Configuration

Review Language

Specify the language used for the prompt sent to Copilot Chat.

  "copilot-scm-code-reviewer.reviewLanguage": "auto"

Custom Prompts

You can define a custom review prompt for each language. Use {{diff}} as a placeholder for the diff content. If {{diff}} is omitted, the diff is appended at the end of the prompt. If left empty, the built-in template for that language is used.

{
  "copilot-scm-code-reviewer.reviewPrompt.en": "Review the following diff with a focus on security.\n\n{{diff}}"
}
