What problem does it solve?
This Skill automates the creation of GitHub Copilot agent tasks—specialized issues that trigger Copilot to perform autonomous code changes—streamlining the delegation of development tasks to AI. It helps AI agents and workflow authors initiate code modifications efficiently.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Automated Task Creation: Create new agent tasks from natural language descriptions, either inline or from a file, specifying base branches and target repositories.
- CLI Integration: Leverage
gh agent-taskcommands to create, list, view, and update agent tasks directly from the command line. - Safe Output Integration: Seamlessly integrate with
gh-awsafe outputs to generate agent tasks from AI agent output. - Secure Authentication: Guidance on using Personal Access Tokens (PATs) with appropriate permissions for task creation.
- Use Case: An AI agent identifies a refactoring opportunity. This skill enables the agent to create a
gh agent-taskissue with detailed instructions, delegating the code change to GitHub Copilot.
Quick Start
Use the gh-agent-task skill to create a new agent task with the description 'Refactor the user authentication flow in src/auth/login.js'.
