About
Yamadashy's collection of small experiments with GitHub Copilot — playground for testing patterns and limits of the AI pair programmer.
What it does
A set of editable Markdown worksheets that turns Copilot completion into lightweight developer utilities. You paste content into labeled sections, place the cursor in an output section, and accept or revise Copilot’s suggestion.
Why it's ranked here
Worth a look for its unusually transparent approach: each utility exposes its instructions, expected format, and editing loop as plain text. The narrow scope keeps setup simple, but results still depend on Copilot interpreting the worksheet correctly.
What's good
The translation worksheet preserves headings and lists while accounting for technical terms and cultural nuance. The commit workflow retains Conventional Commit types and scopes, encourages concise wording, and uses existing commit patterns as style guidance.
Tradeoffs
Every conversion requires GitHub Copilot, manual cursor placement, and human checking. Date handling is especially fragile: the example interprets an ambiguous numeric date as day-first, while timezone-free input is declared undefined despite examples producing Japan time.
How to use it well
Best for Copilot users who want editable, project-local prompt worksheets for recurring translation, commit wording, or date normalization. Keep the templates in an ignored private folder and verify outputs. It does not replace deterministic conversion software or automated validation.
Technical notes+
README.md instructs users to clone the repository or copy selected templates into a globally ignored .private/ directory, then invoke Copilot completion inside the editor. translate.md defines paired Japanese and English fenced sections plus translation constraints. date-convert.md requests ISO 8601 output for JST and UTC and documents timezone conversions. commit-message.md supplies the Conventional Commits structure, supported type examples, and a reference commit log. The supplied files expose no CLI, library API, executable package, or automated validation mechanism.
