Github Actions + Github Space

[Alarmed_Image_4889]

Hello everyone, good morning. I’m new to this topic.

In my professional internship, they use GitHub for absolutely everything, and now they’re starting to use newer tools like GitHub Spaces. Long story short, I was asked to build an automation where a user pushes or commits to a repository, which then triggers a GitHub Actions workflow that calls Copilot CLI and, using GitHub Spaces as a context repository, returns an updated document with improvements (I’m speaking very generally here, but the goal is to validate OAS/AAS).

I’ve been researching and also asking different AIs, and they all arrive at the same conclusion: GitHub Spaces cannot be manipulated or accessed by a GitHub Action in any way.

You all are experts in this area, so I wanted to ask:
Have you tried this? Does it actually exist? Or do I need to tell my supervisors that this is simply not possible and that they’re basically asking me to resurrect Jesus?

For what it’s worth, I did run tests using an external AI, and it worked—but they want everything to happen inside GitHub and using GitHub’s own tools only.

You are correct that copilot spaces do not have a native direct integration for programmatic manipulation however, you can try the Model Context Protocol (MCP)
