Stop prompting, start delegating: Configure Copilot to own the work

Your repository’s Copilot configuration may be all that stands between you and trusting AI to handle complex tasks on its own. In this session, Ken Muse and Mickey Gousset demonstrate how to enhance a TypeScript app by layering GitHub Copilot’s full stack, showing how each capability reinforces the last.

You’ll see exactly how Copilot spends context and tokens, with before-and-after comparisons that make the efficiency gains measurable. You’ll leave with a working project and an understanding of which Copilot capability fits which task, so you can delegate more and prompt less.
