GitHub Copilot¶
Copilot uses workspace instructions:
Setup¶
- Adopt issuebeam — both files are included.
- Enable Copilot Chat with agent / edit and terminal capabilities in VS Code.
- Configure token and repository slug.
Visual Studio¶
Same copilot-instructions.md pattern when Copilot workspace context is enabled. The solution folder must be the repo root where scripts/ lives.
Verify¶
In Copilot Chat: "Track this bug on GitHub using our issuebeam CLI".
Troubleshooting¶
| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
| Works in Cursor, not Copilot | Check .github/copilot-instructions.md exists |
| Agent won't run commands | Enable terminal permissions in Copilot settings |
| Wrong repo | Open solution at repository root |
