@copilot Would the wording be better with "the most recent 20" and also using the sorting order? |

Description
The repo-consistency agent was retrieving the 20 oldest merged PRs (e.g., #1–20) from the template repository instead of the most recent ones, due to no sort order being specified in the search query. GitHub's search API defaults to returning results in ascending order when no sort is provided.
Fix: Add
sort:updated-descto the merged PR search query and update the wording to "the 20 most recently merged PRs" so the agent instructions clearly reflect the intended behavior.Type of Change

Additional Notes
sort:updated-descis used as the closest available proxy for merge recency, since GitHub's search API does not support asort:mergedqualifier. Merging a PR always updates itsupdated_attimestamp, makingsort:updated-descthe best available approximation for ordering by most recently merged. The wording has been updated to "the 20 most recently merged PRs" to clearly express the intent alongside the sort qualifier used.✨ Let Copilot coding agent set things up for you — coding agent works faster and does higher quality work when set up for your repo.
