Copilot Profiles

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

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

Features

Source Folder Management

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

Instruction Set Selection

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

File Selection

Select specific .md files within a set to include. Files can be reused across multiple sets 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-Set Support

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

Persistent State

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

Sample Set Generator

Quickly generate a sample Source Folder with example sets and files to see how everything works out of the box.
