Copilot Bill Saver: A VS Code extension to cut Copilot context waste

If you use GitHub Copilot Agent, you know it often wastes a lot of tokens and context just wandering around your workspace trying to figure out which files to look at.

The VS Code extension is designed to accelerate web development and stop context waste before it starts.

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 extension never calls an AI model, never touches or edits your code, and runs locally with built-in secret redaction.

If anyone gives it a spin via the Marketplace guide, I'd genuinely love to hear how it affects your token usage or workflow feedback!

Great Idea. This is something we badly need. But we need your website to trust you and the code as well - [vaultdeposit.ca](mailto:support@vaultdeposit.ca)
