+By supplying Copilot with detailed project context, instructions files significantly improve the relevance and accuracy of its code suggestions. For example, if your project uses Django, FastAPI, or Flask, Copilot can generate components that follow your preferred structure, use modern Python features, and adhere to your naming conventions. This leads to more consistent code and reduces the need for manual corrections or lengthy code reviews. Instructions files also enhance Copilot’s ability to generate meaningful tests and documentation. With the right context, Copilot can suggest unit tests using unittest or pytest, integration tests with tools like requests or httpx, and even add docstrings or OpenAPI annotations to your FastAPI or Flask endpoints. When refactoring or adding new features, Copilot respects your dependency injection setup, configuration patterns, and error-handling strategies, making it a smarter and more reliable assistant.
