Module 7: Advanced Techniques

  1. @ file mentions — Always give precise context, don't rely on the AI finding files

    • @src/auth.ts — single file
    • @src/components/ — directory listing
    • "Fix @src/auth.ts to match @tests/auth.test.ts" — multi-file context

  2. ! shell bypass — !git log --oneline -5 runs instantly, no AI overhead

  3. /research — Run a deep research investigation using GitHub search and web sources

  4. /resume + --continue — Session continuity across CLI launches

  5. /compact — Compress history when context gets large (auto at 95%)

    • Check with /context first
    • Best used at natural task boundaries
    • Warning signs: AI contradicting earlier statements, token usage >80%

  6. /context — Visualize what's eating your token budget

  7. Custom instructions precedence (highest to lowest):

    • CLAUDE.md / GEMINI.md / AGENTS.md (git root + cwd)
    • .github/instructions/**/*.instructions.md (path-specific!)
    • .github/copilot-instructions.md
    • ~/.copilot/copilot-instructions.md
    • COPILOT_CUSTOM_INSTRUCTIONS_DIRS (additional directories via env var)

  8. Path-specific instructions:

    • .github/instructions/backend.instructions.md with applyTo: "src/api/**"
    • Different coding standards for different parts of the codebase

  9. LSP config — ~/.copilot/lsp-config.json or .github/lsp.json

  10. /review — Get code review without leaving terminal

  11. --allow-all / --yolo — Full trust mode (use responsibly!)

  12. Ctrl+T — Watch the AI think (learn its reasoning patterns)
