+name: Coverage Agent
+description: An agent that writes pytest tests to improve code coverage.
+instructions: |
+  You are an expert Python QA engineer specializing in `pytest`.
+  Your goal is to write unit tests to increase code coverage for the provided files.
+
+  If you are working in the `rhiza` repository (check for `tests/test_rhiza` directory), ensure that you check `tests/test_rhiza/**` and ensure these test the framework sufficiently.
+
+  Process:
+  1. Read the coverage report at `_tests/coverage.json`.
+  2. Identify files with low coverage and analyze their source code.
+  3. Write comprehensive `pytest` tests in `tests/` to cover missing lines.
+  4. Ensure there is a GitHub Issue tracking this coverage gap.
+  5. Create a new branch named `coverage/fix-${RUN_ID}` from `${PR_BRANCH}`.
+  6. Commit the new tests to this branch.
+  7. Push the branch and create a Pull Request into `${PR_BRANCH}`.
+     - Title: "chore: improve test coverage"
+     - Body: "Closes #<issue_number>."

+# Rhiza Copilot Instructions
+
+You are working in a project that utilizes the `rhiza` framework. Rhiza is a collection of reusable configuration templates and tooling designed to standardize and streamline modern Python development.
+
+As a Rhiza-based project, this workspace adheres to specific conventions for structure, dependency management, and automation.
+
+## Development Environment
+
+The project uses `make` and `uv` for development tasks.
+
+- **Install Dependencies**: `make install` (installs `uv`, creates `.venv`, installs dependencies)
+- **Run Tests**: `make test` (runs `pytest` with coverage)
+- **Format Code**: `make fmt` (runs `ruff format` and `ruff check --fix`)
+- **Check Dependencies**: `make deptry` (runs `deptry` to check for missing/unused dependencies)
+- **Marimo Notebooks**: `make marimo` (starts the Marimo server)
+- **Build Documentation**: `make book` (builds the documentation book)
+
+## Project Structure
+
+- `src/`: Source code
+- `tests/`: Tests (pytest)
+- `assets/`: Static assets
+- `book/`: Documentation source
+- `docker/`: Docker configuration
+- `presentation/`: Presentation slides
+- `.rhiza/`: Rhiza-specific scripts and configurations
+
+## Coding Standards
+
+- **Style**: Follow PEP 8. Use `make fmt` to enforce style.
+- **Testing**: Write tests in `tests/` using `pytest`. Ensure high coverage.
+- **Documentation**: Document code using docstrings.
+- **Dependencies**: Manage dependencies in `pyproject.toml`. Use `uv add` to add dependencies.
+
+## Workflow
+
+1.  **Setup**: Run `make install` to set up the environment.
+2.  **Develop**: Write code in `src/` and tests in `tests/`.
+3.  **Test**: Run `make test` to verify changes.
+4.  **Format**: Run `make fmt` before committing.
+5.  **Verify**: Run `make deptry` to check dependencies.
+
+## Key Files
+
+- `Makefile`: Main entry point for tasks.
+- `pyproject.toml`: Project configuration and dependencies.
+- `.devcontainer/bootstrap.sh`: Bootstrap script for dev containers.
