# 🤖 Awesome GitHub Copilot Customizations
Enhance your GitHub Copilot experience with community-contributed instructions, prompts, and configurations. Get consistent AI assistance that follows your team's coding standards and project requirements.
## 🎯 GitHub Copilot Customization Features
GitHub Copilot provides three main ways to customize AI responses and tailor assistance to your specific workflows, team guidelines, and project requirements:
| **📋 [Custom Instructions](#-custom-instructions)** | **🎯 [Reusable Prompts](#-reusable-prompts)** | **🧩 [Custom Chat Modes](#-custom-chat-modes)** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Define common guidelines for tasks like code generation, reviews, and commit messages. Describe *how* tasks should be performed
**Benefits:**
• Automatic inclusion in every chat request
• Repository-wide consistency
• Multiple implementation options | Create reusable, standalone prompts for specific tasks. Describe *what* should be done with optional task-specific guidelines
**Benefits:**
• Eliminate repetitive prompt writing
• Shareable across teams
• Support for variables and dependencies | Define chat behavior, available tools, and codebase interaction patterns within specific boundaries for each request
**Benefits:**
• Context-aware assistance
• Tool configuration
• Role-specific workflows |
> **💡 Pro Tip:** Custom instructions only affect Copilot Chat (not inline code completions). You can combine all three customization types - use custom instructions for general guidelines, prompt files for specific tasks, and chat modes to control the interaction context.
## 📝 Contributing
We welcome contributions! Please see our [Contributing Guide](./CONTRIBUTING.md) for details on how to submit new instructions and prompts.
