Add data-science.md prompt for chart/trend workflow generation by Copilot · Pull Request #22032 · github/gh-aw

Copilot · 2026-03-20T21:50:02Z

Provides a single authoritative, self-contained prompt file for the agent dispatcher covering Python data visualization and trending patterns. All content from shared/python-dataviz.md, shared/charts-with-trending.md, and shared/trending-charts-simple.md is distilled and inlined directly — no imports: and no references to shared files.

Changes

.github/aw/data-science.md — new fully self-contained prompt covering:
- Frontmatter template focused on data-science-specific fields only: network, safe-outputs, and a setup step (pip install, directory creation) — generic fields (description, on, permissions, engine, tools, upload-artifact step) are intentionally omitted
- Five-step agent prompt structure (load history → collect → append & prune → chart → report) as a single numbered list
- Consolidated Python patterns: history load/append/prune in one snippet, trend chart with moving average, and multi-metric loop
- Data separation rule (external files only, never inline), 90-day retention, DPI 300 seaborn chart standards
- Report template using ?raw=true GitHub URL format for embedded chart images
- Common use-case lookup table with trigger and notes columns
.github/agents/agentic-workflows.agent.md — registers data-science.md in the dispatcher:
- New "Data visualization / data science" bullet in the "What This Agent Does" routing list
- New "Generate Charts and Trend Visualizations (Data Science)" entry in "Available Prompts" with load-when guidance, direct URL to data-science.md, and five representative use cases covering charts, trend plots, dashboards, and Python-based metric visualization

@copilot this file should be self container, import the content needed from shared/*

Added imports: frontmatter in 780f8b1 to pull in shared/python-dataviz.md, shared/charts-with-trending.md, and shared/trending-charts-simple.md — the file is now self-contained.

+imports:

@copilot do not use imports: instead distilliate, inline and summary the content of these shared workflows into a prompt that can help regenerator similar workflows that need data science charts. The goal is a self container data-science.md file with no imports and no references to shared/* files.

Done in 35c50df. Removed imports: entirely and inlined the essential content from all three shared files directly into data-science.md — environment setup (pip install, directory structure, artifact uploads), cache-memory organization, JSON Lines patterns (append, load, moving average, 90-day retention), chart quality settings, and the report template. No shared/* references remain anywhere in the file.

@copilot optimize prompt

Done in 56c7835. Reduced from 294 → 147 lines by: collapsing the 5-phase section into a single numbered list, merging four separate trending snippets into one cohesive load/append/prune example, combining the chart quality block with the moving-average chart snippet, tightening the report template, and removing the "Key Reminders" section (now redundant with the inline bold warnings).
