# 🧠 Awesome Copilot Chat Modes [](https://www.linkedin.com/in/douglasfinke) [](https://x.com/dfinke) [](https://www.youtube.com/dougfinke/videos) A curated collection of custom `chatMode.md` files for VS Code — supercharge your workflows with specialized AI personas. Works with Copilot Chat in VS Code (Insiders). ## Why Awesome Copilot Chat Modes? Copilot Chat Modes are a powerful way to customize the behavior of Copilot Chat in VS Code. By creating a `chatMode.md` file, you can define a specific persona or role for Copilot Chat to adopt, tailoring the AI’s responses and capabilities to your needs. - Discover easy, ready-to-use chat modes that enhance your coding experience, improve productivity, and help you tackle specific tasks more effectively. - Learn how to create your own custom chat modes to suit your unique workflows and preferences. - Contribute to the community by sharing your own chat modes and benefiting from the collective knowledge of other prompt engineers. ## Official Documentation - [Chat mode file example](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/copilot/chat/chat-modes#_chat-mode-file-example) ## Getting Started To use any of these custom chat modes: 1. Copy the desired `.chatmode.md` file from the `/chatmodes` directory in this repository to your workspace's `.github/chatmodes` directory (create it if it doesn't exist). 2. Restart VS Code to load the new chat mode. 3. Open the Copilot Chat panel in VS Code. 4. Click the dropdown menu at the bottom of the chat panel and select your custom chat mode from the list. <img src="assets/vscode-custom-mode-selection.png" width=150> The chat mode will now be active, and Copilot Chat will respond according to the persona and instructions defined in the chosen `.chatmode.md` file. ## 🧩 Custom Chat Modes Custom chat modes define specific behaviors and tools for GitHub Copilot Chat, enabling enhanced context-aware assistance for particular tasks or workflows. > 💡 **Usage**: Create new chat modes using the command `Chat: Configure Chat Modes...`, then switch your chat mode in the Chat input from _Agent_ or _Ask_ to your own mode. | Title | Description |Stable|Insiders| | ----- | ----------- |----- |------- | |[Bullet Points](chatmodes/bullet-points.chatmode.md) | Outputs responses as clear, concise bullet points |[](https://vscode.dev/redirect?url=vscode%3Achat-mode%2Finstall%3Furl%3Dhttps://raw.githubusercontent.com/dfinke/awesome-copilot-chatmodes/main/chatmodes/bullet-points.chatmode.md) | [](https://insiders.vscode.dev/redirect?url=vscode-insiders%3Achat-mode%2Finstall%3Furl%3Dhttps://raw.githubusercontent.com/dfinke/awesome-copilot-chatmodes/main/chatmodes/bullet-points.chatmode.md) | |[Claude Code System](chatmodes/claude-code-system.chatmode.md) | Claude-inspired code assistant persona |[](https://vscode.dev/redirect?url=vscode%3Achat-mode%2Finstall%3Furl%3Dhttps://raw.githubusercontent.com/dfinke/awesome-copilot-chatmodes/main/chatmodes/claude-code-system.chatmode.md) | [](https://insiders.vscode.dev/redire
