A repeatable workflow to turn a feature request into actionable tasks, file scaffolding, and initial implementation using GitHub Copilot.

## Steps:

1. Paste your feature ticket or user story into a scratch file or comment.

2. Ask Copilot: "Summarize this feature into 3–5 concrete tasks and list the files likely involved in this codebase."

3. Review Copilot’s task outline and adjust as needed.

4. For each task, create/open the suggested file and write a small comment describing the expected change.

5. Place the cursor below each comment and let Copilot generate the implementation.

6. Ask Copilot: "Generate tests that confirm this feature works end-to-end."

7. Run tests, fix issues, and commit only when everything is passing.
