| 8 | + |
| 9 | +**Date:** 2026-02-23 |
| 10 | +**Agents:** Sam (Content Strategist), Carla (Publishing Scheduler) |
| 11 | +**Status:** APPROVED & FINALIZED |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +### Decision Summary |
| 14 | +Updated the 12-week MWF content calendar (March 2 – May 22, 2026) to include foundational .agent.md article and optimize sequencing. Total commitment remains 36 articles with 1 flex slot preserved. |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +### Changes Approved |
| 17 | +1. **Added Article (Week 1 Wednesday, March 4)** |
| 18 | + - Title: "Create Your First Custom Copilot Agent: Authoring .agent.md Files for Specialized AI Assistants" |
| 19 | + - Category: GitHub Copilot | Difficulty: Beginner |
| 20 | + - Filename: `create-your-first-custom-copilot-agent.md` |
| 21 | + - Tags: github-copilot, agents, agent-md, customization, getting-started |
| 22 | + - Rationale: Foundational gap in custom agent workflows; pairs with existing instructions/skills content; establishes credibility in Week 1 |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +2. **Rescheduled Article (Week 1 Wed → Week 7 Fri, April 17)** |
| 25 | + - Title: "GitHub Copilot Vision: From Wireframes to Code — Design-to-Code Workflows" |
| 26 | + - Category: GitHub Copilot | Difficulty: Intermediate |
| 27 | + - Filename: `copilot-vision-design-to-code.md` |
| 28 | + - Tags: github-copilot, vision, design, figma, workflow |
| 29 | + - Rationale: Intermediate difficulty better suited to mid-calendar positioning; improves Week 1 beginner flow; maintains high-priority gap coverage by Week 7 |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +3. **New Series Created** |
| 32 | + - **"Copilot Customization"** (3-part arc): |
| 33 | + - Part 1: Create Your First Custom Copilot Agent (.agent.md) — Week 1 Wed |
| 34 | + - Part 2: Copilot Instructions (existing reference) — archive |
| 35 | + - Part 3: GitHub Copilot Skills (existing reference) — archive |
| 36 | + - Provides coherent learning path for readers building tailored Copilot workflows |
