# Copilot Prompt Template

Generate a prompt to send to GitHub Copilot on the Fidelity development machine.

The prompt should be self-contained because Copilot will not have this workspace's memory unless the prompt includes it.

Requirements:

- Use precise senior-engineer language
- Include only relevant context
- Include Jira ID and approved title when available
- Tell Copilot what to inspect before changing code
- Make constraints explicit
- Specify whether the desired result is:
  - investigation
  - implementation plan
  - code change
  - review
  - test strategy
  - PR/story text
- Include expected output format
- Include validation requirements
- Avoid overloading the prompt with unrelated workspace history

Default output format:

```text
Role:

Project context:

Task:

Relevant ticket/context:
