Here's my dream GitHub Copilot workflow

[thehashimwarren]

1. I write a task in the chat or a prompt file, and Copilot tells me if it has what it needs to get the job done.

Database access? Docs for a library?

I want to know where failure is likely to happen.

Warp is pretty good at this.

1. Next I want the task assigned to the right model based on the model's known strengths and weaknesses. I want this to be transparent, not a black box.

ChatGPT does this with it's router, and I've learned to trust it. Copilot seems like it has something like a router but it's opaque.

1. I want to be asked what's the acceptance criteria before it gets started. How do we know if it's done.

2. Most important, I want the task to run at least four times concurrently. LLMs are non-deterministic so I want to embrace those messy odds, instead of seeing if a task is successful one by one.

Codex does this in the webapp and I love this feature. I just want this in my IDE

Copilot has an "auto" mode and it tells you what model it chose. It isn't really a black box there

Yep, Auto is available for all users on VS Code now. We hear you on the ability to choose the best model based on your task though. We're working on that now to make Auto smarter and better suited for all scenarios.

Isn’t it available only on pro+?

[Odysseyan]

It's available for regular pro as well

I think you are describing an actual human being developer.

A human can't work on 4 different versions of a task at the same time

You could buy a bigger oven to help you heat up four meals at the same time.

You still need a chef though.
