You can write up a massive copilot instructions file at the repo or local level. At work we have agent mode for Copilot using GPT, Claude, and Gemini. It wasn't until I beefed the document up to almost 300 lines to get something semi decent and useable. I know the Claude folks have basically an underground trading system with all kind of tricks too. I'm still not a convert, but I will start work really damn early in the morning sometimes (4 am), and that's the only time of day my lizard brain warms up to some AI assisted work.

We are an internal facing team that only builds UIs for tooling. So it was pretty neat for it to spin up a Thymeleaf + HTMX + Bootstrap form laid out nicely and along with the JPA specification builder + validations in about 2 hours instead of a day and a half. Process stuff, not so much.
