The Copilot check measures three categories. Two are solid, one is not.
Verified against GitHub's documentation: .github/copilot-instructions.md, .github/instructions/**/*.instructions.md, AGENTS.md anywhere in the tree with nearest-wins, root CLAUDE.md and GEMINI.md, and the three skill roots .github/skills, .claude/skills, .agents/skills.
Taken from search results rather than docs: copilot/mcp-config.json and .vscode/mcp.json in MCP_FILES. I flagged this at the time and it is still unconfirmed.
Two risks if the paths are wrong. A path that does not exist is a silently empty category, so the check reports "nothing added, nothing subtracted" for MCP while never looking at the real file, which is the exact failure mode #62 existed to remove. And a path that is right for the VS Code extension but not for the Copilot coding agent would cover one surface while appearing to cover both.
To close: confirm each path against current GitHub documentation for the coding agent specifically, add any that are missing, and note in copilot/README.md which agent surface each path applies to.
