This pull request introduces a new custom agent configuration file, .github/agents/my-agent.agent.md, which documents a comprehensive solution for improving test coverage and reliability in the stellar/quickstart repository. The agent summary outlines the creation of a professional pull request that adds automated CI testing, robust integration scripts, enhanced documentation, and future-proofing strategies for the --local unlimited configuration. The file serves as both a blueprint for the agent's functionality and a detailed summary of the technical improvements delivered.

Testing and CI Improvements

  • Describes a complete GitHub Actions workflow to validate the --local unlimited configuration, including automated CI testing on PRs and scheduled runs, multi-service validation (stellar-core, Horizon, RPC, Friendbot), and resource limit verification.
  • Details a professional integration test script (tests/test-unlimited-config.sh) for container startup, readiness checks, validation, and cleanup.

Documentation and Usability

  • Updates documentation with clear usage instructions, configuration explanations, troubleshooting tips, and production warnings to improve developer experience.

Error Handling and Future-Proofing

  • Implements rollback strategies, diagnostic logging, configuration verification, and graceful fallback mechanisms to ensure reliability and error recovery.
  • Adds monitoring, alerting, and edge case handling (startup delays, memory constraints,Updated agent documentation to include detailed pull request creation process and testing strategy for the 'stellar/quickstart' repository.

Updated agent documentation to include detailed pull request creation process and testing strategy for the 'stellar/quickstart' repository.

Pull request overview

This pull request adds a new GitHub Copilot custom agent configuration file to the stellar/quickstart repository. However, the file appears to be a draft or template that was not properly completed before submission. The content mixes agent configuration templates, conversational fragments, and what appears to be a status report of a specific pull request, rather than being a proper agent configuration blueprint.

Key Issues

  • The frontmatter metadata fields (name and description) are required but left empty
  • Template placeholder text was not replaced with actual agent descriptions
  • Contains conversational fragments and incomplete sentences that appear to be copied from an AI chat session
  • References non-existent files (test scripts and GitHub Actions workflows)
  • Written as a status report of a completed action rather than as a reusable agent configuration
  • Generic naming ("my-agent") instead of descriptive naming

The description section contains incomplete, stream-of-consciousness text that appears to be copied from a chat or development session rather than being a proper agent description. Lines 13-21 contain fragments like "Perfect! I now have all 25 open issues" and "Let me submit multiple professional PRs:" which are inappropriate for an agent configuration file. The description should be concise and professional, explaining what the agent does without conversational filler.

The majority of the agent configuration file (lines 22-269) contains what appears to be a historical summary or report about a previously created pull request rather than defining the agent's behavior and capabilities. An agent configuration file should focus on defining the agent's name, description, instructions, and conversation starters - not documenting past actions or achievements. This content would be more appropriate as documentation in a separate file or as part of a project README.
