Description: Agents modifying low-level layers (e.g. _file) were not running tests for higher-level layers that depend on them, causing regressions like TestAddAuthor.test_append to slip through undetected. Changes usethis-python-test-affected-find skill (v1.0 → v1.1) Added an explicit step to check .importlinter before identifying tests to run Added "Use the layered architecture to scope test impact" section with the full layer stack from [importlinter:contract:usethis] and the rule: when modifying a layer, run tests for every layer above it too Updated "File I/O and serialization changes" to reference the layer-scoping rule rather than vague "identify which tools" guidance The layer hierarchy (lowest → highest): _pipeweld → _types|errors|_fallback → _config → _subprocess|_console|_python → _file → _backend → _integrations → _config_file → _deps → _detect → _init → _tool → _core → _toolset → _ui → _test|__main__ Modifying _file (e.g. TOMLFileManager) requires running tests all the way up through _core, _ui, etc. — not just tests/usethis/_file/. 💡 You can make Copilot smarter by setting up custom instructions, customizing its development environment and configuring Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers.
