> Is there more we can add to the AI conventions markdown in the repo to guide the Agent to make fewer mistaken assumptions?
Forgive my ignorance, but is this just a file you're adding to the context of every agent turn or this a formal convention in the VS code copilot agent? And I'm curious if there's any resources you used to determine the structure of that document or if it was just a refinement over time based on mistakes the AI was repeating?
I just finished writing one. It is essentially the onboarding doc for your project.
It is the same stuff you'd tell a new developer on your team: here are the design docs, here are the tools, the code, and this is how you build and test, and here are the parts you might get hung up on.
In hindsight, it is the doc I should have already written.
