GitHub publishes beginner guide for teaching Copilot about a codebase
1. Add a repository instructions file describing your architecture, conventions, and build and test commands. 2. Define reusable custom instructions or skills for tasks your team repeats often. 3. Configure a custom agent with only the tool access the specific task requires. 4. Connect an MCP server such as Playwright to give Copilot browser-automation capability.
