Description
Describe the feature or problem you'd like to solve
publish an official JSON Schema for ~/.copilot/settings.json
Proposed solution
Please publish an official JSON Schema for ~/.copilot/settings.json.
The file has a growing number of settings, but editors currently can't provide reliable autocomplete, descriptions, or validation (although acknowledging this is configurable via the CLI itself under /config /settings , it would just additional quality of life enhancement to have schema available if prefer to edit inline the settings.json directly for some key/value validation)
Similar tools, including Claude Code, publish schemas for their settings files, which makes configuration much easier to discover and edit correctly.
Proposed solution:
Provide a maintained JSON Schema for ~/.copilot/settings.json, ideally available through SchemaStore.

Research direction
Start by inventorying the settings exposed through the CLI's /config and /settings commands, then compare them with the ~/.copilot/settings.json configuration. Done means a maintained official JSON Schema provides setting descriptions, autocomplete, and validation, with publication through SchemaStore considered.
