+# Prompt Files
+
+APIOps provides [prompt files](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/copilot/copilot-customization#_reusable-prompt-files-experimental) that guide GitHub Copilot through common APIOps configuration tasks. These are reusable `.prompt.md` files that give Copilot the context it needs to help you configure extraction filters, environment overrides, and CI/CD identity setup.
+
+## What are prompt files?
+
+Prompt files are markdown files with a `.prompt.md` extension that provide instructions and context to GitHub Copilot. When you open a prompt file in VS Code and invoke Copilot, it uses the file's content as context to guide you through a task interactively.
+
+## Available prompt files
+
+| File | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `apiops-configure-filter.prompt.md` | Guides Copilot through creating a `configuration.extractor.yaml` filter file to control which API Management resources are extracted. See also: [Filtering resources guide](./filtering-resources.md) |
+| `apiops-configure-overrides.prompt.md` | Guides Copilot through creating environment override files (`configuration.<env>.yaml`) for promoting APIs across environments. See also: [Environment overrides guide](./environment-overrides.md) |
+| `apiops-setup-workflow-identity-github-actions.prompt.md` | Walks through setting up Azure identity (app registration, federated credentials, RBAC) for GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines. |
+| `apiops-setup-workflow-identity-azure-devops.prompt.md` | Walks through setting up Azure identity (app registration, federated credentials, RBAC) for Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines. |
+
+## Getting prompt files
+
+### Via `apiops init` (recommended)
+
+The easiest way to get prompt files is to run [`apiops init`](../commands/init.md), which scaffolds your repository with prompt files already in place at `.github/prompts/`.
+
+### Download individually
+
+If you already have an APIOps repository and want to add prompt files without re-running init, you can download them directly from this repository.
+
+#### Bash
+
+```bash
+# Resolve repo root so this works from any subdirectory
+repo_root="$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)"
+
+# Create the prompts directory
+mkdir -p "${repo_root}/.github/prompts"
+
+# Available prompt files — remove any you don't need
+files=(
+  "apiops-configure-filter.prompt.md"
+  "apiops-configure-overrides.prompt.md"
+  # Remove the identity setup prompt that doesn't apply to your CI provider:
+  "apiops-setup-workflow-identity-github-actions.prompt.md"
+  "apiops-setup-workflow-identity-azure-devops.prompt.md"
+)
+
+base_url="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Azure/apiops-cli/main/src/templates/copilot"
+
+for file in "${files[@]}"; do
+  curl -sL "${base_url}/${file}" -o "${repo_root}/.github/prompts/${file}"
+  echo "Downloaded ${file}"
+done
+```
+
+#### PowerShell
+
+```powershell
+# Resolve repo root so this works from any subdirectory
+$repoRoot = git rev-parse --show-toplevel
+
+# Create the prompts directory
+New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path "$repoRoot/.github/prompts" -Force | Out-Null
+
+# Available prompt files — remove any you don't need
+$files = @(
+  "apiops-configure-filter.prompt.md"
+  "apiops-configure-overrides.prompt.md"
+  # Remove the identity setup prompt that doesn't apply to your CI provider:
+  "apiops-setup-workflow-identity-github-actions.prompt.md"
+  "apiops-setup-workflow-identity-azure-devops.prompt.md"
+)
+
+$baseUrl = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Azure/apiops-cli/main/src/templates/copilot"
+
+foreach ($file in $files) {
+  Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "$baseUrl/$file" -OutFile "$repoRoot/.github/prompts/$file"
+  Write-Host "Downloaded $file"
+}
+```
