@wadepickett thanks for opening this issue. Super helpful for me.

@meaghanlewis, love to have your input on the prompt and what the results are looking like as we go. We are trying to find a sweetspot where the prompt provides somewhat reliable list of what Copilot can handle on its own without pulling us down into time consuming rabbitholes in review. Any ideas as we progress are very welcome!
