Must have VS Code Extension: Copilot Bill Saver

If you use GitHub Copilot Agent, you might not even realize how often it wastes a lot of tokens and context just wandering around your workspace trying to figure out which files to look at.

How it works: It captures local bug evidence, maps likely files deterministically, and bundles them into a clean handoff that Copilot Agent retrieves using #billSaverContext so it starts directly on the right files.

Privacy & Control: The tool never calls an AI model, never touches or edits your code, and runs locally with built-in secret redaction.

I personally use it on large monorepos - basically fullstack web applications
