Does that work?
Also not the person you responded to but in my experience, yes. I don't tell it to "save it in its memory files" because I don't think that's a thing, but including "do not actually edit any files, only propose changes" somewhere in the initial prompt of a conversation has worked well for me.
Not the person you responded to, but yeah, it seems to in my case.
I'm one of those people that don't exist, in that any AI code I generate is reviewed prior to running. I've been forced to use fucking copilot to check in the source I have to a new company repository, and so far diffing the code checked into source control is unchanged, but it seems to be good about updating the header to the standard in supposed to be using. I'm also having it do basic reviews of the code and only updating the files as I see fit.
