.github Instructions Boundary

This folder is now reserved for repo-local instruction assets that maintain the LightSpeed .github control-plane repository.

Scope

Path	Purpose
.github/instructions/file-organisation.instructions.md	Repo-local placement and boundary rules for this repository.
.github/instructions/.archive/	Historical instruction files retained for reference during migration.
.github/instructions/README.md	This repo-local boundary index.

Reusable LightSpeed instruction files live in ../../instructions/.

Migration Rules

• Add new reusable instruction files under instructions/, not under .github/instructions/.
• Keep repo-specific boundary guidance here when it only makes sense for this community-health repository.
• Do not restore archived files into active use without a migration-map update and a linked issue.

Validation

• Run Markdown linting for changed instruction files.
• Run npm run validate:structure after changing the root source-folder model.
• Check links when moving files between .github/instructions/ and instructions/.
