Read .claude/rules #4440

Description

@dybber

Describe the feature or problem you'd like to solve

We use both Claude and CoPilot and we currently need to duplicate instructions between .github/instructions/**/*.instructions.md and .claude/rules

Proposed solution

Support reading .claude/rules. Perhaps also .agents/rules - hopefully we can move to a vendor agnostic location for these files at some point.

If you already read them, then update the documentation here where it is not mentioned that these locations are read: https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/how-tos/copilot-cli/customize-copilot/add-custom-instructions
