SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Delegating coding tasks to the GitHub Copilot CLI accelerates development by abstracting away repetitive coding work and enabling AI-assisted editing, building, debugging, and refactoring directly in the terminal.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Autonomous code actions: the Copilot CLI agent can build, edit, debug, and refactor code through natural language conversations.
  • Flexible orchestration: supports ACP(delegate_task), print mode, and interactive tmux sessions for versatile coding workflows.
  • Use Case: when working in a terminal, you can assign a coding goal to the Copilot CLI agent to implement a feature or refactor a module without manual step-by-step commands.

Quick Start

Install the Copilot CLI, authenticate, and start a delegate_task goal to begin an agent-driven coding session.
