Ask Copilot

Executes the local copilot CLI to get coding assistance.

Note: This skill requires the copilot CLI to be installed and available in your system's PATH.

Quick start

Run a single query with -p (prompt mode):

copilot -p "Your question or task here" --allow-all-tools

Common options

Option	Description
-p	Non-interactive prompt mode (required for scripting)
--model MODEL	Specify model (e.g., claude-sonnet-4.5, gpt-5, gpt-5-mini)
--allow-all-tools	Auto-approve all tool executions (required for -p)
--continue	Resume the most recent session

For all available options, run copilot --help

Examples

Ask a coding question:

copilot -p "How do I implement a binary search in Python?" --allow-all-tools

Use a specific model:

copilot -p "Review this code for potential issues" --model gpt-5 --allow-all-tools

Let Copilot make changes automatically:

copilot -p "Refactor this function to use async/await" --allow-all-tools

Continue a previous session:

copilot --continue --allow-all-tools

Notes

• The -p flag runs Copilot non-interactively and requires --allow-all-tools
• Default model is claude-sonnet-4.5; use --model to switch models
• The command inherits the current working directory
