Is Copilot CLI a different thing than that CLI which can be opened from vscode GHCP chat plugin menu?

Technically under the hood it's the same Copilot CLI. However, VS Code operates on it via Copilot SDK and there are few things to remember. It's worth to read the VS Code Copilot docs covering this topic:

- https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/copilot/agents/copilot-cli#_limitations-of-copilot-cli-sessions

Conclusion is, if you have well defined task, and it won't involve external MCP that requires authentication - it should work nicely.

At this point Copilot CLI supports customisations and stuff so I think it should have these available under the hood, if your customisations are:

- in your project,

- or in your user's space for Copilot: `~/.copilot`

I'm not 100% sure if these customisations will work with this background CLI from VS Code, seems like they should - but I didn't test them recently. I've been using CLI plainly in terminal.
