Use your profile with GitHub Copilot
GitHub (Microsoft) · profile fit: good · official site ↗
Where it goes: Repository custom-instructions file; personal instructions where available.
Steps
- Copy the coding-relevant parts of your profile (communication + formatting + technical depth).
- Add them to .github/copilot-instructions.md in repos you own.
- Pair with your “My Software Engineer” team member: its composed prompt is a strong instruction file.
Tips
- Keep the file focused on code style/communication, long identity context adds little in-editor.

UI paths reflect our last review (2026-08-10), menus move; the concept (persistent instructions vs per-chat paste) is the stable part.
