AI Assistant - Do instructions actually work?

I am trying to give the AI some simple instructions, something like this:

"Don't write any explanations, except I ask specifically for it. Also don't write any comments in the code."

I tried to add this in the settings. I tried both General - Chat Instructions and Built-In Actions - Commit Message Generation.

Unfortunately, the AI doesn't behave any different. It still explains everything in detail and writes comments into the code. I thought its maybe the AI is to young. But now since the internet is hyping GPT-5, I wonder why its still not working - at all.

You guys have any suggestions, or should I hope for GPT-6?

Thanks :)

Hello,
The mentioned feature Chat Instructions — is being revisited as part of a broader review of our roadmap. We’re currently exploring how this area may evolve in future iterations of the product.
We’re introducing a new feature, “Project Rules” which aims to align AI behavior with your project’s coding standards and technology choices. This capability is gradually rolling out and is expected to become generally available in the 2025.2.1 release. Instructions how to Update both components to the latest versions:
