SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill enables the orchestration of multi-agent tasks using the GitHub Copilot CLI, allowing for complex workflows to be executed efficiently.

Core Features & Use Cases

Multi-Agent Orchestration: Execute multiple tasks in parallel or sequence, with each task handled by a separate Copilot agent.
Deterministic Execution: Ensure consistent execution of tasks by keeping the control flow in plain JavaScript.
Use Case: For instance, use this Skill to fan out agents to research a topic across multiple sources, then synthesize a comprehensive report.

Quick Start

To run a workflow, create a JavaScript orchestrator script and import the runtime from the skill. Define the steps in a 'fan out -> reduce -> synthesize' pattern, then execute the script.

FAQPage Schema

How do I orchestrate multi-agent tasks with GitHub Copilot CLI?▼

Multi-agent orchestration with the GitHub Copilot CLI is achieved by creating a JavaScript orchestrator script that imports the runtime and defines parallel or sequential task steps for agents to execute.

Can I run parallel processing of agents in plain JavaScript?▼

Yes, parallel processing of agents is supported by keeping the deterministic control flow in plain JavaScript, allowing you to fan out tasks to multiple agents and synthesize the reduced results.

What do I need to set up multi-agent workflows for GitHub Copilot?▼

To set up multi-agent workflows, you need the GitHub Copilot CLI and Node.js version 18 or higher installed, along with a JavaScript script to define the orchestration pattern.

When should I use multi-agent orchestration for Copilot tasks?▼

Multi-agent orchestration is ideal when you need to fan out agents to research a topic across multiple sources in parallel and then synthesize those findings into a comprehensive report.

What is the best way to ensure deterministic execution of multi-agent tasks?▼

Deterministic execution of multi-agent tasks is ensured by writing the control flow logic in plain JavaScript, rather than relying on the agents themselves to manage the workflow sequence.

Are there limitations to orchestrating agents using plain JavaScript control flow?▼

Orchestration requires Node.js >= 18 and the GitHub Copilot CLI, meaning workflows are constrained to environments where these dependencies are installed and accessible for local script execution.
