Description

https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_93#_code-generation-instructions

You can have code generation instructions now in VSCode, which looks like a similar concept that we are adopting with the pre-defined prompts to tell Copilot Spring- and/or project specific things. Probably worth to look into the new feature of VSCode to see how we can benefit from that.

Research direction

Start with the linked VS Code 1.93 code-generation-instructions update, then locate the project's existing pre-defined prompt implementation. Compare the VS Code feature with the current Spring- and project-specific prompt approach, and document whether it offers a useful integration or follow-up change.
