+
+# FixIssue Agent
+
+You are an **IMPLEMENTATION AGENT** specialized in executing implementation plans to fix GitHub issues.
+
+## Identity & Expertise
+
+- Expert at translating plans into working code
+- Deep knowledge of PowerToys codebase patterns and conventions
+- Skilled at writing tests, handling edge cases, and validating builds
+- You follow plans precisely while handling ambiguity gracefully
+
+## Goal
+
+For the given **issue_number**, execute the implementation plan and produce:
+1. Working code changes applied directly to the repository
+2. `Generated Files/issueFix/{{issue_number}}/pr-description.md` — PR-ready description
+3. `Generated Files/issueFix/{{issue_number}}/manual-steps.md` — Only if human action needed
+
+## Core Directive
+
+**Follow the implementation plan in `Generated Files/issueReview/{{issue_number}}/implementation-plan.md` as the single source of truth.**
+
+If the plan doesn't exist, invoke PlanIssue agent first via `runSubagent`.
+
+## Working Principles
+
+- **Plan First**: Read and understand the entire implementation plan before coding
+- **Validate Always**: For each change: Edit → Build → Verify → Commit. Never proceed if build fails.
+- **Atomic Commits**: Each commit must be self-contained, buildable, and meaningful
+- **Ask, Don't Guess**: When uncertain, insert `// TODO(Human input needed): <question>` and document in manual-steps.md
+
+## Strategy
+
+**Core Loop** — For every unit of work:
+1. **Edit**: Make focused changes to implement one logical piece
+2. **Build**: Run `tools\build\build.cmd` and check for exit code 0
+3. **Verify**: Use `problems` tool for lint/compile errors; run relevant tests
+4. **Commit**: Only after build passes — use `.github/prompts/create-commit-title.prompt.md`
+
+Never skip steps. Never commit broken code. Never proceed if build fails.
+
+**Feature-by-Feature E2E**: For big scenarios with multiple features, complete each feature end-to-end before moving to the next:
+- Settings UI → Functionality → Logging → Tests (for Feature 1)
+- Then repeat for Feature 2
+- Benefits: Each feature is self-contained, testable, easier to review, can ship incrementally
+
+**Large Changes** (3+ files or cross-module):
+- Use `tools\build\New-WorktreeFromBranch.ps1` for isolated worktrees
+- Create separate branches per feature (e.g., `issue/{{issue_number}}-export`, `issue/{{issue_number}}-import`)
+- Merge feature branches back after each is validated
+
+**Recovery**: If implementation goes wrong:
+- Create a checkpoint branch before risky changes
+- On failure: branch from last known-good state, cherry-pick working changes, abandon broken branch
+- For complex changes, consider multiple smaller PRs
+
+## Guidelines
+
+**DO**:
+- Follow the plan exactly
+- Validate build before every commit — **NEVER commit broken code**
+- Use `.github/prompts/create-commit-title.prompt.md` for commit messages
+- Add comprehensive tests for changed behavior
+- Use worktrees for large changes (3+ files or cross-module)
+- Document deviations from plan
+
+**DON'T**:
+- Implement everything in a single massive commit
+- Continue after a failed build without fixing
+- Make drive-by refactors outside issue scope
+- Skip tests for behavioral changes
+- Add noisy logs in hot paths
+- Break IPC/JSON contracts without updating both sides
+- Introduce dependencies without documenting in NOTICE.md

+# PlanIssue Agent
+
+You are a **PLANNING AGENT** specialized in analyzing GitHub issues and producing comprehensive planning documentation.
+
+## Identity & Expertise
+
+- Expert at issue triage, priority scoring, and technical analysis
+- Deep knowledge of PowerToys architecture and codebase patterns
+- Skilled at breaking down problems into actionable implementation steps
+- You research thoroughly before planning, gathering 80% confidence before drafting
+
+## Goal
+
+For the given **issue_number**, produce two deliverables:
+1. `Generated Files/issueReview/{{issue_number}}/overview.md` — Issue analysis with scoring
+2. `Generated Files/issueReview/{{issue_number}}/implementation-plan.md` — Technical implementation plan
+Above is the core interaction with the end user. If you cannot produce the files above, you fail the task. Each time, you must check whether the files exist or have been modified by the end user, without assuming you know their contents.
+
+## Core Directive
+
+**Follow the template in `.github/prompts/review-issue.prompt.md` exactly.** Read it first, then apply every section as specified.
+
+<stopping_rules>
+You are a PLANNING agent, NOT an implementation agent.
+
+STOP if you catch yourself:
+- Writing actual code or making file edits
+- Switching to implementation mode
+- Using edit tools on source files
+
+Plans describe what the USER or FixIssue agent will execute later.
+</stopping_rules>
+
+## Working Principles
+
+- **Research First**: Gather comprehensive context before drafting any plan
+- **Score Objectively**: Rate importance, feasibility, and clarity to prioritize effectively
+- **Prefer Existing Patterns**: Choose solutions that match existing repo conventions
+- **Draft for Review**: Present plans to user for feedback before finalizing
+
+## Guidelines
+
+**DO**:
+- Fetch issue details including reactions, comments, and linked PRs
+- Search related code and find similar past fixes
+- Ask clarifying questions when requirements are ambiguous
+- Identify subject matter experts via git history
+- Offer handoffs when plan is ready
+
+**DON'T**:
+- Implement anything — you only plan
+- Edit source files
+- Make assumptions without researching
+- Skip the scoring/assessment phase

+
+# Agent Skills File Guidelines
+
+Instructions for creating effective and portable Agent Skills that enhance GitHub Copilot with specialized capabilities, workflows, and bundled resources.
+
+## What Are Agent Skills?
+
+Agent Skills are self-contained folders with instructions and bundled resources that teach AI agents specialized capabilities. Unlike custom instructions (which define coding standards), skills enable task-specific workflows that can include scripts, examples, templates, and reference data.
+
+Key characteristics:
+- **Portable**: Works across VS Code, Copilot CLI, and Copilot coding agent
+- **Progressive loading**: Only loaded when relevant to the user's request
+- **Resource-bundled**: Can include scripts, templates, examples alongside instructions
+- **On-demand**: Activated automatically based on prompt relevance
+
+## Directory Structure
+
+Skills are stored in specific locations:
+
+| Location | Scope | Recommendation |
+|----------|-------|----------------|
+| `.github/skills/<skill-name>/` | Project/repository | Recommended for project skills |
+| `.claude/skills/<skill-name>/` | Project/repository | Legacy, for backward compatibility |
+| `~/.github/skills/<skill-name>/` | Personal (user-wide) | Recommended for personal skills |
+| `~/.claude/skills/<skill-name>/` | Personal (user-wide) | Legacy, for backward compatibility |
+
+Each skill **must** have its own subdirectory containing at minimum a `SKILL.md` file.
+
+## Required SKILL.md Format
+
+### Frontmatter (Required)
+
+```yaml
+---
+name: webapp-testing
+description: Toolkit for testing local web applications using Playwright. Use when asked to verify frontend functionality, debug UI behavior, capture browser screenshots, check for visual regressions, or view browser console logs. Supports Chrome, Firefox, and WebKit browsers.
+license: Complete terms in LICENSE.txt
+---
+```
+
+| Field | Required | Constraints |
+|-------|----------|-------------|
+| `name` | Yes | Lowercase, hyphens for spaces, max 64 characters (e.g., `webapp-testing`) |
+| `description` | Yes | Clear description of capabilities AND use cases, max 1024 characters |
+| `license` | No | Reference to LICENSE.txt (e.g., `Complete terms in LICENSE.txt`) or SPDX identifier |
+
+### Description Best Practices
+
+**CRITICAL**: The `description` field is the PRIMARY mechanism for automatic skill discovery. Copilot reads ONLY the `name` and `description` to decide whether to load a skill. If your description is vague, the skill will never be activated.
+
+**What to include in description:**
+1. **WHAT** the skill does (capabilities)
+2. **WHEN** to use it (specific triggers, scenarios, file types, or user requests)
+3. **Keywords** that users might mention in their prompts
+
+**Good description:**
+```yaml
+description: Toolkit for testing local web applications using Playwright. Use when asked to verify frontend functionality, debug UI behavior, capture browser screenshots, check for visual regressions, or view browser console logs. Supports Chrome, Firefox, and WebKit browsers.
+```
+
+**Poor description:**
+```yaml
+description: Web testing helpers
+```
+
+The poor description fails because:
+- No specific triggers (when should Copilot load this?)
+- No keywords (what user prompts would match?)
+- No capabilities (what can it actually do?)
+
+### Body Content
+
+The body contains detailed instructions that Copilot loads AFTER the skill is activated. Recommended sections:
+
+| Section | Purpose |
+|---------|---------|
+| `# Title` | Brief overview of what this skill enables |
+| `## When to Use This Skill` | List of scenarios (reinforces description triggers) |
+| `## Prerequisites` | Required tools, dependencies, environment setup |
+| `## Step-by-Step Workflows` | Numbered steps for common tasks |
+| `## Troubleshooting` | Common issues and solutions table |
+| `## References` | Links to bundled docs or external resources |
+
+## Bundling Resources
+
+Skills can include additional files that Copilot accesses on-demand:
+
+### Supported Resource Types
+
+| Folder | Purpose | Loaded into Context? | Example Files |
+|--------|---------|---------------------|---------------|
+| `scripts/` | Executable automation that performs specific operations | When executed | `helper.py`, `validate.sh`, `build.ts` |
+| `references/` | Documentation the AI agent reads to inform decisions | Yes, when referenced | `api_reference.md`, `schema.md`, `workflow_guide.md` |
+| `assets/` | **Static files used AS-IS** in output (not modified by the AI agent) | No | `logo.png`, `brand-template.pptx`, `custom-font.ttf` |
+| `templates/` | **Starter code/scaffolds that the AI agent MODIFIES** and builds upon | Yes, when referenced | `viewer.html` (insert algorithm), `hello-world/` (extend) |
+
+### Directory Structure Example
+
+```
+.github/skills/my-skill/
+├── SKILL.md              # Required: Main instructions
+├── LICENSE.txt           # Recommended: License terms (Apache 2.0 typical)

+│   ├── helper.py         # Python script

+└── templates/            # Optional: Starter code the AI agent modifies
+    ├── scaffold.py       # Code scaffold the AI agent customizes
+    └── config.template   # Config template the AI agent fills in
+```
+
+> **LICENSE.txt**: When creating a skill, download the Apache 2.0 license text from https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.txt and save as `LICENSE.txt`. Update the copyright year and owner in the appendix section.
+
+### Assets vs Templates: Key Distinction
+
+**Assets** are static resources **consumed unchanged** in the output:
+- A `logo.png` that gets embedded into a generated document
+- A `report-template.html` copied as output format
+- A `custom-font.ttf` applied to text rendering
+
+**Templates** are starter code/scaffolds that **the AI agent actively modifies**:
+- A `scaffold.py` where the AI agent inserts logic
+- A `config.template` where the AI agent fills in values based on user requirements
+- A `hello-world/` project directory that the AI agent extends with new features
+
+**Rule of thumb**: If the AI agent reads and builds upon the file content → `templates/`. If the file is used as-is in output → `assets/`.
+
+### Referencing Resources in SKILL.md
+
+Use relative paths to reference files within the skill directory:
+
+```markdown
+## Available Scripts
+
+Run the [helper script](./scripts/helper.py) to automate common tasks.
+
+See [API reference](./references/api_reference.md) for detailed documentation.
+
+Use the [scaffold](./templates/scaffold.py) as a starting point.
+```
+
+## Progressive Loading Architecture
+
+Skills use three-level loading for efficiency:
+
+| Level | What Loads | When |
+|-------|------------|------|
+| 1. Discovery | `name` and `description` only | Always (lightweight metadata) |
+| 2. Instructions | Full `SKILL.md` body | When request matches description |
+| 3. Resources | Scripts, examples, docs | Only when Copilot references them |
+
+This means:
+- Install many skills without consuming context
+- Only relevant content loads per task
+- Resources don't load until explicitly needed
+
+## Content Guidelines
+
+### Writing Style
+
+- Use imperative mood: "Run", "Create", "Configure" (not "You should run")
+- Be specific and actionable
+- Include exact commands with parameters
+- Show expected outputs where helpful
+- Keep sections focused and scannable
+
+### Script Requirements
+
+When including scripts, prefer cross-platform languages:
+
+| Language | Use Case |
+|----------|----------|
+| Python | Complex automation, data processing |
+| pwsh | PowerShell Core scripting |
+| Node.js | JavaScript-based tooling |
+| Bash/Shell | Simple automation tasks |
+
+Best practices:
+- Include help/usage documentation (`--help` flag)
+- Handle errors gracefully with clear messages
+- Avoid storing credentials or secrets
+- Use relative paths where possible
+
+### When to Bundle Scripts
+
+Include scripts in your skill when:
+- The same code would be rewritten repeatedly by the agent
+- Deterministic reliability is critical (e.g., file manipulation, API calls)
+- Complex logic benefits from being pre-tested rather than generated each time
+- The operation has a self-contained purpose that can evolve independently
+- Testability matters — scripts can be unit tested and validated
+- Predictable behavior is preferred over dynamic generation
+
+Scripts enable evolution: even simple operations benefit from being implemented as scripts when they may grow in complexity, need consistent behavior across invocations, or require future extensibility.
+
+### Security Considerations
+
+- Scripts rely on existing credential helpers (no credential storage)
+- Include `--force` flags only for destructive operations
+- Warn users before irreversible actions
+- Document any network operations or external calls
+
+## Common Patterns
+
+### Parameter Table Pattern
+
+Document parameters clearly:
+
+```markdown
+| Parameter | Required | Default | Description |
+|-----------|----------|---------|-------------|
+| `--input` | Yes | - | Input file or URL to process |
+| `--action` | Yes | - | Action to perform |
+| `--verbose` | No | `false` | Enable verbose output |
+```
+
+## Validation Checklist
+
+Before publishing a skill:
+
+- [ ] `SKILL.md` has valid frontmatter with `name` and `description`
+- [ ] `name` is lowercase with hyphens, ≤64 characters
+- [ ] `description` clearly states **WHAT** it does, **WHEN** to use it, and relevant **KEYWORDS**
+- [ ] Body includes when to use, prerequisites, and step-by-step workflows
+- [ ] SKILL.md body kept under 500 lines (split large content into `references/` folder)
+- [ ] Large workflows (>5 steps) split into `references/` folder with clear links from SKILL.md
+- [ ] Scripts include help documentation and error handling
+- [ ] Relative paths used for all resource references
+- [ ] No hardcoded credentials or secrets
+
+## Workflow Execution Pattern
+
+When executing multi-step workflows, create a TODO list where each step references the relevant documentation:
+
+```markdown
+## TODO
+- [ ] Step 1: Configure environment - see [workflow-setup.md](./references/workflow-setup.md#environment)
+- [ ] Step 2: Build project - see [workflow-setup.md](./references/workflow-setup.md#build)
+- [ ] Step 3: Deploy to staging - see [workflow-deployment.md](./references/workflow-deployment.md#staging)
+- [ ] Step 4: Run validation - see [workflow-deployment.md](./references/workflow-deployment.md#validation)
+- [ ] Step 5: Deploy to production - see [workflow-deployment.md](./references/workflow-deployment.md#production)
+```
+
+This ensures traceability and allows resuming workflows if interrupted.

+description: 'Instructions for building Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers using the TypeScript SDK'
+applyTo: '**/*.ts, **/*.js, **/package.json'
+---
+
+# TypeScript MCP Server Development
+
+## Instructions
+
+- Use the **@modelcontextprotocol/sdk** npm package: `npm install @modelcontextprotocol/sdk`
+- Import from specific paths: `@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/mcp.js`, `@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/stdio.js`, etc.
+- Use `McpServer` class for high-level server implementation with automatic protocol handling
+- Use `Server` class for low-level control with manual request handlers
+- Use **zod** for input/output schema validation: `npm install zod@3`
+- Always provide `title` field for tools, resources, and prompts for better UI display
+- Use `registerTool()`, `registerResource()`, and `registerPrompt()` methods (recommended over older APIs)
+- Define schemas using zod: `{ inputSchema: { param: z.string() }, outputSchema: { result: z.string() } }`
+- Return both `content` (for display) and `structuredContent` (for structured data) from tools
+- For HTTP servers, use `StreamableHTTPServerTransport` with Express or similar frameworks
+- For local integrations, use `StdioServerTransport` for stdio-based communication
+- Create new transport instances per request to prevent request ID collisions (stateless mode)
+- Use session management with `sessionIdGenerator` for stateful servers
+- Enable DNS rebinding protection for local servers: `enableDnsRebindingProtection: true`
+- Configure CORS headers and expose `Mcp-Session-Id` for browser-based clients
+- Use `ResourceTemplate` for dynamic resources with URI parameters: `new ResourceTemplate('resource://{param}', { list: undefined })`
+- Support completions for better UX using `completable()` wrapper from `@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/completable.js`
+- Implement sampling with `server.server.createMessage()` to request LLM completions from clients
+- Use `server.server.elicitInput()` to request additional user input during tool execution
+- Enable notification debouncing for bulk updates: `debouncedNotificationMethods: ['notifications/tools/list_changed']`
+- Dynamic updates: call `.enable()`, `.disable()`, `.update()`, or `.remove()` on registered items to emit `listChanged` notifications
+- Use `getDisplayName()` from `@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/shared/metadataUtils.js` for UI display names
+- Test servers with MCP Inspector: `npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector`
+
+## Best Practices
+
+- Keep tool implementations focused on single responsibilities
+- Provide clear, descriptive titles and descriptions for LLM understanding
+- Use proper TypeScript types for all parameters and return values
+- Implement comprehensive error handling with try-catch blocks
+- Return `isError: true` in tool results for error conditions
+- Use async/await for all asynchronous operations
+- Close database connections and clean up resources properly
+- Validate input parameters before processing
+- Use structured logging for debugging without polluting stdout/stderr
+- Consider security implications when exposing file system or network access
+- Implement proper resource cleanup on transport close events
+- Use environment variables for configuration (ports, API keys, etc.)
+- Document tool capabilities and limitations clearly
+- Test with multiple clients to ensure compatibility
+
+## Common Patterns
+
+### Basic Server Setup (HTTP)
+```typescript
+import { McpServer } from '@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/mcp.js';
+import { StreamableHTTPServerTransport } from '@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/streamableHttp.js';
+import express from 'express';
+
+const server = new McpServer({
+    name: 'my-server',
+    version: '1.0.0'
+});
+
+const app = express();
+app.use(express.json());
+
+app.post('/mcp', async (req, res) => {
+    const transport = new StreamableHTTPServerTransport({
+        sessionIdGenerator: undefined,
+        enableJsonResponse: true
+    });
+    
+    res.on('close', () => transport.close());
+    
+    await server.connect(transport);
+    await transport.handleRequest(req, res, req.body);
+});
+
+app.listen(3000);
+```
+
+### Basic Server Setup (stdio)
+```typescript
+import { McpServer } from '@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/mcp.js';
+import { StdioServerTransport } from '@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/stdio.js';
+
+const server = new McpServer({
+    name: 'my-server',
+    version: '1.0.0'
+});
+
+// ... register tools, resources, prompts ...
+
+const transport = new StdioServerTransport();
+await server.connect(transport);
+```
+
+### Simple Tool
+```typescript
+import { z } from 'zod';
+
+server.registerTool(
+    'calculate',
+    {
+        title: 'Calculator',
+        description: 'Perform basic calculations',
+        inputSchema: { a: z.number(), b: z.number(), op: z.enum(['+', '-', '*', '/']) },
+        outputSchema: { result: z.number() }
+    },
+    async ({ a, b, op }) => {
+        const result = op === '+' ? a + b : op === '-' ? a - b : 
+                      op === '*' ? a * b : a / b;
+        const output = { result };
+        return {
+            content: [{ type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify(output) }],
+            structuredContent: output
+        };
+    }
+);
+```
+
+### Dynamic Resource
+```typescript
+import { ResourceTemplate } from '@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/mcp.js';
+
+server.registerResource(
+    'user',
+    new ResourceTemplate('users://{userId}', { list: undefined }),
+    {
+        title: 'User Profile',
+        description: 'Fetch user profile data'
+    },
+    async (uri, { userId }) => ({
+        contents: [{
+            uri: uri.href,
+            text: `User ${userId} data here`
+        }]
+    })
+);
+```
+
+### Tool with Sampling
+```typescript
+server.registerTool(
+    'summarize',
+    {
+        title: 'Text Summarizer',
+        description: 'Summarize text using LLM',
+        inputSchema: { text: z.string() },
+        outputSchema: { summary: z.string() }
+    },

 # Generate Commit Title

-**Goal:** Provide a ready-to-paste git commit title (<= 80 characters) that captures the most important local changes since `HEAD`.
+## Purpose
+Provide a single-line, ready-to-paste git commit title (<= 80 characters) that reflects 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`.
+## Input to collect
+- Run exactly one command to view the local diff:
+  ```@terminal
+  git diff HEAD
+  ```
+
+## How to decide the title
+1. From the diff, find the dominant area (e.g., `src/modules/*`, `doc/devdocs/**`) and the change type (bug fix, docs update, config tweak).
+2. Draft an imperative, plain-ASCII title that:
+   - Mentions the primary component when obvious (e.g., `FancyZones:` or `Docs:`)
+   - Stays within 80 characters and has no trailing punctuation
+
+## Final output
+- Reply with only the commit title on a single line—no extra text.
+
+## PR title convention (when asked)
+Use Conventional Commits style:
+
+`<type>(<scope>): <summary>`
+
+**Allowed types**
+- feat, fix, docs, refactor, perf, test, build, ci, chore
+
+**Scope rules**
+- Use a short, PowerToys-focused scope (one word preferred). Common scopes:
+  - Core: `runner`, `settings-ui`, `common`, `docs`, `build`, `ci`, `installer`, `gpo`, `dsc`
+  - Modules: `fancyzones`, `powerrename`, `awake`, `colorpicker`, `imageresizer`, `keyboardmanager`, `mouseutils`, `peek`, `hosts`, `file-locksmith`, `screen-ruler`, `text-extractor`, `cropandlock`, `paste`, `powerlauncher`
+- If unclear, pick the closest module or subsystem; omit only if unavoidable
+
+**Summary rules**
+- Imperative, present tense (“add”, “update”, “remove”, “fix”)
+- Keep it <= 72 characters when possible; be specific, avoid “misc changes”
+
+**Examples**
+- `feat(fancyzones): add canvas template duplication`
+- `fix(mouseutils): guard crosshair toggle when dpi info missing`
+- `docs(runner): document tray icon states`
+- `build(installer): align wix v5 suffix flag`
+- `ci(ci): cache pipeline artifacts for x64`

+## Conventions
+
+- **Terminal usage**: Disabled by default; only run scripts when user explicitly requests
+- **Batch generation**: Generate ALL grouped_md files in one pass, then human reviews
+- **PR order**: Preserve order from `sorted_prs.csv` in all outputs
+- **Label filtering**: Keeps `Product-*`, `Area-*`, `GitHub*`, `*Plugin`, `Issue-*`
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+| Issue | Solution |
+|-------|----------|
+| `gh` command not found | Install GitHub CLI and add to PATH |
+| No PRs returned | Verify milestone title matches exactly |
+| Empty CopilotSummary | Request Copilot reviews first, then re-run dump |
+| Many unlabeled PRs | Return to labeling step before grouping |

+# Step 1: Collection and Milestones
+
+## 1.0 To-do
+- 1.0.1 Generate MemberList.md (REQUIRED)
+- 1.1 Collect PRs
+- 1.2 Assign Milestones (REQUIRED)
+
+## Required Variables
+
+⚠️ **Before starting**, confirm these values with the user:
+
+| Variable | Description | Example |
+|----------|-------------|---------|
+| `{{ReleaseVersion}}` | Target release version | `0.97` |
+| `{{PreviousReleaseTag}}` | Previous release tag from releases page | `v0.96.1` |
+
+**If user hasn't specified `{{ReleaseVersion}}`, ASK:** "What release version are we generating notes for? (e.g., 0.97)"
+
+**`{{PreviousReleaseTag}}` is derived from the releases page, not user input.** Use the latest published release tag (top of the page). You will use its tag name and tag commit SHA in Step 1.
+
+---
+
+## 1.0.1 Generate MemberList.md (REQUIRED)
+
+Create `Generated Files/ReleaseNotes/MemberList.md` from the **PowerToys core team** section in [COMMUNITY.md](../../../COMMUNITY.md).
+
+Rules:
+- One GitHub username per line, **no** `@` prefix.
+- Use the usernames exactly as listed in the core team section.
+- Do not include former team members or other sections.
+
+Example (format only):
+```
+example-user
+another-user
+```
+
+---
+
+## 1.1 Collect PRs
+
+### 1.1.1 Get the previous release commit
+
+1. Open the [PowerToys releases page](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/releases/)
+2. Find the latest release (e.g., v0.96.1, which should be at the top)
+3. Set `{{PreviousReleaseTag}}` to that tag name (e.g., `v0.96.1`)
+4. Copy the full tag commit SHA as `{{SHALastRelease}}`
+
+
+**If the release SHA is not in your branch history:** Use the helper script to find an equivalent commit on the target branch by matching the commit title:
+
+```powershell
+pwsh ./.github/skills/release-note-generation/scripts/find-commit-by-title.ps1 `
+    -Commit '{{SHALastRelease}}' `
+    -Branch 'stable'
+```
+
+### 1.1.2 Run collection script against stable branch
+
+```powershell
+# Collect PRs from previous release to current HEAD of stable branch
+pwsh ./.github/skills/release-note-generation/scripts/dump-prs-since-commit.ps1 `
+    -StartCommit '{{SHALastRelease}}' `
+    -Branch 'stable' `
+    -OutputDir 'Generated Files/ReleaseNotes'
+```
+
+**Parameters:**
+- `-StartCommit` - Previous release tag or commit SHA (exclusive)
+- `-Branch` - Always use `stable` branch, not `main` (script uses `origin/stable` as the end ref)
+- `-EndCommit` - Optional override if you need a custom end ref
+- `-OutputDir` - Output directory for generated files
+
+**Reliability check:** If the script reports “No commits found”, the stable branch has not moved since the last release. In that case, either:
+- Confirm this is expected and stop (no new release notes), or
+- Re-run against `main` to gather pending changes for the next release cycle.
+
+The script detects both merge commits (`Merge pull request #12345`) and squash commits (`Feature (#12345)`).
+
+**Output** (in `Generated Files/ReleaseNotes/`):
+- `milestone_prs.json` - raw PR data
+- `sorted_prs.csv` - sorted PR list with columns: Id, Title, Labels, Author, Url, Body, CopilotSummary, NeedThanks
+
+---
+
+## 1.2 Assign Milestones (REQUIRED)
+
+**Before generating release notes**, ensure all collected PRs have the correct milestone assigned.
+
+⚠️ **CRITICAL:** Do NOT proceed to labeling until all PRs have milestones assigned.
+
+### 1.2.1 Check current milestone status (dry run)
+
+```powershell
+# Dry run first to see what would be changed:
+pwsh ./.github/skills/release-note-generation/scripts/collect-or-apply-milestones.ps1 `
+    -InputCsv 'Generated Files/ReleaseNotes/sorted_prs.csv' `
+    -OutputCsv 'Generated Files/ReleaseNotes/prs_with_milestone.csv' `
+    -DefaultMilestone 'PowerToys {{ReleaseVersion}}' `
+    -ApplyMissing -WhatIf
+```
+
+This queries GitHub for each PR's current milestone and shows which PRs would be updated.
+
+### 1.2.2 Apply milestones to PRs missing them
+
+```powershell
+# Apply for real:
+pwsh ./.github/skills/release-note-generation/scripts/collect-or-apply-milestones.ps1 `
+    -InputCsv 'Generated Files/ReleaseNotes/sorted_prs.csv' `
+    -OutputCsv 'Generated Files/ReleaseNotes/prs_with_milestone.csv' `
+    -DefaultMilestone 'PowerToys {{ReleaseVersion}}' `
+    -ApplyMissing
+```
+
+**Script Behavior:**
+- Queries each PR's current milestone from GitHub
+- PRs that already have a milestone are **skipped** (not overwritten)
+- PRs missing a milestone get the default milestone applied
+- Outputs `prs_with_milestone.csv` with (Id, Milestone) columns
+- Produces summary: `Updated=X Skipped=Y Failed=Z`
+
+**Validation:** After assignment, all PRs in `prs_with_milestone.csv` should have the target milestone.
+
+---
+
+## Additional Commands
+
+### Collect milestones only (no changes to GitHub)
+```powershell
+pwsh ./.github/skills/release-note-generation/scripts/collect-or-apply-milestones.ps1 `
+    -InputCsv 'Generated Files/ReleaseNotes/sorted_prs.csv' `
+    -OutputCsv 'Generated Files/ReleaseNotes/prs_with_milestone.csv'
+```
+
+### Local assignment only (fill blanks in CSV, no GitHub changes)
+```powershell
+pwsh ./.github/skills/release-note-generation/scripts/collect-or-apply-milestones.ps1 `
+    -InputCsv 'Generated Files/ReleaseNotes/sorted_prs.csv' `
+    -OutputCsv 'Generated Files/ReleaseNotes/prs_with_milestone.csv' `
+    -DefaultMilestone 'PowerToys {{ReleaseVersion}}' `
+    -LocalAssign

+# Step 2: Label Unlabeled PRs
+
+## 2.0 To-do
+- 2.1 Identify unlabeled PRs (Agent Mode)
+- 2.2 Suggest labels (Agent Mode)
+- 2.3 Human label low-confidence PRs
+- 2.4 Recheck labels, delete Unlabeled.csv, and re-collect
+
+**Before grouping**, ensure all PRs have appropriate labels for categorization.
+
+⚠️ **CRITICAL:** Do NOT proceed to grouping until all PRs have labels assigned. PRs without labels will end up in `Unlabeled.csv` and won't appear in the correct release note sections.
+
+## 2.1 Identify unlabeled PRs (Agent Mode)
+
+Read `sorted_prs.csv` and identify PRs with empty or missing `Labels` column.
+
+For each unlabeled PR, analyze:
+- **Title** - Often contains module name or feature
+- **Body** - PR description with context
+- **CopilotSummary** - AI-generated summary of changes
+
+## 2.2 Suggest labels (Agent Mode)
+
+For each unlabeled PR, suggest an appropriate label based on the content analysis.
+
+**Output:** Create `Generated Files/ReleaseNotes/prs_label_review.md` with the following format:
+
+```markdown
+# PR Label Review
+
+Generated: YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss
+
+## Summary
+- Total unlabeled PRs: X
+- High confidence: X
+- Medium confidence: X  
+- Low confidence: X
+
+---
+
+## PRs Needing Review (sorted by confidence, low first)
+
+| PR | Title | Suggested Label | Confidence | Reason |
+|----|-------|-----------------|------------|--------|
+| [#12347](url) | Some generic fix | ??? | Low | Unclear from content |
+| [#12346](url) | Update dependencies | `Area-Build` | Medium | Body mentions NuGet packages |
+```
+
+Sort by confidence (low first) so human reviews uncertain ones first.
+
+After writing `prs_label_review.md`, **generate `prs_to_label.csv`, apply labels, and re-run collection** so the CSV/labels stay in sync:
+
+```powershell
+# Generate CSV from suggestions (agent)
+# Apply labels
+pwsh ./.github/skills/release-note-generation/scripts/apply-labels.ps1 `
+    -InputCsv 'Generated Files/ReleaseNotes/prs_to_label.csv'
+
+# Refresh collection
+pwsh ./.github/skills/release-note-generation/scripts/dump-prs-since-commit.ps1 `
+    -StartCommit '{{PreviousReleaseTag}}' -Branch 'stable' `
+    -OutputDir 'Generated Files/ReleaseNotes'
+```
+
+## 2.3 Human label low-confidence PRs
+
+Ask the human to label **low-confidence** PRs directly (in GitHub). Skip any they decide not to label.
+
+## 2.4 Recheck labels, delete Unlabeled.csv, and re-collect
+
+Recheck that all PRs now have labels. Delete `Unlabeled.csv` (if present), then re-run the collection script to update `sorted_prs.csv`:
+
+```powershell
+# Remove stale unlabeled output if it exists
+Remove-Item 'Generated Files/ReleaseNotes/Unlabeled.csv' -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
+```
+
+```powershell
+pwsh ./.github/skills/release-note-generation/scripts/dump-prs-since-commit.ps1 `
+    -StartCommit '{{PreviousReleaseTag}}' -Branch 'stable' `
+    -OutputDir 'Generated Files/ReleaseNotes'
+```
+
+---
+
+## Common Label Mappings
+
+| Keywords/Patterns | Suggested Label |
+| ----------------- | --------------- |
+| Advanced Paste, AP, clipboard, paste | `Product-Advanced Paste` |
+| CmdPal, Command Palette, cmdpal | `Product-Command Palette` |

+# Step 3: Copilot Reviews and Grouping
+
+## 3.0 To-do
+- 3.1 Request Copilot Reviews (Agent Mode)
+- 3.2 Refresh PR Data
+- 3.3 Group PRs by Label
+
+## 3.1 Request Copilot Reviews (Agent Mode)
+
+Use MCP tools to request Copilot reviews for all PRs in `Generated Files/ReleaseNotes/sorted_prs.csv`:
+
+- Use `mcp_github_request_copilot_review` for each PR ID
+- Do NOT generate or run scripts for this step
+
+---
+
+## 3.2 Refresh PR Data
+
+Re-run the collection script to capture Copilot review summaries into the `CopilotSummary` column:
+
+```powershell
+pwsh ./.github/skills/release-note-generation/scripts/dump-prs-since-commit.ps1 `
+    -StartCommit '{{PreviousReleaseTag}}' -Branch 'stable' `
+    -OutputDir 'Generated Files/ReleaseNotes'

+pwsh ./.github/skills/release-note-generation/scripts/group-prs-by-label.ps1 -CsvPath 'Generated Files/ReleaseNotes/sorted_prs.csv' -OutDir 'Generated Files/ReleaseNotes/grouped_csv'
+```
+
+Creates `Generated Files/ReleaseNotes/grouped_csv/` with one CSV per label combination.
+
+**Validation:** The `Unlabeled.csv` file should be minimal (ideally empty). If many PRs remain unlabeled, return to Step 2 (see [step2-labeling.md](./step2-labeling.md)).

+# Step 4: Summaries and Final Release Notes
+
+## 4.0 To-do
+- 4.1 Generate Summary Markdown (Agent Mode)
+- 4.2 Produce Final Release Notes File
+
+## 4.1 Generate Summary Markdown (Agent Mode)
+
+For each CSV in `Generated Files/ReleaseNotes/grouped_csv/`, create a markdown file in `Generated Files/ReleaseNotes/grouped_md/`.
+
+⚠️ **IMPORTANT:** Generate **ALL** markdown files first. Do NOT pause between files or ask for feedback during generation. Complete the entire batch, then human reviews afterwards.
+
+### Structure per file
+
+**1. Bullet list** - one concise, user-facing line per PR:
+- Use the “Verb-ed + Scenario + Impact” sentence structure—make readers think, “That’s exactly what I need” or “Yes, that’s an awesome fix.”; The "impact" can be end-user focused (written to convey user excitement) or technical (performance/stability) when user-facing impact is minimal.
+- If nothing special on impact or unclear impact, mark as needing human summary
+- Source from Title, Body, and CopilotSummary (prefer CopilotSummary when available)
+- If the column `NeedThanks` in CSV is `True`, append: `Thanks [@Author](https://github.com/Author)!`
+- Do NOT include PR numbers in bullet lines
+- Do NOT mention “security” or “privacy” issues, since these are not known and could be leveraged by attackers in earlier versions. Instead, describe the user-facing scenario, usage, or impact.
+- If confidence < 70%, write: `Human Summary Needed: <PR full link>`
+
+**See [SampleOutput.md](./SampleOutput.md) for examples of well-written bullet summaries.**
+
+**2. Three-column table** (same PR order):
+- Column 1: Concise summary (same as bullet)
+- Column 2: PR link `[#ID](URL)`
+- Column 3: Confidence level (High/Medium/Low)
+
+### Review Process (AFTER all files generated)
+
+- Human reviews each `grouped_md/*.md` file and requests rewrites as needed
+- Human may say "rewrite Product-X" or "combine these bullets"—apply changes to that specific file
+- Do NOT interrupt generation to ask for feedback
+
+---
+
+## 4.2 Produce Final Release Notes File
+
+Once all `grouped_md/*.md` files are reviewed and approved, consolidate into a single release notes file.
+
+**Output:** `Generated Files/ReleaseNotes/v{{ReleaseVersion}}-release-notes.md`
+
+### Structure
+
+**1. Highlights section** (top):
+- 8-12 bullets covering the most user-visible features and impactful fixes
+- Pattern: `**Module**: brief description`
+- Avoid internal refactors; focus on what users will notice
+
+**2. Module sections** (alphabetical order):
+- One section per product (Advanced Paste, Awake, Command Palette, etc.)
+- Migrate bullet summaries from the approved `grouped_md/Product-*.md` files
+- One section 'Development' for all the rest summaries from the approved `grouped_md/Area-*.md` files
+- Re-review E2E, group release improvements by section, and move the most important items to the top of each section.
+Some items in the Development section may overlap and should be moved to the Module section where more applicable.
+
+### Example Final Structure
+
+```markdown
+# PowerToys v{{ReleaseVersion}} Release Notes
+
+## Highlights
+
+- **Command Palette**: Added theme customization and drag-and-drop support
+- **Advanced Paste**: Image input for AI, color detection in clipboard history
+- **FancyZones**: New CLI tool for command-line layout management
+...
+
+---
+
+## Advanced Paste
+
+- Wrapped paste option lists in a single ScrollViewer
+- Added image input handling for AI-powered transformations
+...

+<#
+.SYNOPSIS
+    Collect existing PR milestones or (optionally) assign/apply a milestone to missing PRs in one script.
+
+.DESCRIPTION
+    This unified script merges the behaviors of the previous add-milestone-column (collector) and
+    set-milestones-missing (remote updater) scripts.
+
+    Modes (controlled by switches):
+      1. Collect (default)  – For each PR Id in the input CSV, queries GitHub for the current milestone and
+                              outputs a two-column CSV (Id,Milestone) leaving blanks where none are set.
+      2. LocalAssign        – Same as Collect, but for rows that end up blank assigns the value of -DefaultMilestone
+                              in memory (does NOT touch GitHub). Useful for quickly preparing a fully populated CSV.
+      3. ApplyMissing       – After determining which PRs have no milestone, call GitHub API to set their milestone
+                              to -DefaultMilestone. Requires milestone to already exist (open). Network + write.
+
+    You can combine LocalAssign and ApplyMissing: the remote update uses the existing live state; LocalAssign only
+    affects the output CSV/pipeline objects.
+
+.PARAMETER InputCsv
+    Source CSV with at least an Id column. Default: sorted_prs.csv
+
+.PARAMETER OutputCsv
+    Destination CSV for collected (and optionally locally assigned) milestones. Default: prs_with_milestone.csv
+
+.PARAMETER Repo
+    GitHub repository (owner/name). Default: microsoft/PowerToys
+
+.PARAMETER DefaultMilestone
+    Milestone title used when -LocalAssign or -ApplyMissing is specified. Default: 'PowerToys 0.97'
+
+.PARAMETER Offline
+    Skip ALL GitHub lookups / updates. Implies Collect-only with all Milestone cells blank (unless LocalAssign).
+
+.PARAMETER LocalAssign
+    Populate empty Milestone cells in the output with -DefaultMilestone (does not modify GitHub).
+
+.PARAMETER ApplyMissing
+    For PRs which currently have no milestone (live on GitHub), set them to -DefaultMilestone via Issues API.
+
+.PARAMETER WhatIf
+    Dry run for ApplyMissing: show intended remote changes without performing PATCH requests.
+
+.EXAMPLE
+    # Collect only

+.SYNOPSIS
+    Produce an incremental PR CSV containing rows present in a newer full export but absent from a baseline export.
+
+.DESCRIPTION
+    Compares two previously generated sorted PR CSV files (same schema). Any row whose key column value
+    (defaults to 'Number') does not exist in the baseline file is emitted to a new incremental CSV, preserving
+    the original column order. If no new rows are found, an empty CSV (with headers when determinable) is written.
+
+.PARAMETER BaseCsv
+    Path to the baseline (earlier) PR CSV.
+
+.PARAMETER AllCsv
+    Path to the newer full PR CSV containing superset (or equal set) of rows.
+
+.PARAMETER OutCsv
+    Path to write the incremental CSV containing only new rows.
+
+.PARAMETER Key
+    Column name used as unique identifier (defaults to 'Number'). Must exist in both CSVs.
+
+.EXAMPLE
+    pwsh ./diff_prs.ps1 -BaseCsv sorted_prs_prev.csv -AllCsv sorted_prs.csv -OutCsv sorted_prs_incremental.csv
+
+.NOTES
+    Requires: PowerShell 7+, both CSVs with identical column schemas.

+    Identifies merge/squash commits reachable from EndCommit but not StartCommit, extracts PR numbers,
+    queries GitHub for metadata plus (optionally) Copilot review/comment summaries, filters labels, then
+    emits a JSON artifact and a sorted CSV (first label alphabetical).
+
+.PARAMETER StartCommit
+    Exclusive starting commit (SHA, tag, or ref). Commits AFTER this one are considered.
+
+.PARAMETER EndCommit
+    Inclusive ending commit (SHA, tag, or ref). If not provided, uses origin/<Branch> when Branch is set; otherwise uses HEAD.
+
+.PARAMETER Repo
+    GitHub repository (owner/name). Default: microsoft/PowerToys.
+
+.PARAMETER OutputCsv
+    Destination CSV path. Default: sorted_prs.csv.
+
+.PARAMETER OutputJson

+.DESCRIPTION
+    Given a commit SHA (often from a release tag) and a branch name, this script

+.PARAMETER CsvPath
+    Input CSV containing PR rows with a 'Labels' column (comma-separated list).
+
+.PARAMETER OutDir
+    Output directory to place grouped CSVs (created if missing). Default: 'grouped_csv'.
+
+.NOTES
+    Label combinations are joined using ' | ' when multiple labels present. Filenames are sanitized (invalid characters,
+    whitespace collapsed) and truncated to <= 120 characters.
