Copilot AI commented Dec 22, 2025

Copilot now checks all issue comments before starting implementation to capture clarifications, scope changes, and additional context that may not be in the original issue description.

Changes

  • New section "Check Issue Comments Before Implementation" added to .github/copilot-instructions.md
    • Positioned at document start to emphasize priority
    • Uses github-mcp-server-issue_read with get_comments method
    • Specifies what to look for: requirement clarifications, edge cases, scope changes, related issues
    • Includes handling for conflicting or unclear comments

Usage

github-mcp-server-issue_read
  method: get_comments
  owner: PinePeakDigital
  repo: buzz
  issue_number: 123

Copilot reads all comments, prioritizes maintainer and recent comments, and updates implementation plan accordingly before making code changes.

Original prompt

Update github copilot instructions to instruct copilot to always check all comments on issue it is assigned before proceeding with implementation
