Developers Apply Context Engineering To Improve Copilot
Christina Warren of GitHub explains context engineering and its three practical techniques—custom instructions, reusable prompts, and custom agents—highlighted by Microsoft’s Harald Kirschner at GitHub Universe this past fall. The article details how teams can supply Copilot with coding conventions, task-specific prompts, and agent personas to improve accuracy and consistency. Adopting these practices reduces rework and speeds onboarding across repositories and development workflows.
