SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you use GitHub Copilot to review pull requests, propose Copilot-actionable fixes, or delegate coding work via the Copilot agent—without taking over other PR workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • PR review with Copilot fix routing: Fetches PR context, presents a structured set of findings, and formats inline @copilot fix this comments for items approved by you.
  • Delegated coding via gh agent-task: Creates and monitors an agent task until a PR is opened, then optionally runs a Copilot review on the result.
  • One-time Copilot bootstrap (setup): Generates .github/ Copilot instruction files from repo heuristics, but only when explicitly requested.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to run the Copilot PR review by giving a command like: "Use /copilot review on PR #123 and prepare Copilot-ready fix comments for my approval."

Frequently Asked Questions about copilot

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I use GitHub Copilot CLI to review a pull request?▼

Use the Copilot Skill to run a GitHub Copilot CLI-assisted PR review. It fetches pull request context, presents structured findings, and formats inline `@copilot fix this` comments for items you explicitly approve. You can start by asking the AI to run `/copilot review` on a specific PR number or URL.

Can I delegate coding tasks to a GitHub Copilot agent from the command line?▼

Yes, you can delegate coding tasks via the `gh agent-task` command. The Skill creates and monitors an agent task until a PR is opened, and then optionally runs a Copilot review on the resulting code to ensure quality before merging.

Do I need to install the GitHub CLI gh to use Copilot PR review features?▼

Yes, the GitHub CLI (`gh`) is required. The Skill depends on `gh pr` for pull request context and Copilot review integration, and uses `gh api` for posting structured review payloads back to the repository.

What is the best way to set up Copilot instructions for an existing repository?▼

Use the one-time Copilot bootstrap setup mode. When explicitly requested, it generates `.github/` Copilot instruction files derived from repository heuristics to guide future Copilot reviews and delegated coding tasks within that specific codebase.

How does Copilot review comment triage work before posting to GitHub?▼

The Skill performs safe review-comment triage by preparing structured review payloads and inline `@copilot fix this` comments. It requires your explicit user approval before using `gh api` to post any comments, ensuring you maintain full control over PR workflows.
