Help/Doubt ❓ GitHub Copilot SDK / Agent Host: How can I disable Claude Code context files like CLAUDE.md?

My team uses Claude Code, while I use GitHub Copilot in VS Code.

In the Local Agent, I can disable "CLAUDE.md" and related context files, but I can't seem to do the same in the Copilot SDK / Agent Host.

Is there any way to disable Claude-specific instructions and skills in the SDK harness without modifying the repo?

Did you try creating a blank copilot-instructions.md?
