Getting around prompt input limits in copilot
- keithnoizu 3y agoI came across a nice little solution in copilot X and copilot 365/pro for including and referencing custom instructions to add behavior/formatting support to copilot (e.g. edit mode, article writing mode, documentation writting mode etc.)
- ano-ther 3y agoNeat! How do you get copilot to use these instructions? Can you define a “default include” somewhere?
- keithnoizu 3y agocopilot scans open files so I mention the file name in my prompt or reference the file explicitly using the reference file option in the chat window in the intellij copilot chat beta. ``` Follow the instructions for preparing responses from the COPILOT.md file in how you answer and format your answer to the following prompt. <whatever my request was> ```
- ano-ther 3y agoThank you
- keithnoizu 3y agoI feel like the explicitly go out of their away to avoid building in custom instructions/increased prompt context to lower their costs so this is a bit of a work around.
