I haven't used Copilot much, because people keep saying how bad it is, but generally if you add escape hatches like this without hard requirements of when the LLM can take them, they won't follow that rule in a intuitive way most of the time.

It is kind of alright, I use mostly on VS when coding C# or C++, for code completions, error analysis, check code quality and such.

As agent, or writing everything for me, not yet.

the $10 plan makes a great backup to claude or codex and the inline completions are nice

Yeah, I tried various very sane-looking instrucions file when starting to use copilot 6 months ago. Turned out it was not really useful. It mostly follows the rules anyway, but it also often forgot to. So turns out, especially with the fast turnaround with models today, it was better to just forego these instructions files.
