Microsoft is rolling out a new feature called Copilot Memories in Visual Studio that helps developers automatically capture and recall coding preferences and project guidelines, reducing repetitive tasks and inconsistencies. The AI-powered capability learns how teams like to work and prompts users to confirm when it detects new patterns or updates, making collaboration smoother and onboarding easier.

Here’s how it helps:

Learns how you work
Copilot Memories continuously learns your team’s coding preferences as you prompt. No more repeated reminders or searching through old messages—Copilot remembers what matters so you don’t have to.
You stay in control
Every time Copilot wants to save or update a memory, you’ll get a clear confirmation. Review, accept, or tweak it before anything is stored. Nothing happens without your say-so.
Organised where you expect it
Preferences can be saved to your personal file (%USERPROFILE%/copilot-instructions.md) or to a repo-level file (/.github/copilot-instructions.md). Copilot intelligently updates or creates these files for you.
Better consistency, faster onboarding
Projects become easier to maintain and quicker to onboard. New developers instantly see “how we do things here,” while experienced teams save time by letting Copilot handle the details.
