---# GitHub Copilot Provider Skill
## Overview
GitHub Copilot CLI (GA since Feb 2026) serves as an optional provider in the Claude Octopus
multi-LLM ecosystem. Integration uses the official `copilot -p` programmatic mode, not
reverse-engineered API endpoints.
**Core principle:** Copilot supplements existing providers for research and exploration at
zero additional cost (uses existing GitHub Copilot subscription). Each prompt counts as one
premium request against your subscription quota.
**Agent types:** `copilot` (general), `copilot-research` (research-focused)
