GitHub Copilot Custom Instructions
Configure repository-specific instructions for GitHub Copilot.
Quick Start
Create .github/copilot-instructions.md in your repository:
markdown
# Copilot Instructions
## Code Style
- Use TypeScript with strict mode
- Prefer functional components with hooks
- Use Tailwind CSS for styling
## Project Context
This is a Next.js 14 app using the App Router.
API routes are in `app/api/`.Effective Patterns
Project Context
markdown
# Project Context
## Tech Stack
- Next.js 14 with App Router
- TypeScript 5.3+
- Tailwind CSS 3.4
- Prisma ORM with PostgreSQL
## Architecture
- `app/` - Next.js App Router pages and API routes
- `components/` - React components
- `lib/` - Utility functions and shared code
- `prisma/` - Database schema and migrationsCode Standards
markdown
# Code Standards
## TypeScript
- Enable strict mode
- Prefer `interface` over `type` for object shapes
- Use explicit return types on functions
## React
- Use functional components exclusively
- Prefer named exports
- Extract hooks to `hooks/` directory
## Error Handling
- Use Result pattern for fallible operations
- Always handle async errors with try/catch
- Log errors with structured formatNaming Conventions
markdown
# Naming Conventions
## Files
- Components: PascalCase (Button.tsx)
- Utilities: camelCase (formatDate.ts)
- Constants: SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE
## Code
- Boolean variables: is*, has*, should* prefix
- Event handlers: handle* prefix (handleClick)
- Async functions: *Async suffixTesting
markdown
# Testing Guidelines
## Unit Tests
- Use Vitest for unit testing
- Place tests next to source files (*.test.ts)
- Mock external dependencies
## Test Patternsdescribe('Component', () => { it('should render correctly', () => { // Arrange, Act, Assert pattern }); });
API Patterns
markdown
# API Patterns
## Route Handlers// Standard response format return NextResponse.json({ data: result, error: null, meta: { timestamp: Date.now() } });
// Error response return NextResponse.json( { data: null, error: { code: 'NOT_FOUND', message: '...' } }, { status: 404 } );
## Validation
- Use Zod for request validation
- Validate early, fail fastDo's and Don'ts
markdown
# Guidelines
## Do
- Write self-documenting code
- Add JSDoc comments for public APIs
- Use meaningful variable names
## Don't
- Use `any` type
- Leave console.log in production code
- Commit sensitive dataFile Location
The file must be at .github/copilot-instructions.md (not in root).
