Adds .github/copilot-instructions.md to enable context-aware Copilot code reviews as requested in the linked GitHub blog post.

Changes

  • Created .github/copilot-instructions.md with R package-specific review guidelines covering:
    • roxygen2 documentation standards (@param, @return, @examples)
    • Backward compatibility requirements for visualization functions
    • testthat testing expectations
    • Key files to focus on (R/heatmaply.R, R/heatmapr.R, R/ggheatmap.R)

To enable

Repository owner must enable "Copilot code review" in Settings → Code security and analysis. The instructions file will then be automatically consumed during PR reviews.
