GitHub Copilot-Specific Configuration

Overview

GitHub Copilot reads configuration from:

  1. .github/copilot-instructions.md - Main instructions file
  2. .ai/config/shared/ - Shared instructions and guidelines (referenced)

Copilot-Specific Features

GitHub Copilot works best with:

  • Inline code suggestions
  • Code completion based on context
  • Instructions provided in .github/copilot-instructions.md

Limitations

  • No MCP support (as of current version)
  • No agent/sub-agent support
  • No custom command/skill invocation

Additional Notes

Copilot instructions file includes inline copy of key guidelines for quick access, since Copilot may not follow file references as reliably as other tools.
