Adds guidance for effective use of GitHub Copilot coding agent based on official best practices.

Changes

  • Tool Calling and Efficiency: Documents parallel vs sequential tool execution patterns to optimize agent performance
  • Task Suitability Matrix: Defines which tasks are ideal for Copilot (bug fixes, tests, documentation) vs those requiring human judgment (architecture, security, domain logic)
  • Agent Workflow: Guidelines for issue writing, iteration cycles, and progress monitoring

Repository already had comprehensive technical documentation. These additions focus specifically on human-AI collaboration patterns.
