FAQPage Schema
How do I create reusable VS Code Copilot prompts for slash commands?

VS Code Copilot prompts are reusable slash commands defined in `.prompt.md` files with YAML frontmatter and Markdown structure. They scope tools and variables to guide AI-assisted development tasks like code generation or review.

What is the frontmatter schema for VS Code Copilot prompt files?

The frontmatter schema for `.prompt.md` files defines metadata for VS Code Copilot prompts, including agent modes, tool scoping, and variables. This YAML structure ensures slash commands are discoverable and operationally effective.

How do I improve existing Copilot prompt patterns in VS Code?

Improve existing Copilot prompt patterns by evaluating `.prompt.md` files for clarity, tool scoping, and variable usage. Refining naming conventions and Markdown structure enhances operational effectiveness and discovery for AI-assisted development.

What are the best practices for naming VS Code Copilot slash commands?

Best practices for naming VS Code Copilot slash commands involve using clear conventions that ensure prompt discovery and operational effectiveness. Well-named `.prompt.md` files help developers quickly locate and execute reusable AI assistance patterns.

Can I scope specific tools within VS Code Copilot prompt files?

Yes, you can scope specific tools within VS Code Copilot prompt files. Configuring tool scoping in the YAML frontmatter of `.prompt.md` files restricts the AI agent's access to only the necessary tools for a given task.

When should I use agent modes in VS Code Copilot prompts?

Use agent modes in VS Code Copilot prompts when defining `.prompt.md` files for complex AI-assisted development tasks. Agent modes allow the prompt to leverage specific tool scoping and variables for operations like code generation, review, or summarization.
