FAQPage Schema
How do I create custom agent instructions and hooks in VS Code?▼

You create custom agent instructions and hooks by generating configuration files with correct YAML frontmatter in the .github/agents directory. This manages the lifecycle, validation, and execution of project-specific agent behaviors and tool restrictions.

Why are my custom AI agent instructions or prompts being ignored?▼

Custom AI agent instructions are ignored when there are YAML frontmatter syntax errors or incorrect file placement. Troubleshooting these configuration files ensures your AI assistant validates and executes the intended behaviors correctly.

How do I restrict tool access for an AI agent in VS Code?▼

You restrict tool access for an AI agent by defining tool restrictions within project-specific customization files. This configuration enforces deterministic workflows by limiting the agent's available actions, such as restricting access to search and read only.

What is the correct file placement for VS Code agent customization files?▼

The correct file placement for VS Code agent customization files is the .github/agents directory. Proper file placement ensures optimal agent discovery and execution, allowing the AI assistant to load instructions, prompts, and hooks reliably.

Does agent configuration require valid YAML frontmatter for lifecycle hooks?▼

Yes, agent configuration requires valid YAML frontmatter syntax for lifecycle hooks and custom modes. Correct syntax validation is critical to prevent configuration friction and ensure the AI assistant behaves exactly as intended during automation workflows.
