github-copilot-agent-tips-and-tricks
A guidance skill kept in GitHub's gh-aw repository (GitHub Agentic Workflows) for working with pull requests opened by Copilot coding agent.
What the skill teaches
A guidance skill kept in GitHub's gh-aw repository (GitHub Agentic Workflows) for working with pull requests opened by Copilot coding agent. It explains how to spot those pull requests by their copilot/ branch prefix and bot author, how to find them with GitHub CLI searches, and what to look at when reviewing and improving them. Its examples name branches from gh-aw itself, so it is written for that project's maintainers. There are no scripts; the agent follows the written steps with an authenticated gh CLI.
