New Collection: Context Engineering — Help Copilot Help You

[vfaraji89]

Hey everyone 👋

I just submitted PR #676 adding a Context Engineering collection — a set of tools focused on a simple idea: Copilot's output is only as good as the context it receives.
challenges:
The relevant files weren't open
The project structure obscures intent
Multi-file changes are requested without the full picture

What This Collection Includes

Component | What It Does -- | -- Context Architect (agent) | Before touching code, maps all affected files, traces dependencies, checks for patterns, and plans the sequence of changes Context Map (prompt) | Generates a structured table of files to modify, dependencies, test coverage, and risk assessment before any change What Context Do You Need? (prompt) | When Copilot gives a generic answer, this asks it to explicitly list the files it needs to see Refactor Plan (prompt) | For multi-file refactors — produces phased execution plans with verification steps and rollback procedures Context Engineering (instructions) | Repo-wide guidelines: use descriptive paths, keep related files open, prefer explicit types, add a COPILOT.md
