GitHub Copilot Prompt Generator for Finance

GitHub Copilot works best with a ticket-style prompt: a clear goal, the context it can't see, numbered requirements, constraints and acceptance criteria it can check its own work against.

Every prompt is built from the same modular parts — role, task, context (your audience and details) and output format — then rendered in the style each AI follows best. Change the AI in the drop-down and the same request is rewritten instantly.

• Open the relevant files first — Copilot Chat uses your open editors as context.
• Reference code with #file or ask in agent mode so Copilot can search the workspace.
• Ask for tests together with the implementation.

Choose a prompt type for finance; each comes with an expert role, context rules and an output format:

• Personal finance tracker — for example “an expense tracker that works offline”.

Example output for GitHub Copilot:

You are a senior full-stack engineer who writes clean, secure, tested, production-ready code.

## Goal

3. Budgets with alerts
4. CSV import and export

## Constraints
