Conversation
The modern cliagent-1.0.0 schema accepts a conversationStarters block under configuration.agentSettings alongside instructions, but the architect agent's guidance does not currently instruct authors to populate it. As a result, agents generated by the architect land in Copilot Studio with an empty starter-prompt picker and starters are missed unless the maker sets them manually via the UI. This change adds a dedicated 'Conversation Starters' section to agents/copilot-studio-architect.md documenting: - the exact YAML shape under configuration.agentSettings.conversationStarters - the title / text field convention (matches classic default-2.1.0) - guidance on count (3-6), title style, and text style - the anti-pattern of embedding starter prose inside instructions Verified round-trip: authored settings.mcs.yml with a conversationStarters block, pac copilot push succeeded, pac copilot pull returned identical YAML, compiled botdefinition.json contained all starters.

I'd want to check if we had starter prompts in classic agents, before creating new ones with the architect agent. We should do this in migrate.md |

Summary
Adds authoring guidance for
conversationStartersto the Copilot Studio Architect agent (agents/copilot-studio-architect.md).Motivation
The modern
cliagent-1.0.0schema accepts aconversationStartersblock underconfiguration.agentSettingsalongsideinstructions, but the architect agent's guidance does not currently instruct authors to populate it. As a result, agents generated by the architect land in Copilot Studio with an empty starter-prompt picker and the maker has to set them manually via the UI after every push.Empirically verified against a freshly authored CLI-authoring agent using
cliagent-1.0.0and theSonnet46model series.What changed

Documentation-only. No changes to plugin agents, commands, hooks, or scripts. The architect follows the guidance the next time it generates or edits a
