copilot

Hand off a task to GitHub Copilot.

SKILL.md

GitHub

Examples

# Create a task with an inline description
gh agent-task create "<task description>"

# Create a task from a markdown file
gh agent-task create -F task-desc.md

Post-creation

Print both the session URL and the PR URL (strip /agent-sessions/... from the session URL).

Example:

Polling for completion

Once Copilot starts working, poll in the background until Copilot finishes. The script automatically finds the latest session for the PR:

bash .claude/skills/copilot/poll.sh "<owner>/<repo>" <pr_number>

Sending feedback

If the PR needs changes, batch all feedback into a single review with @copilot in each comment so they're addressed in one session:

gh api repos/<owner>/<repo>/pulls/<pr_number>/reviews --input - <<'EOF'
{
  "event": "COMMENT",
  "comments": [
    {
      "path": "<file_path>",
      "line": <line_number>,
      "side": "RIGHT",
      "body": "@copilot <comment>",
      // ... more params
    },
    // ... more comments
  ]
}
EOF

After sending feedback, Copilot starts a new session, typically within ~10 seconds. Wait at least 15 seconds before polling so the new session gets picked up.
