Using Codex (GitHub Copilot)

GitHub Copilot (often powered by Codex models) is deeply integrated into editors like VS Code and provides inline code suggestions and a chat interface.

Inline Suggestions

• Context is Key: Copilot relies heavily on the files you currently have open. If you are working on a Convex backend query, ensure you have related schema files or packages/backend/AGENTS.md open in another tab to provide the AI with the necessary context.
• Triggering Skills: Copilot doesn't automatically read .agents/skills for inline completions. To get the most accurate code, write a detailed comment at the top of the file referencing the specific pattern you want to use.

Copilot Chat

• @workspace: Use the @workspace tag to ask questions about the broader repository. Copilot will index the AGENTS.md rules and use them to formulate answers.
• Rule Enforcement: When asking Copilot to generate a new file, explicitly ask it to "Follow the rules defined in AGENTS.md" to ensure it respects the workspace boundaries and uses bun instead of npm.
