This PR introduces a complete GitHub Copilot configuration system tailored for this Flutter application template, providing developers with structured guidance that aligns with the project's established MVVM + Clean Architecture patterns.

What's Added

Core Configuration Files

  • .github/copilot-instructions.md - Comprehensive project-specific guidelines covering architecture patterns, code style, and Flutter best practices
  • .github/copilot-workspace.yml - Workspace configuration for enhanced Copilot suggestions with project-specific settings

Prompt Templates (.github/prompt-templates/)

Seven detailed templates covering common development scenarios:

  1. Feature Development - Complete MVVM feature implementation with data models, repositories, services, ViewModels, and UI components
  2. Bug Fix - Systematic debugging approach with layer-specific strategies and error reproduction techniques
  3. Refactoring - Safe code restructuring while preserving functionality and following architecture patterns
  4. Testing - Comprehensive testing strategies including unit, widget, and integration tests with mocking
  5. UI Component - Reusable component creation with accessibility, theming, and performance considerations
  6. API Integration - REST API integration using Retrofit pattern with error handling and caching
  7. Performance Optimization - UI rendering, memory management, and app responsiveness improvements

Enhanced Developer Experience

  • Updated PR template to track Copilot template usage and architecture compliance
  • Comprehensive README with usage instructions and best practices
  • Architecture compliance checklists for quality assurance

Key Features

The templates are designed to:

  • Maintain consistency with existing codebase patterns (GetIt DI, RxDart streams, Retrofit)
  • Provide actionable guidance with copy-paste code examples
  • Cover complete workflows from initial implementation to testing and deployment
  • Include performance considerations and common pitfall avoidance
  • Support all development phases from feature creation to optimization

Example Usage

Developers can now use these templates with GitHub Copilot:

// Reference in comments for contextual help
// Using GitHub Copilot Feature Development Template
// Create a user service following the repository pattern

// Or in Copilot chat
@workspace Using the API Integration template, help me create a repository 
for managing user data with proper error handling and caching.

Benefits

  • Faster development with structured guidance for common tasks
  • Consistent code quality following established architecture patterns
  • Reduced onboarding time for new developers
  • Better Copilot suggestions with project-specific context
  • Comprehensive testing approach with template-guided test creation

The templates contain over 7,000 lines of detailed guidance, code examples, and best practices specifically tailored to this Flutter template's architecture and development patterns.
