Context & Customization

DinoAI’s behaviour is shaped by files you keep in your repository. These are separate from tools (what the agent can call) — they define how the agent thinks, what standards it follows, and what reusable prompts and skills it has on hand. Each mechanism applies to different surfaces:

Mechanism	Copilot	Agents	How it loads
.dinorules	✓	✓	Read automatically at the start of every session
CLAUDE.md / AGENT.md	✓	✓	Read automatically at the start of every session
Skills	✓	✓	Auto-discovered from your repo and loaded on demand
.dinoprompts	✓	—	Copilot-only reusable prompt library

Rules & Instructions

Define project standards and instructions with .dinorules, plus CLAUDE.md and AGENT.md interop.

Skills

Reusable, auto-discovered capability packages that DinoAI loads on demand.
