Ask Copilot
Executes the local copilot CLI to get coding assistance.
Note: This skill requires the copilot CLI to be installed and available in your system's PATH.
Quick start
Run a single query with -p (prompt mode):
copilot -p "Your question or task here" --allow-all-tools
Common options
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
-p | Non-interactive prompt mode (required for scripting) |
--model MODEL | Specify model (e.g., claude-sonnet-4.5, gpt-5, gpt-5-mini) |
--allow-all-tools | Auto-approve all tool executions (required for -p) |
--continue | Resume the most recent session |
For all available options, run
copilot --help
Examples
Ask a coding question:
copilot -p "How do I implement a binary search in Python?" --allow-all-tools
Use a specific model:
copilot -p "Review this code for potential issues" --model gpt-5 --allow-all-tools
Let Copilot make changes automatically:
copilot -p "Refactor this function to use async/await" --allow-all-tools
Continue a previous session:
copilot --continue --allow-all-tools
Notes
- The
-pflag runs Copilot non-interactively and requires--allow-all-tools - Default model is claude-sonnet-4.5; use
--modelto switch models - The command inherits the current working directory
