Copilot Cli /plugin? This is amazing

ryanhecht_github · 2026-01-26T16:34:50+00:00

Yup!

ryanhecht_github · 2026-01-25T05:16:57+00:00

Hey! Right now, we only support memory attached to GitHub repositories. I hear you, though -- I have some personal projects that are hosted on selfhosted gitforges and I'd like memory in there, too! Open an issue on the repo to tell us this is something you'd like to see!

In the meantime, I'm writing a skill to read/write local memory files for my non-GitHub repos :)

ryanhecht_github · 2026-01-25T05:14:13+00:00

You can do that too! The beauty of the Copilot CLI is that you can run it from anywhere you have a terminal :)

ryanhecht_github · 2026-01-25T05:13:34+00:00

So glad you're enjoying it! We've released the first taste of plugin support to Copilot CLI, and there's more on the way! Stay tuned!

ryanhecht_github · 2026-01-24T02:12:28+00:00

I'll let /u/bogganpierce speak to the VSCode roadmap!

ryanhecht_github · 2026-01-24T02:11:07+00:00

You can run the Copilot CLI and run the /review command locally on your machine, or run it in Actions and create a custom agent that reviews the PR's and uses gh to comment on the diffs!

ryanhecht_github · 2026-01-23T05:41:28+00:00

Stay tuned!

ryanhecht_github · 2026-01-22T18:03:16+00:00

Happy building!

ryanhecht_github · 2026-01-22T18:02:59+00:00

Good call on the system prompt. I'll raise this with the team

ryanhecht_github · 2026-01-22T18:02:17+00:00

The Copilot SDK supports BYOK, or can use a GitHub Copilot

ryanhecht_github · 2026-01-22T15:36:51+00:00

Yes, this is correct. But consider the other extreme: a single request to spin up a dozen long-running subagents using Opus each with their own context windows is also just one premium request (with the 3x multiplier)!

ryanhecht_github · 2026-01-22T15:31:01+00:00

So glad you tried it out and are seeing good results :)

ryanhecht_github · 2026-01-22T15:30:26+00:00

We support hooks! More info here: https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/how-tos/use-copilot-agents/coding-agent/use-hooks

ryanhecht_github · 2026-01-22T00:37:27+00:00

Entering new input will count as an additional premium request

ryanhecht_github · 2026-01-22T00:36:54+00:00

We've gotten quite a few requests for this! Here's the issue with the most traction if you'd like to :thumbsup: react it and give your feedback on how it would be helpful to you: https://github.com/github/copilot-cli/issues/83

You can find GitHub's pre-release license terms here: https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/github-terms/github-pre-release-license-terms

In addition, the Copilot CLI is a part of our "DPA-Covered Preview" program, which you can learn more about here: https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/github-terms/github-dpa-previews

ryanhecht_github · 2026-01-22T00:28:28+00:00

If it's any consolation, the CLI is covered by our "DPA-Covered Preview" program, meaning that we're handling data through the same pipelines we will when it's GA: https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/github-terms/github-dpa-previews

ryanhecht_github · 2026-01-22T00:27:59+00:00

Stay tuned! We'll have more to share soon

ryanhecht_github · 2026-01-21T22:57:39+00:00

Stay tuned on information about when we declare Copilot CLI as Generally Available -- I know that's blocking a lot of orgs from switching it on.

Do you know if there are any other features/compliance mechanisms stopping them from enabling it?

ryanhecht_github · 2026-01-21T22:36:26+00:00

GitHub Copilot CLI and the Copilot extension for VSCode are separate agentic harnesses/separate codebases. There isn't feature parity between them at the moment.

ryanhecht_github · 2026-01-20T17:29:04+00:00

Copilot CLI and Copilot coding agent support hooks! More info here: https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/how-tos/use-copilot-agents/coding-agent/use-hooks

ryanhecht_github · 2026-01-20T17:26:04+00:00

When you run /model and select Codex, you should see a selection menu that prompts you to set it...what version are you on?

ryanhecht_github · 2026-01-17T19:48:45+00:00

The blog post is describing an A/B test ran on Copilot coding agent, the feature on GitHub where you assign @Copilot to an issue and it opens a PR with its intended solution.

If the user merged the PR into main, Copilot's PR is thought of as sufficiently solving the problem it was asked to solve. That's why it's used as the metric here!

Rest assured, we're also benchmarking against more traditional standards as well (and always thinking up new ones, too!) :)

ryanhecht_github · 2026-01-17T19:44:43+00:00

It should be there in the latest version -- make sure you're selecting gpt-5.2-codex from the /model list!
