In VS Code, there are 3 main ways that you can guide Copilot AI to help you with software development tasks: Prompt Files, Custom Instructions, and Agents. Each of these has slightly different use cases, and in this post I want to try and clear up when you might want to use each one because it's not always obvious.

When you need to call tools from the shell, use this rubric:
fdfd -p <file-path>fd . <directory>fd -e <extension> <pattern>rg (ripgrep)ast-grep| import { useState, useEffect } from 'preact/hooks'; | |
| const cache = new Map<string, any>(); | |
| const inflight = new Map<string, Promise<any>>(); | |
| export interface SWRResponse<T> { | |
| data: T | undefined; | |
| error: Error | null; | |
| loading: boolean; | |
| } |
You can auto-approve tool calls and terminal commands in Copilot’s Agent mode.
