I've been using copilot. Potential is there but getting a result is more art than science. I've found it helpful to document desired workflows in readmes and ask for unit tests then run unit tests until it works out.

  • use a premium model like sonnet and put it in agent mode
  • Ask it to review the project
  • ask it to review the ticket/requirements
  • ask it to research existing solutions and write a design document that meets the requirements with high certainty
  • Let it write the document and make sure it stays on task
  • review the output and send build errors back, roll forward or undo the code and re-submit
  • identify what works and reduce scope
