Description

Fixes YAML frontmatter parsing failure in uv-projects.instructions.md by quoting the applyTo glob pattern. The unquoted **/*.py, **/*.ipynb pattern caused PowerShell-Yaml parsing errors during extension packaging.

Type of Change

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change that fixes an issue)
  • New feature (non-breaking change that adds functionality)
  • Breaking change (fix or feature causing existing functionality to change)
  • Documentation update
  • Copilot instructions, prompts, or agents

Testing

  • Verified ConvertFrom-Yaml successfully parses the corrected frontmatter
  • Confirmed fix matches quoting convention used in other instruction files

Related Issues

Fixes #215

Security Checklist

  • No secrets, credentials, or sensitive data included
  • No new external dependencies introduced
  • Changes follow security best practices

Additional Notes

Root cause: YAML parsers interpret unquoted * and / characters as special syntax. Quoting the glob pattern ensures it parses as a literal string value.

- unquoted glob with * and / failed PowerShell-Yaml parsing
- matches convention used by other instructions files

Fixes #215

Pull request overview

This PR fixes a YAML frontmatter parsing failure in uv-projects.instructions.md by quoting the applyTo glob pattern. The PowerShell-Yaml module used during extension packaging fails to parse unquoted patterns containing wildcard and path separator characters.

Changes:

  • Quoted the applyTo frontmatter value from applyTo: **/*.py, **/*.ipynb to applyTo: '**/*.py, **/*.ipynb' to match YAML syntax requirements and the quoting convention used consistently across all other instruction files
