Your AI coding assistant has amnesia. Every. Single. Session. Most devs blame Copilot for "hallucinating" or "forgetting" project rules. It's not Copilot's fault. It's yours. There's ONE file that turns GitHub Copilot from a generic autocomplete into an assistant that actually knows your codebase: .github/copilot-instructions.md Copilot reads it automatically. Before every task. Every chat. Every session. Most developers don't even know it exists. In Part 3 of my series, I break down: → The "law of your project" file Copilot reads before every prompt → Why Copilot can't see half your context (and the 2-click fix) → The session log trick that eliminates "where did we leave off?" forever → How to grow an instructions file from 0 to 60 battle-tested rules Every rule in a mature instructions file is a scar. A mistake that cost you hours. Now it costs AI zero.
