+# GitHub Copilot Instructions for InfluxData Documentation
+
+GitHub Copilot should assist with writing and styling InfluxData documentation according to the following guidelines:
+
+## Documentation Overview
+
+- Documentation covers InfluxDB and associated products (Telegraf, client libraries)
+- Primary documentation site: https://docs.influxdata.com
+- Source repository: https://github.com/influxdata/docs-v2
+- Hugo static site generator is used to build the documentation
+
+## Products and Query Languages
+
+When working with product-specific content, identify the appropriate product from:
+
+- InfluxDB OSS (1.x, 2.x, 3 Core)
+- InfluxDB Enterprise
+- InfluxDB Cloud variants (TSM, Dedicated, Serverless)
+- InfluxDB 3 Clustered
+- Telegraf
+
+Identify appropriate query language (SQL, InfluxQL, Flux) based on product version.
+
+## Style Standards
+
+- Follow Google Developer Documentation style guidelines
+- For REST API references, follow YouTube Data API style
+- Use semantic line feeds (one sentence per line) for easier diff comparison
+- Use only h2-h6 headings in content (h1 comes from frontmatter)
+- Image naming format: `project/version-context-description.png`
+
+## Markdown Conventions
+
+- Use standard Markdown for most content
+- Include proper frontmatter for each page (title, description, weight, etc.)
+- Use available shortcodes for notes, warnings, tabbed content, and other special formatting
+- Observe semantic line feeds (one sentence per line)
+- Use proper heading hierarchy (h2-h6 only)
+
+## Shortcodes
+
+Help use the following shortcodes appropriately:
+
+- Notes and warnings: `{{% note %}}` and `{{% warn %}}`
+- Product-specific content: `{{% enterprise %}}`, `{{% cloud %}}`
+- Tabbed content: `{{< tabs-wrapper >}}`, `{{% tabs %}}`, `{{% tab-content %}}`
+- Latest version links: `{{< latest >}}`, `{{< latest-patch >}}`
+- API endpoints: `{{< api-endpoint >}}`
+- Required elements: `{{< req >}}`
+- Navigation: `{{< page-nav >}}`
+- Diagrams: `{{< diagram >}}`, `{{< filesystem-diagram >}}`
+
+## Page Frontmatter
+
+Assist with creating appropriate frontmatter that includes:
+
+```yaml
+title: # Title of the page (h1)
+seotitle: # Page title for SEO
+list_title: # Title for article lists
+description: # Page description for SEO
+menu:
+  product_version:
+weight: # Page sort order (follow level structure: 1-99, 101-199, etc.)
+```
+
+## Testing Code Blocks
+
+When writing code examples, add appropriate testing annotations:
+
+```python
+print("Hello, world!")
+```
+
+<!--pytest-codeblocks:expected-output-->
+```
+Hello, world!
+```
+
+## InfluxDB-specific Conventions
+
+- Use appropriate product names and versions consistently
+- Link to canonical documentation where appropriate
+- Follow InfluxData vocabulary and terminology guidelines
+
+## Pre-commit hooks
+
+- Assist with Vale.sh linter configurations
+- Assist with Dockerfile and Docker Compose files
+- Assist with using pytest and pytest-codeblocks
