+# GitHub Copilot Instructions for PSGraph
+
+## Project Overview
+
+PSGraph is a PowerShell module (published as **PSQuickGraph**) that wraps the [QuikGraph](https://github.com/KeRNeLith/QuikGraph) library for graph analysis and visualization. It enables scripted dependency analysis between objects, graph algorithm execution, and visualization in multiple formats.
+
+## Technology Stack
+
+- **Language:** C# targeting .NET 9.0
+- **PowerShell SDK:** 7.5.1 (for cmdlet development)
+- **Unit Tests:** xUnit + FluentAssertions
+- **Integration Tests:** Pester (PowerShell)
+- **Key Libraries:** QuikGraph 2.5.0, MathNet.Numerics 5.0.0, Newtonsoft.Json 13.0.3
+
+## Project Structure
+
+```
+PSGraph/           - Main PowerShell module (cmdlets, DSM, helpers)
+PSGraph.Common/    - Shared types: PSVertex, PSEdge, PsBidirectionalGraph, interfaces, enums
+PSGraph.Vega.Extensions/  - Vega/D3.js visualization generation
+PSGraph.Tests/     - xUnit tests (C#)
+PsGraph.Pester.Tests/     - Pester tests (PowerShell)
+```
+
+## Key Namespaces and Types
+
+- `PSGraph.Cmdlets` — PowerShell cmdlets (New-Graph, Add-Vertex, Add-Edge, Export-Graph, New-DSM, etc.)
+- `PSGraph.DesignStructureMatrix` — DSM analysis (DsmBase, DsmClassic, DsmView, partitioning algorithms)
+- `PSGraph.Model` — Core graph types (PsBidirectionalGraph, PSVertex, PSEdge)
+- `PSGraph.Vega.Extensions` — Vega spec generation (VegaDataConverter, VegaHelper)
+
+## Coding Conventions
+
+- File-scoped namespaces (`namespace PSGraph.Foo;`)
+- Nullable reference types enabled (`#nullable enable`)
+- Private fields prefixed with underscore: `_camelCase`
+- Public properties and methods use PascalCase
+- Interfaces prefixed with `I` (e.g., `IDsm`, `IDsmView`)
+- All cmdlets inherit from `PSCmdlet` and use `[Cmdlet(Verb, Noun)]` attributes
+- Use `WriteObject()` for output, `WriteVerbose()` for diagnostic messages
+- Use `[Parameter]` and `[ValidateNotNullOrEmpty]` for cmdlet parameters
+
+### Cmdlet Pattern
+
+```csharp
+[Cmdlet(VerbsCommon.New, "Graph")]
+public class NewPsGraphCmdlet : PSCmdlet
+{
+    protected override void ProcessRecord()
+    {
+        var newGraph = new PsBidirectionalGraph(false);
+        WriteObject(newGraph);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### DSM / Matrix Pattern
+
+- DSM classes use `Matrix<Single>` from MathNet.Numerics
+- Row/column index dictionaries map `PSVertex` to `int`
+- Return new instances from mutation methods (immutable-style)
+
+## Build and Test Commands
+
+```bash
+# Restore dependencies
+dotnet restore
+
+# Build (debug)
+dotnet build --configuration Debug
+
+# Publish module output
+dotnet publish -o "./PSQuickGraph"
+
+# Run xUnit tests
+dotnet test --verbosity normal
+
+# Run Pester tests (after publish)
+pwsh -c "Invoke-Pester -Path ./PsGraph.Pester.Tests/"
+```
+
+## Test Patterns
+
+### xUnit (C#)
+
+Tests use `PowerShell.Create()` to load the compiled module and invoke cmdlets:
+
+```csharp
+[Fact]
+public void GivenNoParameters_CreatesEmptyGraph()
+{
+    using var ps = PowerShell.Create();
+    ps.AddCommand("Import-Module").AddParameter("Name", _modulePath);
+    ps.Invoke();
+    ps.Commands.Clear();
+
+    ps.AddCommand("New-Graph");
+    var result = ps.Invoke();
+    result.Should().HaveCount(1);
+}
+```
+
+### Pester (PowerShell)
+
+```powershell
+BeforeAll {
+    Import-Module "./PSGraph.Tests/bin/Debug/net9.0/PSQuickGraph.psd1"
+}
+
+Describe 'New-Graph' {
+    It 'Given no parameters, creates an empty graph object' {
+        $graph = New-Graph
+        $graph | Should -Not -BeNullOrEmpty
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Important Notes
+
+- The published module name is `PSQuickGraph` (not `PSGraph`).
+- The module manifest is at `PSGraph/PSQuickGraph.psd1`.
+- When adding new cmdlets, register them in `PSQuickGraph.psd1` under `CmdletsToExport`.
+- Export types are defined in `PSGraph.Common` — add new export formats there.
+- Vega visualization templates live in `PSGraph.Vega.Extensions/Assets/`.

+# Agent Instructions for PSGraph
+
+This file provides guidance for AI coding agents working in the PSGraph repository.
+
+## Project Summary
+
+PSGraph is a C# / .NET 9 project that publishes a PowerShell module called **PSQuickGraph**. It wraps the QuikGraph graph library and exposes graph analysis, Design Structure Matrix (DSM) operations, and Vega/D3.js visualizations via PowerShell cmdlets.
+
+## Repository Layout
+
+| Directory | Purpose |
+|-----------|---------|
+| `PSGraph/` | Main module: cmdlets, DSM algorithms, helpers |
+| `PSGraph.Common/` | Shared library: core types (PSVertex, PSEdge, PsBidirectionalGraph), interfaces, enums |
+| `PSGraph.Vega.Extensions/` | Vega/D3.js visualization: data converters, spec builders, HTML templates |
+| `PSGraph.Tests/` | xUnit tests in C# |
+| `PsGraph.Pester.Tests/` | Pester integration tests in PowerShell |
+| `.github/workflows/` | CI/CD pipelines (build, publish) |
+| `docs/` | Documentation files |
+
+## How to Build and Test
+
+```bash
+# Restore and build
+dotnet restore
+dotnet build --configuration Debug
+
+# Publish module to ./PSQuickGraph (needed before Pester tests)
+dotnet publish -o "./PSQuickGraph"
+
+# Run all xUnit tests
+dotnet test --verbosity normal
+
+# Run Pester tests (requires PowerShell 7+)
+pwsh -c "Invoke-Pester -Path ./PsGraph.Pester.Tests/"
+```
+
+Always run `dotnet build` before running any tests to ensure the latest code is compiled.
+
+## Key Coding Conventions
+
+1. **File-scoped namespaces** — use `namespace PSGraph.Foo;` (not block-scoped)
+2. **Nullable reference types** — enabled project-wide; handle nullability explicitly
+3. **Naming:**
+   - Private fields: `_camelCase`
+   - Public properties/methods: `PascalCase`
+   - Interfaces: `I`-prefixed (`IDsm`, `IDsmView`)
+4. **Cmdlets** inherit from `PSCmdlet` and use `[Cmdlet(Verb, "Noun")]` attribute
+5. **Output** via `WriteObject()`, diagnostics via `WriteVerbose()`
+6. **Parameter attributes:** `[Parameter]`, `[ValidateNotNullOrEmpty]`
+7. **DSM classes** return new instances instead of mutating in place (immutable-style operations)
+
+## Adding New Features
+
+### New Cmdlet
+
+1. Create a new `*Cmdlet.cs` file in `PSGraph/cmdlets/` (or a relevant subdirectory)
+2. Inherit from `PSCmdlet`, add `[Cmdlet]` attribute
+3. Register the cmdlet name in `PSGraph/PSQuickGraph.psd1` under `CmdletsToExport`
+4. Add xUnit tests in `PSGraph.Tests/`
+5. Add Pester tests in `PsGraph.Pester.Tests/`
+
+### New Export Format
+
+1. Add a value to `GraphExportTypes` or `DSMExportTypes` enum in `PSGraph.Common/`
+2. Handle the new case in `ExportGraphCmdlet.cs` or `ExportDSMCmdlet.cs`
+3. Add tests
+
+### New DSM Algorithm
+
+1. Implement `IDsmPartitionAlgorithm` interface from `PSGraph.Common`
+2. Place implementation in `PSGraph/DSM/`
+3. Register in `DsmPartitioningAlgorithms` enum and `StartDSMClusteringCmdlet.cs`
+4. Add tests in `PSGraph.Tests/`
+
+## Test Patterns
+
+### xUnit (C#) — for unit and integration tests
+
+```csharp
+public class MyFeatureTests
+{
+    private readonly string _modulePath = 
+        Path.Combine(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory, "PSQuickGraph.psd1");
+
+    [Fact]
+    public void GivenSomeInput_DoesExpectedThing()
+    {
+        using var ps = PowerShell.Create();
+        ps.AddCommand("Import-Module").AddParameter("Name", _modulePath);
+        ps.Invoke();
+        ps.Commands.Clear();
+
+        ps.AddCommand("New-Graph");
+        var result = ps.Invoke();
+        result.Should().HaveCount(1);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Pester (PowerShell) — for end-to-end cmdlet tests
+
+```powershell
+BeforeAll {
+    Import-Module "./PSGraph.Tests/bin/Debug/net9.0/PSQuickGraph.psd1"
+}
+
+Describe 'My-Cmdlet' {
+    It 'Given valid input, returns expected output' {
+        $result = My-Cmdlet -Param value
+        $result | Should -Not -BeNullOrEmpty
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## CI / CD
+
+- **build.yml** — runs on pushes to `dev` and PRs to `master`: restores, builds, publishes, runs xUnit tests and Pester tests
+- **publish.yml** — runs on release: publishes the PSQuickGraph NuGet package
+- **publishCommon.yml** — publishes the PSGraph.Common NuGet package
+
+The CI uses `.NET 9.0.x` on `ubuntu-latest`. Ensure all new code compiles and all tests pass on Linux.
+
+## Important Notes
+
+- The published PowerShell module is named **PSQuickGraph** (installed with `Install-Module PSQuickGraph`)
+- The module manifest is `PSGraph/PSQuickGraph.psd1` — update `CmdletsToExport` and `ModuleVersion` as needed
+- Vega visualization templates (JSON, HTML) are embedded in `PSGraph.Vega.Extensions/Assets/`
+- Do not directly modify `PSGraph.Common` types that are part of the public NuGet API without bumping the package version
