Copilot Chat
copilot-chat uses the GitHub Copilot Chat window inside VS Code instead of launching a CLI process.
When to use it
- You want to stay entirely inside the chat UI
- Your workflow is extension-first rather than terminal-first
- You do not need standalone CLI execution
Notes
- This harness is only available in VS Code.
- Chat-window behavior differs from the CLI harnesses, so CLI-specific flags and PTY features do not apply.
- Workflow syntax stays the same, which makes it easy to move between
copilot-chatand a CLI harness later.
