This PR adds a comprehensive .copilot-instructions.md file to provide GitHub Copilot with detailed context about the meshStack Terraform Provider repository structure, development patterns, and API integration.

What's included

The instructions file covers:

  • Repository overview: Purpose as the official meshStack Terraform Provider integrating with meshStack's meshObject API
  • Architecture details: Standard Terraform provider structure with authentication, resource management, and API client patterns
  • Directory structure: Detailed explanations of key directories (/internal/provider/, /client/, /docs/, /examples/)
  • Development patterns: Resource implementation patterns, API client conventions, and schema structures
  • Build and testing: Local development setup, testing procedures, and documentation generation workflow
  • Supported resources: Complete list of managed resources including building blocks, projects, workspaces, tenants, and tag definitions
  • Troubleshooting guide: Common issues and debugging approaches

Key information for Copilot

The instructions provide essential context about:

  • Integration with meshStack's meshObject API (/api/meshobjects endpoints)
  • API documentation reference: https://docs.dev.meshcloud.io/api/index.html#mesh_objects
  • Authentication using JWT tokens with automatic refresh
  • Standard meshObject structure (api_version, kind, metadata, spec, status)
  • Resource versioning strategy (building blocks v1/v2, tenants v4)
  • Development workflow and common tasks

This will enable Copilot to provide more accurate and contextually relevant assistance to developers working on the provider.

Fixes #49.

@JohannesRudolph Thanks for the hint.
This PR is to get a first rough draft for copilot instructions. I let it generate it itself and then discarded a bit.

lgtm for a first pass, will be refined based on real world performance anyway

d: not sure if this is wasted context (auth is already codified in the provider)

a more useful explanation here would be the key concept of workspace and that most resources live in a workspace, and that API tokens are also usually scoped to a single workspace
