πŸ€– Awesome GitHub Copilot Customizations

Enhance your GitHub Copilot experience with community-contributed instructions, prompts, and chat modes. 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 Chat Modes 🎯 Reusable Prompts πŸ“‹ Custom Instructions
Define chat behavior, available tools, and codebase interaction patterns within specific boundaries for each request

Benefits:
β€’ Context-aware assistance
β€’ Tool configuration
β€’ Role-specific workflows
Create reusable, standalone prompts for specific tasks. Describe what should be done with optional task-specific guidelines

Benefits:
β€’ Eliminate repetitive prompt writing
β€’ Shareable across teams
β€’ Support for variables and dependencies
Define common guidelines for tasks like code generation, reviews, and commit messages. Describe how tasks should be performed

Benefits:
β€’ Automatic inclusion in every chat request
β€’ Repository-wide consistency
β€’ Multiple implementation options

πŸ’‘ 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.

πŸ“ Contributing

We welcome contributions! Please see our Contributing Guide for details on how to submit new instructions and prompts.

πŸ“‹ Custom Instructions

Team and project-specific instructions to enhance GitHub Copilot's behavior for specific technologies and coding practices:
