Cool!

I just spent last night working with Cursor and Claude Code, both support different styles of custom rules.

Then I got to work and was lamenting what my corp sponsored Copilot can't do the same - but turns out it can! :D

EDIT: Just tried it and Copilot is completely clueless. It can explain the file, but doesn't know how to generate one. Claude generates its own CLAUDE.md on startup. Cursor can create its own rulefiles pretty well, even better if you add a rule for generating rules.

I have had success with having copilot generate the file for me with no issues. I use sonnet 3.5 or 3.7. I start by writing a paragraph describing the project and it does pretty well.
