Use the GitHub Copilot CLI for agentic coding, session management, custom agents, skills, plugins, SDK integration, and Ralph Wiggum loops. Use when: (1) running Copilot CLI sessions interactively or non-interactively, (2) managing custom agents and skills, (3) configuring MCP servers and plugins, (4) integrating with the Copilot SDK programmatically, (5) orchestrating multi-agent workflows, (6) setting up long-running autonomous coding loops (Ralph Wiggum pattern). NOT for: the old `gh copilot` extension (that's deprecated), simple file edits (just edit directly), or GitHub API operations (use `gh` CLI).

From the source SKILL.md

The standalone copilot CLI — an agentic coding assistant that runs in your terminal. Supports sessions, custom agents, skills, plugins, MCP servers, and a TypeScript SDK for programmatic control.
