Fastest Draw in the West: Calling Custom Prompts in VS Code
Back in the dusty streets of modern coding, there's a new gunslinger in town: VS Code v1.100. And no, it's not just another shiny feature or cosmetic tweak, this one packs real firepower: named prompt files.
For the Huckleberry agent crowd, the folks who keep their tasks sharp, tools clean, and AI sidekicks at the ready, this is a genuine shift in the landscape.
What Makes This a Big Deal?
Picture this: a busy day in the code corral. Bugs need wrangling, tests are bucking out of control, and documentation's flapping wild like a saloon door in the wind.
With the new prompt files feature, you can now summon task-specific prompts by name, right inside your VS Code chat. Drop your .prompt files into the .github/prompts directory, and when the moment calls, just type /your-prompt-name into the chat. That's all it takes, your custom instructions roll out like a sheriff's decree.
No more repeating the same explanations or reinventing the wheel. It's like carrying a custom-engraved six-shooter, ready to draw at a moment's notice.
