Copilot plugin for Claude Code
Use Copilot from inside Claude Code for code reviews or to delegate tasks to Copilot.
This plugin is for Claude Code users who want an easy way to start using Copilot from the workflow
they already have.
What You Get
/copilot:review for a normal read-only Copilot review/copilot:adversarial-review for a steerable challenge review/copilot:rescue, /copilot:status, /copilot:result, and /copilot:cancel to delegate work and manage background jobs
Requirements
- GitHub Copilot subscription or GitHub token.
- Usage will contribute to your Copilot usage limits. Learn more.
- Node.js 18.18 or later
Install
Add the marketplace in Claude Code:
/plugin marketplace add wagnersza/copilot-plugin-cc
Install the plugin:
/plugin install copilot@wagnersza
Reload plugins:
/reload-plugins
Then run:
/copilot:setup
/copilot:setup will tell you whether Copilot is ready. If Copilot is missing and npm is available, it can offer to install Copilot for you.
If you prefer to install Copilot yourself, use:
npm install -g @github/copilot-cli
If Copilot is installed but not logged in yet, run:
!copilot auth login
After install, you should see:
- the slash commands listed below
- the
copilot:copilot-rescue subagent in /agents
One simple first run is:
/copilot:review --background
/copilot:status
/copilot:result
Usage
/copilot:review
Runs a normal Copilot review on your current work. It gives you the same quality of code review as running /review inside Copilot directly.
[!NOTE]
Code review especially for multi-file changes might take a while. It's generally recommended to run it in the background.
Use it when you want:
- a review of your current uncommitted changes
- a review of your branch compared to a base branch like
main
Use --base <ref> for branch review. It also supports --wait and --background. It is not steerable and does not take custom focus text. Use /copilot:adversarial-review when you want to challenge a specific decision or risk area.
Examples:
/copilot:review
/copilot:review --base main
/copilot:review --background
This command is read-only and will not perform any changes. When run in the background you can use /copilot:status to check on the progress and /copilot:cancel to cancel the ongoing task.
/copilot:adversarial-review
Runs a steerable review that questions the chosen implementation and design.
It can be used to pressure-test assumptions, tradeoffs, failure modes, and whether a different approach would have been safer or simpler.
It uses the same review target selection as /copilot:review, including --base <ref> for branch review.
It also supports --wait and --background. Unlike /copilot:review, it can take extra focus text after the flags.
Use it when you want:
- a review before shipping that challenges the direction, not just the code details
- review focused on design choices, tradeoffs, hidden assumptions, and alternative approaches
- pressure-testing around specific risk areas like auth, data loss, rollback, race conditions, or reliability
Examples:
/copilot:adversarial-review
/copilot:adversarial-review --base main challenge whether this was the right caching and retry design
/copilot:adversarial-review --background look for race conditions and question the chosen approach
This command is read-only. It does not fix code.
/copilot:rescue
Hands a task to Copilot through the copilot:copilot-rescue subagent.
Use it when you want Copilot to:
- investigate a bug
- try a fix
- continue a previous Copilot task
- take a faster or cheaper pass with a smaller model
[!NOTE]
Depending on the task and the model you choose these tasks might take a long time and it's generally recommended to force the task to be in the background or move the agent to the background.
It supports --background, --wait, --resume, and --fresh. If you omit --resume and --fresh, the plugin can offer to continue the latest rescue thread for this repo.
Examples:
/copilot:rescue investigate why the tests started failing
/copilot:rescue fix the failing test with the smallest safe patch
/copilot:rescue --resume apply the top fix from the last run
/copilot:rescue --model gpt-5.4 --effort medium investigate the flaky integration test
/copilot:rescue --model spark fix the issue quickly
/copilot:rescue --background investigate the regression
You can also just ask for a task to be delegated to Copilot:
Ask Copilot to redesign the database connection to be more resilient.
