Include login, logout, refresh endpoints." ``` ### Option 2: Add a label to an existing issue ``` # Add label to issue #42 → trigger Actions gh issue edit 42 --add-label ai-copilot ``` ### Option 3: Assign directly via script ``` export COPILOT_ASSIGN_TOKEN= bash scripts/copilot-assign-issue.sh 42 ``` ## How it works (technical) ``` Issue created/labeled ↓ GitHub Actions triggered (assign-to-copilot.yml) ↓ Look up Copilot bot ID via GraphQL ↓ replaceActorsForAssignable → set Copilot as assignee ↓ Copilot Coding Agent starts processing the issue ↓ Create branch → write code → open Draft PR ↓ Auto-assign you as PR reviewer ``` Required GraphQL header: ``` GraphQL-Features: issues_copilot_assignment_api_support,coding_agent_model_selection ``` ## GitHub Actions workflows Workflow Trigger Purpose `assign-to-copilot.yml` Issue labeled `ai-copilot` Auto-assign to Copilot `copilot-pr-ci.yml` PR open/update Run CI (build + tests) ## Copilot PR limitations Copilot is treated like an **external contributor**. - PRs are created as Draft by default - Before the first Actions run, a **manual approval** from someone with write access is required - After approval, `copilot-pr-ci.yml` CI runs normally ``` # Check CI after manual approval gh pr list --search 'head:copilot/' gh pr view ``` ## planno (plannotator) integration — optional Review the issue spec in planno before assigning to Copilot (independent skill, not required): ``` Review and approve this issue spec in planno ``` After approval, add the `ai-copilot` label → trigger Actions. ## Common use cases ### 1. Label-based Copilot queue ``` PM writes an issue → add ai-copilot label → Actions auto-assigns → Copilot creates Draft PR → Team only performs PR review ``` ### 2. Combined with Vibe Kanban / Conductor ``` Follow-up issues created by Vibe Kanban: refactors/docs cleanup/add tests → ai-copilot label → Copilot handles → Team focuses on main feature development ``` ### 3. External system integration ``` Jira issue → Zapier/webhook → auto-create GitHub Issue → ai-copilot label → Copilot PR → Fully automated pipeline ``` ### 4. Refactoring backlog processing ``` # Bulk-add label to backlog issues gh issue list --label "tech-debt" --json number \ | jq '.[].number' \ | xargs -I{} gh issue edit {} --add-label ai-copilot ``` ## Check results ``` # List PRs created by Copilot gh pr list --search 'head:copilot/' # Specific issue status gh issue view 42 # PR CI status gh pr checks ``` ## References - [GitHub Copilot Coding Agent overview](https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/concepts/agents/coding-agent/about-coding-agent) - [Ask Copilot to create a PR (GraphQL example)](https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/how-tos/use-copilot-agents/coding-agent/create-a-pr) - [Official docs: assign Copilot to an issue](https://docs.github.com/copilot/using-github-copilot/coding-agent/asking-copilot-to-create-a-pull-request) - [Copilot PR permissions/limitations](https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/concepts/agents/coding-agent/about-coding-agent) - [GitHub Copilot coding agent (VSCode docs)](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/copilot/copilot-coding-agent) ## Quick Reference ``` === Setup === bash scripts/copilot-setup-workflow.sh one-time setup === Issue assignment === gh issue create --label ai-copilot ... new issue + auto-assign gh issue edit --add-label ai-copilot existing issue bash scripts/copilot-assign-issue.sh manual assign === Verify results === gh pr list --search 'head:copilot/' Copilot PR list gh pr view PR details gh pr checks CI status === Constraints === Copilot Pro+/Business/Enterprise required First PR requires manual approval (treated as an external contributor) PAT: repo scope required ``` Weekly Installs10.8KRepository[supercent-io/sk…template](https://github.com/supercent-io/skills-template)GitHub Stars58First SeenFeb 20, 2026Security Audits[Gen Agent Trust HubPass](/supercent-io/skills-template/copilot-coding-agent/security/agent-trust-hub)[SocketPass](/supercent-io/skills-template/copilot-coding-agent/security/socket)[SnykWarn](/supercent-io/skills-template/copilot-coding-agent/security/snyk)Installed oncodex10.7Kgemini-cli10.7Kopencode10.7Kcursor10.7Kkimi-cli10.7Kgithub-copilot10.7K --- *Source: https://skills.yangsir.net/skill/sm-copilot-coding-agent* *Markdown mirror: https://skills.yangsir.net/api/skill/sm-copilot-coding-agent/markdown*
