{% comment %} WRITING NOTE: The following tables have been written using HTML rather than Markdown due to the poor column width rendering of Markdown tables. In Markdown the columns have equal width, resulting in the first column being too wide, and the second column being too narrow for the text it contains. {% endcomment %}

JetBrains IDEs

In JetBrains IDEs, you can manage supported customizations from the Agent Customizations editor. In the {% data variables.copilot.copilot_chat %} panel, click the settings icon in the top-right, then click Customizations.

The editor lets you work with workspace customizations for the current project or personal customizations that follow you across projects. You can use it to view and edit {% data variables.copilot.custom_agents_short %}, manage reusable skills and prompt files, and configure instructions. For more information, see AUTOTITLE and AUTOTITLE.
