GitHub Copilot

Copilot uses workspace instructions:

.github/copilot-instructions.md
AGENTS.md

Setup

  1. Adopt issuebeam — both files are included.
  2. Enable Copilot Chat with agent / edit and terminal capabilities in VS Code.
  3. 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
