GitHub Copilot Prompt Helper

Copilot writes better code when you give it language & framework, a concrete task, context about existing code and conventions, and clear requirements (error handling, types, tests). Fill those in below and get a prompt formatted for an inline comment or Copilot Chat.
Your Copilot prompt
Frequently asked questions
How do I write a good GitHub Copilot prompt?
State language/framework, describe the task concretely, give context about existing code and conventions, and list requirements (error handling, types, tests). Specific beats vague.
Inline vs Copilot Chat prompting?
Inline uses a comment above where you want code — best for one block. Chat takes a fuller request and can explain, refactor, or work across files.
Why does context help?
Copilot predicts from surrounding context and your prompt. Naming the framework, patterns, and constraints narrows it to the code you actually want.
