📖 Description
Adds a policy-bot rule to automatically apply a
Copilot-Instructionslabel to pull requests that modify.github/copilot-instructions.mdor any.github/instructions/*.instructions.mdfile, so reviewers get extra visibility when Copilot's guidance changes.The rule triggers on PR Opened and Synchronize, matches files via regex, and is guarded with a
ot: hasLabel check so it won't re-fire once the label is already applied.
Created with GitHub Copilot's assistance.
