Can I use this for multiple repositories?

Yes, the skill supports a --repo parameter allowing you to create agent sessions in target repositories different from your current working directory.

Is there a way to test the output before creating a session?

Yes, by enabling 'staged' mode in the safe-outputs configuration, you can preview the task description and branch details without actually creating the GitHub issue.

What permissions are needed for this skill?

It requires a Personal Access Token (PAT) with 'contents: write', 'issues: write', and 'pull-requests: write' permissions. The default GITHUB_TOKEN is not supported.

What is a GitHub Agent Session?

An agent session is a specialized GitHub issue that provides instructions to GitHub Copilot, triggering it to autonomously implement code changes and submit a pull request for review.

How do I install the required CLI extension?

You can install the necessary extension using the GitHub CLI command: gh extension install github/agent-task.

Automates code changes by creating GitHub Copilot agent sessions from natural language instructions via the command line.

The gh-agent-session skill leverages the GitHub CLI to bridge the gap between natural language requirements and automated code implementation. By creating specialized GitHub issues known as agent sessions, it triggers GitHub Copilot to autonomously execute code changes, handle refactoring, and generate pull requests. This skill is particularly useful for developers looking to delegate routine tasks—like bug fixes or documentation updates—to AI agents while maintaining a structured review process through standard GitHub workflows and repository permissions.
