Modular Copilot Profiles - A Modular Instruction Manager

Easily manage modular GitHub Copilot instruction profiles inside Visual Studio Code.

Copilot Profiles is a Visual Studio Code extension that lets you easily switch between custom instruction profiles for GitHub Copilot.

Instead of manually editing .github/copilot-instructions.md every time you want Copilot to behave differently, this extension gives you a clean, intuitive UI to pick, preview, and combine reusable .md files from configurable profiles.

Features

Source Folder Management

Browse, select, or create a Source Folder containing your instruction profiles. Each profile is simply a subfolder of markdown (.md) files representing modular Copilot instructions.

Instruction Profile Selection

Use a dropdown to choose from all available profiles. Each profile can represent a different Copilot behavior, coding style, or project context.

File Selection

Select specific .md files within a profile to include. Files can be reused across multiple profiles for maximum modularity.

Injection to .github/copilot-instructions.md

Automatically combines all selected files into a single copilot-instructions.md file in your workspace.

Multi-Profile Support

Enable multiple instruction profiles at once. All enabled files across all selected profiles will be injected together.

Persistent State

Your selected source folder, profiles, and files are saved automatically so everything is restored when you reload VS Code.

How to use

Create a Source Folder anywhere on your system.
Inside it, create subfolders, with each one representing a Profile.
Add your instruction files (.md) to the appropriate Profile folder.
In VS Code, open the Copilot Profiles sidebar and select Browse for Source Folder.
Choose the Source Folder you created.
Pick a Profile from the dropdown and click Inject.
The selected Profile's instruction files will be combined into .github/copilot-instructions.md, which GitHub Copilot automatically uses as context.
