VS Code Copilot Settings Gen

v1.0.0

Build a paste-ready GitHub Copilot config — Wizard or Power Builder, with MCP, instructions, and lint.

Builds a paste-ready GitHub Copilot configuration for VS Code — covering Copilot toggles, inline suggestions, chat, agent mode, custom instructions, and MCP servers — through a clickable wizard or a power-user form. Emits .vscode/settings.json (and optionally .vscode/mcp.json, .vscode/extensions.json, and .github/copilot-instructions.md).

How to use
  • →Pick the My team preset for a balanced default — agent mode on with confirmations, instruction files enabled, telemetry at default level.
  • →Use the Wizard mode if you're new to Copilot — five to nine clicks produce a complete, working configuration.
  • →Switch the output format to JSONC to ship your settings with explanatory comments above each key — VS Code accepts both.
