https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-js/tree/main/.github - Looking at the structure, the previous links are correct, if it has to be relative to the agent file.

Describe the problem that is addressed by this PR
Custom agent profiles linked their detailed guidelines with paths relative to
.github/agents, such as../prompts/architecture-review-guidelines.md. The Copilot App resolves agent-profile links from the repository root, so those links were interpreted asprompts/...and the guidelines failed to load.This PR uses repository-root-relative
.github/prompts/...targets in every affected agent profile and documents that resolver behavior.What are the possible designs available to address the problem? If there are more than one possible design, why was the one in this PR chosen?
The prompt files could be moved or duplicated under a root-level
prompts/directory, but that would split or relocate the existing canonical guidance. Repository-root-relative links preserve the current layout and match the Copilot App resolver.Are there test cases added in this PR? (If not, why?)
No automated tests were added because this is Markdown-based agent configuration. All nine links were checked against existing repository files, and a newly launched Archie agent successfully loaded
