copilot-instructions

To generate Copilot instructions, analyze your codebase's tech stack, conventions, and testing approaches to create an actionable, example-rich .github/copilot-instructions.md file. This ensures consistent guidance across your projects and teams.

Copilot instructions are repository-specific guidelines in a .github/copilot-instructions.md file that provide consistent setup, convention, and code style guidance. You need them when using GitHub Copilot across multiple languages and frameworks to ensure standardized AI assistance.

Yes, you can apply Copilot instructions across multiple languages and frameworks. The generation process analyzes your specific tech stack, file conventions, import patterns, and component structure to tailor guidelines for each project's unique requirements.

To update existing Copilot guidelines, re-analyze your current codebase to extract the latest file conventions, import patterns, and code styles. This updates your .github/copilot-instructions.md file with actionable, example-rich instructions reflecting new patterns and edge cases.

The best way to structure Copilot instructions is to document your tech stack, file conventions, import patterns, component structure, code style, and testing approaches. This creates an actionable, example-rich .github/copilot-instructions.md file for consistent guidance.

Copilot suggestions may ignore your code style if you lack standardized guidance. Creating a .github/copilot-instructions.md file with extracted codebase conventions, component structure, and testing approaches ensures AI suggestions align with your project requirements.
