Agents weren't proactively using the
usethis-test-with-coverageskill when modifying code (#1601 shipped with 54.98% patch coverage initially). The skill existed but nothing in the agent instructions told agents to always use it.usethis-test-with-coverageas an always-relevant skill in "Important Instructions about Skills usage", matching the existingusethis-qa-static-checkspatternusethis-python-code-modifyskill: Added explicit step to write/update tests usingusethis-test-with-coveragebefore pushing — previously the procedure only said to run existing tests, not write them✨ Let Copilot coding agent set things up for you — coding agent works faster and does higher quality work when set up for your repo.
