Adds concise guidance for designing workflows that mine, refine, and apply custom linter rules using repository evidence such as Copilot sessions, fix commits, review feedback, and code patterns.

  • Mining

    • Prioritize recurring, corroborated evidence.
    • Normalize candidates by impact, correction, scope, and false-positive risk.
    • Deduplicate against existing, proposed, and rejected rules.
  • Refinement

    • Classify precision, diagnostic, suppression, autofix, and performance problems.
    • Require focused changes backed by regression tests.
  • Application

    • Group diagnostics by root cause.
    • Bound remediation work and maintain authoritative tracking issues.
    • Feed fix and review outcomes back into rule refinement.
  • Integration

    • Link the guidance from workflow creation and update instructions.
    • Define safe-output scoping, compact persistent state, and terminal-output guardrails.

- Bound history windows, candidates, remediation groups, and agent assignments.
- Use persistent memory for compact deduplication state and cursors, not large transcripts.
- End with exactly one terminal safe output such as a pull request, issue/report, or `noop`.
- Do not finish while delegated agents are still running.
