Generated Prompt
"Scan this codebase and generate an exemplars.md file that identifies high-quality, representative code examples. The exemplars should demonstrate our coding standards and patterns to help maintain consistency. Use the following approach:
1. Codebase Analysis Phase
- ${PROJECT_TYPE == "Auto-detect" ? "Automatically detect primary programming languages and frameworks by scanning file extensions and configuration files" :
Focus on ${PROJECT_TYPE} code files} - Identify files with high-quality implementation, good documentation, and clear structure
- Look for commonly used patterns, architecture components, and well-structured implementations
- Prioritize files that demonstrate best practices for our technology stack
- Only reference actual files that exist in the codebase - no hypothetical examples
2. Exemplar Identification Criteria
- Well-structured, readable code with clear naming conventions
- Comprehensive comments and documentation
- Proper error handling and validation
- Adherence to design patterns and architectural principles
- Separation of concerns and single responsibility principle
- Efficient implementation without code smells
- Representative of our standard approaches

- Brief description of what makes it exemplary
- Pattern or component type it represents ${INCLUDE_COMMENTS ? "- Key implementation details and coding principles demonstrated" : ""} ${INCLUDE_CODE_SNIPPETS ? "- Small, representative code snippet (if applicable)" : ""}
${SCAN_DEPTH == "Comprehensive" ? `### 6. Additional Documentation
- Consistency Patterns: Note consistent patterns observed across the codebase
- Architecture Observations: Document architectural patterns evident in the code
- Implementation Conventions: Identify naming and structural conventions
- Anti-patterns to Avoid: Note any areas where the codebase deviates from best practices` : ""}
${SCAN_DEPTH == "Comprehensive" ? "7" : "6"}. Output Format
Create exemplars.md with:
- Introduction explaining the purpose of the document
- Table of contents with links to categories
- Organized sections based on ${CATEGORIZATION}
- Up to ${MAX_EXAMPLES_PER_CATEGORY} exemplars per category
- Conclusion with recommendations for maintaining code quality
The document should be actionable for developers needing guidance on implementing new features consistent with existing patterns.
Important: Only include actual files from the codebase. Verify all file paths exist. Do not include placeholder or hypothetical examples. "
Expected Output
Upon running this prompt, GitHub Copilot will scan your codebase and generate an exemplars.md file containing real references to high-quality code examples in your repository, organized according to your selected parameters.
