I am writing to propose a new feature for the GitHub Copilot Chat VSCode extension that I believe would significantly enhance its usability and functionality.
The feature I am suggesting is the ability to set customizable built-in prompts, similar to the prompt functionality in ChatGPT. This would allow users to predefine a context or role for the AI, such as "You are an Android development expert", and the AI would then respond to queries from that perspective. This could be a detailed description, setting the stage for the AI's responses.
The benefit of this feature is twofold. Firstly, it would allow users to receive more focused and reliable responses, as the AI would be operating within a specific domain of knowledge. Secondly, it would provide a more personalized and interactive experience, as users could tailor the AI's responses to their specific needs and interests.
I believe this feature would greatly enhance the utility of the GitHub Copilot Chat extension, making it an even more powerful tool for developers. I hope you will consider implementing this feature in a future update.
