Ask Copilot

Overview

This skill allows the agent to interact with GitHub Copilot CLI (copilot) in a non-interactive (headless) mode. Use this skill when the user explicitly wants secondary advice, code reviews, explanations, or code generation from GitHub Copilot's models.

Use source: self and source_type: self when the skill is original to this repository and does not require README external-source credit.

Copilot is an external service. Treat prompts, file paths, snippets, repository content, command output, and generated suggestions as data that may leave the local environment.

When to Use This Skill

• User Request Only: Use this skill ONLY when the user explicitly asks to "consult Copilot", "ask Copilot", "review with Copilot", or explicitly requests a second opinion using Copilot.
• Do NOT Invoke Automatically: To comply with privacy policies, the agent must not invoke this skill automatically for its own second opinions or checks without explicit user consent.

How It Works

Step 1: Request Explicit User Consent

Before executing any command that references local files, repository paths, snippets, command output, secrets-adjacent config, or private project context, you MUST obtain explicit user consent to send that material to GitHub Copilot.

Ask for separate approval before allowing Copilot to run tools, execute shell commands
