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<br><br>**Benefits:**<br>• Automatic inclusion in every chat request<br>• Repository-wide consistency<br>• Multiple implementation options | Create reusable, standalone prompts for specific tasks. Describe *what* should be done with optional task-specific guidelines<br><br>**Benefits:**<br>• Eliminate repetitive prompt writing<br>• Shareable across teams<br>• Support for variables and dependencies | Define chat behavior, available tools, and codebase interaction patterns within specific boundaries for each request<br><br>**Benefits:**<br>• Context-aware assistance<br>• Tool configuration<br>• 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.`,
instructionsSection: `## 📋 Custom Instructions
Team and project-specific instructions to enhance GitHub Copilot's behavior for specific technologies and coding practices:`,
instructionsUsage: `> 💡 **Usage**: Copy these instructions to your \`.github/copilot-instructions.md\` file or create task-specific \`.github/.instructions.md\` files in your workspace's \`.github/instructions\` folder.`,
promptsSection: `## 🎯 Reusable Prompts
Ready-to-use prompt templates for specific development scenarios and tasks, defining prompt text with a specific mode, model, and available set of tools.`,
promptsUsage: `> 💡 **Usage**: Use \`/prompt-name\` in VS Code chat, run \`Chat: Run Prompt\` command, or hit the run button while you have a prompt open.`,
chatmodesSection: `## 🧩 Custom Chat Modes
Custom chat modes define specific behaviors and tools for GitHub Copilot Chat, enabling enhanced context-aware assistance for particular tasks or workflows.`,
chatmodesUsage: `> 💡 **Usage**: Create new chat modes using the command \`Chat: Configure Chat Modes...\`, then switch your chat mode in the Chat input from _Agent_ or _Ask_ to your own mode.`,

## 🛠️ Development Configuration
This repository uses various configuration files to ensure consistent code style and avoid issues with line endings:
- [\`.editorconfig\`](.editorconfig) - Defines coding styles across different editors and IDEs
- [\`.gitattributes\`](.gitattributes) - Ensures consistent line endings in text files
- [\`.vscode/settings.json\`](.vscode/settings.json) - VS Code-specific settings for this repository
- [\`.vscode/extensions.json\`](.vscode/extensions.json) - Recommended VS Code extensions
> 💡 **Note**: All markdown files in this repository use LF line endings (Unix-style) to avoid mixed line endings issues. The repository is configured to automatically handle line endings conversion.
