Overview

GitHub Copilot augments Visual Studio Code, Visual Studio, and Cursor for ConnectSoft engineers—complementing Claude Code and Factory agents while code review and tests remain human-gated.

Engineers work in Visual Studio and VS Code with EditorConfig, C# tooling for .NET 10, and extensions for Azure, Docker, and Bicep—matching what Factory templates and pipelines expect.

Tooling choices stay compatible with client mandates where required, but ConnectSoft repos standardize on formats and analyzers that keep contributions consistent.

The right IDE setup removes friction—our conventions let new contributors become productive on Azure-backed .NET codebases quickly.

Why we use it:

  • Enterprise policy on suggestion acceptance
  • No secrets or credentials in prompts
  • Align with repo coding standards
  • Pair with **Azure DevOps** PR review
  • Repo-wide EditorConfig and analyzer rules
  • Azure and container tooling aligned with deployment targets
  • Debugging and profiling hooks for ASP.NET Core services
