Writing Prompts

Writing prompt files (GitHub Copilot)

VS Code–style prompt files (invoked from chat, often via /) can live under llm/prompts/ as Markdown. Sync copies them into .github/prompts/ using Copilot’s *.prompt.md naming.

Layout

llm/prompts/
├── README.md           # optional; not synced
├── review.md           # → .github/prompts/review.prompt.md
└── ship.prompt.md      # → .github/prompts/ship.prompt.md (name preserved)

• Source file name.md becomes name.prompt.md in the output directory.
• Source file name.prompt.md is copied as name.prompt.md (no double suffix).

Format

Use normal Markdown (and frontmatter if your Copilot version supports it for prompts). See Use prompt files in VS Code for current product behavior.

When sync runs

Prompts are emitted only if copilot is in platforms. After editing llm/prompts/, run bluetemberg sync (or your sync:llm-config script).
