copilot-delegate

authentic

Delegate a coding task to the GitHub Copilot CLI (`copilot`) as a background implementer, then review its diff and land it yourself. Use this whenever the user wants to delegate implementation work to Copilot - phrasings like "have Copilot implement X", "delegate this to copilot", "run it through Copilot CLI", or "use copilot to implement/fix/refactor" - or wants to run a queue of coding tasks through Copilot while staying the reviewer. DO NOT USE for tasks small enough to do inline, or when the user wants the code written directly without delegating.

When to use

• delegate implementation work to Copilot
• run a queue of coding tasks through Copilot
• have Copilot implement X
• use copilot to implement/fix/refactor

When not to use

• The task is small enough to do inline; delegation overhead is not worth it.
• The `copilot` CLI is not installed or authenticated.
• You need a hard sandbox. Copilot exposes sandbox controls, but they are upstream-experimental
