You can provide custom guidelines written in natural language to improve Agent and Chat with your preferences, best practices, styles, and technology stack.
Agent and Chat guidelines are natural language instructions that can help Augment reply with more accurate and relevant responses. Guidelines are perfect for telling Augment to take into consideration specific preferences, package versions, styles, and other implementation details that can’t be managed with a linter or compiler. You can create guidelines for a specific workspace or globally for all chats; guidelines do not currently apply to Completions, Instructions, or Next Edit.
You can add user guidelines by clicking Context menu or starting an @-mention from the Chat input box. User guidelines will be applied to all future chats in all open editors.
You can update or remove your guidelines by clicking on the User Guidelines context chip. Update or remove your guidelines and click Save. Updating or removing user guidelines in any editor will modify them in all open editors.
You can add an .augment-guidelines
file to the root of a repository to specify a set of guidelines that Augment will follow for all Agent and Chat sessions on the codebase. The .augment-guidelines
file should be added to your version control system so that everyone working on the codebase has the same guidelines.
