How to use this file

  • Keep project-specific Copilot Chat and code-generation hints here.
  • Reference this file from your VS Code settings under github.copilot.chat.codeGeneration.instructions.
  • Example settings entry (workspace or machine level):
"github.copilot.chat.codeGeneration.instructions": [

Notes

  • Prefer storing the instructions in this file rather than embedding long text entries in settings.json — it avoids schema warnings and is easier to edit and version.
  • After updating settings, reload/restart VS Code or the Codespace for changes to take effect.

Feel free to expand this file with repo-specific guidelines (build commands, tests, conventions, API keys handling, or platform constraints). Keep it concise and actionable.
