AI Notes
I want to keep some scattered AI notes here...
2025-05-01 VS Code Agent Mode
VS Code Agent Mode Just Changed Everything - YouTube
Use agent mode in the chat
Use #fetch and ask it to follow instructions
Hit keep all when it does stuff
8m - .github/copilot-instructions.md for custom copilot instructions + project requirements
10m - MCP server to talk to Postgres
13m30s - edit suggestions
burkeholland.github.io
My turn
Made vscode-agent-01
Asked it to create the project; it had trouble installing Go dependencies, so I did that and told it to continue.
It wrote some stuff and I had it generate a test and that was wrong
It seems to get stuck if a command fails, like installing dependencies and fixing test errors.
But I'm still able to fix things manually and tell it to keep going
Fri 2025-05-16 Coercing Copilot
Ok, I'm trying to get Copilot to update warg for all my apps.
I tried asking it to fetch from Github but that didn't work. Tyring the githubRepo tool with a custom prompt.
https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_100#_search-code-of-a-github-repository-with-the-githubrepo-tool
Ok, in agent mode, I can now run /update_warg to do this.
TODO: back up prompts!
Maybe it's my shell, but it's still having issues continuing after a command has finished. So run these manually:
go mod edit -go=1.24
go get -u ./...
hahaha hit the rate limit:
Ok, stopped at shovel. I need to check the version subcommand and color flag on earlier migrated ones. But the fact I was able to have copilot update so many of these with the prompt file is awesome!
Prompt ( /home/bbkane/.config/Code/User/prompts/update_warg.prompt.md):
---
mode: 'agent'
tools: ['githubRepo', 'codebase']
description: 'Update this repo to latest warg API'
---
Please update all files in this repo using the new warg APIs.
For reference, see #githubRepo bbkane/warg , especially the CHANGELOG.md, README.md files and the files in the examples directory.
If needed, also update the Go version in this project to go 1.24
Make sure to use `section.CommandMap(warg.VersionCommandMap()),` to add a version command and `warg.GlobalFlagMap(warg.ColorFlagMap()),` to add a `--color` flag.
Tue 2025-07-01 Project prompts
Project prompts are stored in in ./github/prompts
Create with > Chat: New Prompt file. Note: if you copy a file instead of using this, Copilot can't fnd the prompt. So always use this.
Run by clicking copilot, switching to agent, typing /filename
Example in acm:
---
mode: edit
tools: ['codebase']
---
