A quick chat costs about $0.0015. A heavy agent session costs $5. GitHub just admitted flat-rate pricing can't survive this gap. Here's what AI coding agents actually cost at team scale, with real numbers from official sources.
Five customization files, one .NET Aspire repo, one complete agent setup. How AGENTS.md, .instructions.md, SKILL.md, .prompt.md, and .agent.md work together in practice.
The difference between AGENTS.md and .agent.md, how GitHub Copilot uses both, and when to write repo instructions versus a custom agent persona.
Why GitHub Copilot skills live in plural folders but singular SKILL.md files, how they load, and when supporting files are pulled in on demand.
Single-agent, agent-with-tools, or multi-agent? The same feature through all three setups, the failure modes to watch for, and a decision matrix you can actually use.
Spec-Kit's extension system turns a structured spec-driven workflow into something you can customize end-to-end. Here's how extensions work, which ones are worth looking at, and a hands-on walkthrough of the Ralph Loop extension for autonomous implementation.
From vague prompts to reliable results: practical frameworks and mental models for working with LLMs, covering the 5 Principles, few-shot learning, Chain of Thought, RAG, context engineering, and how agents change everything.
