GitHub Copilot CLI

SkillProductivity

This skill lets your AI run GitHub Copilot CLI on your behalf. Once added, you can ask your AI to analyze a code repository or hand coding tasks to Copilot, and the results come back to you in the same conversation.

Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.

After adding the skill, ask your AI to analyze a repository or delegate a coding task to Copilot. Use it whenever you want Copilot to handle coding work while you stay in the conversation.

Then ask your AI: use the GitHub Copilot CLI skill

What your AI can do with it

  • Run GitHub Copilot CLI for you
  • Analyze a repository to understand its code
  • Delegate coding tasks to Copilot
  • Get a Copilot coding-agent result back in the conversation

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by cherryhq/cherry-studio in resources/code-cli-skills/code-mate-github-copilot/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Run

  1. Set the Bash working directory to the exact project the user named and set a finite timeout, normally 10 minutes.
  2. Check availability with command -v copilot. If it is missing, stop and ask the user to install GitHub Copilot CLI in Code Mate.
  3. Run one non-interactive task:
copilot -p "<prompt>" -s --output-format json --no-ask-user

Pass the prompt as one quoted argument. Parse stdout as JSONL and treat an error event or nonzero exit as failure; the published exit-code contract is incomplete. Never start the interactive UI or an authentication flow.

Authentication And Permissions

If Copilot reports a missing login, subscription, or token configuration, stop and ask the user to configure GitHub Copilot CLI in Code Mate. Never request, read, print, or copy credentials.

--no-ask-user prevents an unattended approval prompt. Keep tools denied by default. When the user explicitly requests workspace changes, add only narrowly scoped --allow-tool entries; never use --allow-all as a shortcut.

Example: ask Copilot to explain a failing test without modifying files, run the command above, and summarize the final JSONL result plus any denied tool request.
