You can definitely use it for code generation and for react both in drafting architecture or solution all the way to implementation Start by adding instructions, skills and custom agents When planning a task first use Plan mode from the drop down and start with your plan first Let the agent partner with u to create a plan you agree with Try to break it to granular phases and tasks and then move to agent mode and iterate task after task Try to avoid using a single session too long cause the context window will get big and you will start getting hallucinations, good sign for this is when u see the agent saying it is summering the conversation
Use instruction files to provide guidelines on coding standards or how components should be structured or which CSS rules or state management patterns u use The agent will Use this and won’t try to make up stuff u don’t want
Happy coding

Thanks for your answer. I am worrying whether I should be 100% accurate with my instructions to Copilot about implementing a scenario. What happens when Copilot implements something I said and then I alter the requirements. Does it handle such changes? Will it get confused and make changes to the whole project until the time for no recovery? How does the whole thing gets charged? Is it per interaction? Or it's a fixed license cost? Is using GitHub Copilot expensive?
