Autocomplete Context Priming

Developer Toolsgithub-copilot-vs-cursorcomponent_namebrief_descriptionreference_file

Copilot's autocomplete is driven by surrounding context. These structured comments act as a specification that guides completions. Cursor uses the same context plus its codebase index. The reference file hint makes both tools match your existing patterns.

Prompt
// {{component_name}} — {{brief_description}}
// Follows the pattern established in {{reference_file}}
// Uses: {{key_dependencies}}
// Props: {{prop_interface_name}} (see types file)
// State management: {{state_approach}}

// TODO: Implement {{function_name}} that:
// 1. {{step_one}}
// 2. {{step_two}}
// 3. Returns {{return_description}}
// Edge cases: {{edge_cases}}

Variables to customize
