The Configuration directory contains foundational guidelines that configure AI assistant behavior and establish core development principles for AL/Business Central development. These guidelines ensure consistent AI assistance and establish fundamental development philosophies.
This directory provides configuration guidelines for:
- AI assistant behavior and instruction patterns
- Core development principles and methodologies
- GitHub Copilot optimization for AL development
- Fundamental AL development philosophies
- Cross-project consistency and approach standards
Purpose: Guidelines for AI assistants to provide optimal AL development support When to use: Used by AI assistants (GitHub Copilot, etc.) to understand AL development context Key topics: AL language patterns, Business Central concepts, development assistance patterns
Purpose: Fundamental AL development principles and methodologies When to use: As foundation for all development activities and decision-making Key topics: Development philosophy, quality principles, architectural guidance
