - [x] Search with an expression (e.g. `(.*).png`)
+        - [x] Replace with an expression (e.g. `foo_$1.png`)
+        - [x] Replace using file creation date and time (e.g. $hh-$mm-$ss-$fff $DD_$MMMM_$YYYY)
+        - [x] Turn on `Use Boost library` and test with Perl Regular Expression Syntax.
+    * File list filters. 
+        - [x] In the `preview` window uncheck some items to exclude them from renaming. 
+        - [x] Click on the `Renamed` column to filter results. 
+        - [x] Click on the `Original` column to cycle between checked and unchecked items.

Validate that the Hold Enter and Esc accessibility features work as expected.
+  - [X] Using the drop downs try to add key to key, key to shortcut, shortcut to key and shortcut to shortcut remapping and ensure that you are able to select remapping both by using mouse and by keyboard navigation.
+  - [X] Validate that remapping can be saved by pressing the OK button and re-opening the windows loads existing remapping.
+
+Remapping Validation:
+
+For all the remapping below, try pressing and releasing the remapped key/shortcut and pressing and holding it. Try different behaviors like releasing the modifier key before the action key and vice versa.
+  - [X] Test key to key remapping
+    - A->B
+    - Ctrl->A
+    - A->Ctrl
+    - Win->B (make sure Start menu doesn't appear accidentally)
+    - B->Win (make sure Start menu doesn't appear accidentally)

+  - [X] Test shortcut to key remapping
+    - Ctrl+A->B
+    - Ctrl+A->Win
+    - Win+A->B
+  * Test app-specific remaps
+    - [X] Similar remaps to above with Edge, VSCode (entered as code) and cmd. For cmd try admin and non-admin (requires PT to run as admin)
+    - [X] Try some cases where focus is lost due to the shortcut. Example remapping to Alt+Tab or Alt+F4
+  - [X] Test switching between remapping while holding down modifiers - Eg. Ctrl+D->Ctrl+A and Ctrl+E->Ctrl+V, hold Ctrl and press D followed by E. Should select all and paste over it in a text editor. Similar steps for Windows key shortcuts.

+## Keyboard Manager
+
+UI Validation:
+
+  - [ ] In Remap keys, add and remove rows to validate those buttons. While the blank rows are present, pressing the OK button should result in a warning dialog that some mappings are invalid.
+  - [ ] Using only the Type buttons, for both the remap windows, try adding keys/shortcuts in all the columns. The right-side column in both windows should accept both keys and shortcuts, while the left-side column will accept only keys or only shortcuts for Remap keys and Remap shortcuts respectively. Validate that the Hold Enter and Esc accessibility features work as expected.
+  - [ ] Using the drop downs try to add key to key, key to shortcut, shortcut to key and shortcut to shortcut remapping and ensure that you are able to select remapping both by using mouse and by keyboard navigation.
+  - [ ] Validate that remapping can be saved by pressing the OK button and re-opening the windows loads existing remapping.
+
+Remapping Validation:
+
+For all the remapping below, try pressing and releasing the remapped key/shortcut and pressing and holding it. Try different behaviors like releasing the modifier key before the action key and vice versa.
+  - [ ] Test key to key remapping
+    - A->B
+    - Ctrl->A
+    - A->Ctrl
+    - Win->B (make sure Start menu doesn't appear accidentally)
+    - B->Win (make sure Start menu doesn't appear accidentally)
+    - A->Disable
+    - Win->Disable
+  - [ ] Test key to shortcut remapping
+    - A->Ctrl+V
+    - B->Win+A
+  - [ ] Test shortcut to shortcut remapping
+    - Ctrl+A->Ctrl+V
+    - Win+A->Ctrl+V
+    - Ctrl+V->Win+A
+    - Win+A->Win+F
+  - [ ] Test shortcut to key remapping
+    - Ctrl+A->B
+    - Ctrl+A->Win
+    - Win+A->B
+  * Test app-specific remaps
+    - [ ] Similar remaps to above with Edge (entered as `msedge`), VSCode (entered as `code`) and cmd. For cmd try admin and non-admin (requires PT to run as admin)
+    - [ ] Try some cases where focus is lost due to the shortcut. Example remapping to Alt+Tab or Alt+F4
+  - [ ] Test switching between remapping while holding down modifiers - Eg. Ctrl+D->Ctrl+A and Ctrl+E->Ctrl+V, hold Ctrl and press D followed by E. Should select all and paste over it in a text editor. Similar steps for Windows key shortcuts.
+
+## PowerRename

+    - [ ] Exclude Folders/Files/Subfolder Items (could be selected several)
+    - [ ] Item Name/Extension Only (one at the time)
+    - [ ] Enumerate Items
+    - [ ] Case Sensitive
+    - [ ] Match All Occurrences. If checked, all matches of text in the `Search` field will be replaced with the Replace text. Otherwise, only the first instance of the `Search` for text in the file name will be replaced (left to right).
+    * Use regular expressions
+        - [ ] Search with an expression (e.g. `(.*).png`)
+        - [ ] Replace with an expression (e.g. `foo_$1.png`)
+        - [ ] Replace using file creation date and time (e.g. `$hh-$mm-$ss-$fff` `$DD_$MMMM_$YYYY`)
+        - [ ] Turn on `Use Boost library` and test with Perl Regular Expression Syntax (e.g. `(?<=t)est`)
+    * File list filters.
+        - [ ] In the `preview` window uncheck some items to exclude them from renaming.
+        - [ ] Click on the `Renamed` column to filter results.
+        - [ ] Click on the `Original` column to cycle between checked and unchecked items.

+## Keyboard Manager
+
+UI Validation:
+
+  - [x] In Remap keys, add and remove rows to validate those buttons. While the blank rows are present, pressing the OK button should result in a warning dialog that some mappings are invalid.
+  - [x] Using only the Type buttons, for both the remap windows, try adding keys/shortcuts in all the columns.

Validate that the Hold Enter and Esc accessibility features work as expected.
+  - [x] Using the drop downs try to add key to key, key to shortcut, shortcut to key and shortcut to shortcut remapping and ensure that you are able to select remapping both by using mouse and by keyboard navigation.
+  - [x] Validate that remapping can be saved by pressing the OK button and re-opening the windows loads existing remapping.
+
+Remapping Validation:
+
+For all the remapping below, try pressing and releasing the remapped key/shortcut and pressing and holding it. Try different behaviors like releasing the modifier key before the action key and vice versa.
+  - [x] Test key to key remapping
+    - A->B
+    - Ctrl->A
+    - A->Ctrl
+    - Win->B (make sure Start menu doesn't appear accidentally)
+    - B->Win (make sure Start menu doesn't appear accidentally)

+    - Ctrl+A->Ctrl+V
+    - Win+A->Ctrl+V
+    - Ctrl+V->Win+A
+    - Win+A->Win+F
+  - [x] Test shortcut to key remapping
+    - Ctrl+A->B
+    - Ctrl+A->Win
+    - Win+A->B
+  * Test app-specific remaps
+    - [x] Similar remaps to above with Edge (entered as `msedge`), VSCode (entered as `code`) and cmd. For cmd try admin and non-admin (requires PT to run as admin)
+    - [x] Try some cases where focus is lost due to the shortcut. Example remapping to Alt+Tab or Alt+F4
+  - [x] Test switching between remapping while holding down modifiers - Eg. Ctrl+D->Ctrl+A and Ctrl+E->Ctrl+V, hold Ctrl and press D followed by E. Should select all and paste over it in a text editor. Similar steps for Windows key shortcuts.

+
+## Keyboard Manager
+
+UI Validation:
+
+  - [ ] In Remap keys, add and remove rows to validate those buttons. While the blank rows are present, pressing the OK button should result in a warning dialog that some mappings are invalid.
+  - [ ] Using only the Type buttons, for both the remap windows, try adding keys/shortcuts in all the columns. The right-side column in both windows should accept both keys and shortcuts, while the left-side column will accept only keys or only shortcuts for Remap keys and Remap shortcuts respectively. Validate that the Hold Enter and Esc accessibility features work as expected.
+  - [ ] Using the drop downs try to add key to key, key to shortcut, shortcut to key and shortcut to shortcut remapping and ensure that you are able to select remapping both by using mouse and by keyboard navigation.
+  - [ ] Validate that remapping can be saved by pressing the OK button and re-opening the windows loads existing remapping.
+
+Remapping Validation:
+
+For all the remapping below, try pressing and releasing the remapped key/shortcut and pressing and holding it. Try different behaviors like releasing the modifier key before the action key and vice versa.
+  - [ ] Test key to key remapping
+    - A->B
+    - Ctrl->A
+    - A->Ctrl
+    - Win->B (make sure Start menu doesn't appear accidentally)
+    - B->Win (make sure Start menu doesn't appear accidentally)
+    - A->Disable
+    - Win->Disable
+  - [ ] Test key to shortcut remapping
+    - A->Ctrl+V
+    - B->Win+A
+  - [ ] Test shortcut to shortcut remapping
+    - Ctrl+A->Ctrl+V
+    - Win+A->Ctrl+V
+    - Ctrl+V->Win+A
+    - Win+A->Win+F
+  - [ ] Test shortcut to key remapping
+    - Ctrl+A->B
+    - Ctrl+A->Win
+    - Win+A->B
+  * Test app-specific remaps
+    - [ ] Similar remaps to above with Edge (entered as `msedge`), VSCode (entered as `code`) and cmd. For cmd try admin and non-admin (requires PT to run as admin)
+    - [ ] Try some cases where focus is lost due to the shortcut. Example remapping to Alt+Tab or Alt+F4
+  - [ ] Test switching between remapping while holding down modifiers - Eg. Ctrl+D->Ctrl+A and Ctrl+E->Ctrl+V, hold Ctrl and press D followed by E. Should select all and paste over it in a text editor. Similar steps for Windows key shortcuts.
+
+## Awake
+ - [ ] Try out the features and see if they work, no list at this time.

+## Keyboard Manager
+
+UI Validation:
+
+  - [ ] In Remap keys, add and remove rows to validate those buttons. While the blank rows are present, pressing the OK button should result in a warning dialog that some mappings are invalid.
+  - [ ] Using only the Type buttons, for both the remap windows, try adding keys/shortcuts in all the columns. The right-side column in both windows should accept both keys and shortcuts, while the left-side column will accept only keys or only shortcuts for Remap keys and Remap shortcuts respectively. Validate that the Hold Enter and Esc accessibility features work as expected.
+  - [ ] Using the drop downs try to add key to key, key to shortcut, shortcut to key and shortcut to shortcut remapping and ensure that you are able to select remapping both by using mouse and by keyboard navigation.
+  - [ ] Validate that remapping can be saved by pressing the OK button and re-opening the windows loads existing remapping.
+
+Remapping Validation:
+
+For all the remapping below, try pressing and releasing the remapped key/shortcut and pressing and holding it. Try different behaviors like releasing the modifier key before the action key and vice versa.
+  - [ ] Test key to key remapping
+    - A->B
+    - Ctrl->A
+    - A->Ctrl
+    - Win->B (make sure Start menu doesn't appear accidentally)
+    - B->Win (make sure Start menu doesn't appear accidentally)
+    - A->Disable
+    - Win->Disable
+  - [ ] Test key to shortcut remapping
+    - A->Ctrl+V
+    - B->Win+A
+  - [ ] Test shortcut to shortcut remapping
+    - Ctrl+A->Ctrl+V
+    - Win+A->Ctrl+V
+    - Ctrl+V->Win+A
+    - Win+A->Win+F
+  - [ ] Test shortcut to key remapping
+    - Ctrl+A->B
+    - Ctrl+A->Win
+    - Win+A->B
+  * Test app-specific remaps
+    - [ ] Similar remaps to above with Edge (entered as `msedge`), VSCode (entered as `code`) and cmd. For cmd try admin and non-admin (requires PT to run as admin)
+    - [ ] Try some cases where focus is lost due to the shortcut. Example remapping to Alt+Tab or Alt+F4
+  - [ ] Test switching between remapping while holding down modifiers - Eg. Ctrl+D->Ctrl+A and Ctrl+E->Ctrl+V, hold Ctrl and press D followed by E. Should select all and paste over it in a text editor. Similar steps for Windows key shortcuts.
