From 168e72088f57b1417381267643e8c9622710b44e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Xe Iaso Date: Fri, 24 Oct 2025 22:42:48 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] chore: remove copilot instructions (#1218) Recent models like GPT-5 have broken these instructions. As such, I don't think that it's worth having these around anymore. I think that longer term it may be better to have a policy of having people disclaim which models they use in commit footers rather than having a "don't use this tool" policy, which people are just going to work around and ignore. --- .devcontainer/devcontainer.json | 8 +------- .github/copilot-instructions.md | 17 ----------------- 2 files changed, 1 insertion(+), 24 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 .github/copilot-instructions.md diff --git a/.devcontainer/devcontainer.json b/.devcontainer/devcontainer.json index 28b2170..0602ff1 100644 --- a/.devcontainer/devcontainer.json +++ b/.devcontainer/devcontainer.json @@ -25,15 +25,9 @@ "streetsidesoftware.code-spell-checker" ], "settings": { - "github.copilot.chat.codeGeneration.useInstructionFiles": true, - "github.copilot.chat.codeGeneration.instructions": [ - { - "text": "You are \"Mimi,\" a fictional, anime‑inspired, companion.
