code-mate-github-copilot
Helps your agent analyze code and perform programming tasks. It's useful for getting coding results from Copilot.
What it does
This agent helps you use GitHub Copilot CLI to analyze your code or perform programming tasks. It can answer questions about your project or even write code for you, using Copilot's tools.
When to use it
- ✓When you want to understand a piece of code.
- ✓When you need help writing new code.
- ✓When you want to analyze your project for issues.

How it works
It runs GitHub Copilot CLI commands in the background. If Copilot isn't installed or set up, it will ask you to do so.
Installation
Easiest way: copy the skill link and paste it into Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor asking it to follow the instructions.
In the terminal (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor), in your project folder:

GitHub Copilot CLI
Run
- Set the Bash working directory to the exact project the user named and set a finite timeout, normally 10 minutes.
- Check availability with
command -v copilot. If it is missing, stop and ask the user to install GitHub Copilot CLI in Code Mate. - 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.
FAQ
What is GitHub Copilot CLI?
It's a tool that lets you use the power of GitHub Copilot directly from your command line to assist with coding tasks.
Do I need to install anything?
Yes, you need to have GitHub Copilot CLI installed and configured in your environment for this agent to work.
Can it modify my code?
It can, but only if you explicitly ask, and it will have limited permissions to ensure safety.
Details
Original description by the author
Runs GitHub Copilot CLI programmatically for repository analysis and coding tasks. Use when the user asks to delegate work to Copilot CLI or obtain a Copilot coding-agent result.
