Managing in a mono-repository: Does it support scoping certain packages/skills etc into subfolders?

[olejsc]

Hi.

Assume I have a huge monorepository.
We're talking all kinds of projects, rust, dotnet, typescript etc.
say 50+ unique, projects. Each require their own copilot-instruction(s) (probably).

My understanding is using APM is repository wide, and for example skills / plugins etc are installed in root of git repository.

My question is:

• Can install location in repo be customized on a per package basis (preferably multiple paths..)?
• Can github copilot adjust to use the correct packages, and ignore the repo-root? This might connect to whichever "workspace" the user has in their IDE. For example, a user may have a .Net solution open in visual studio / or visual studio code, but we really dont want to bloat context with skills and other auto-loaded instructions about a folder with rust projects.

The primary concern is a to huge instructions file initially, and scope the conversations / agentic AI to only use the context in "current workspace folder", not current git repository root.

I'ev read https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/179916
regarding github copilot spaces, but spaces is SEPERATE from code. Spaces is not an option.
