Use gald3r with GitHub Copilot

GitHub Copilot — GitHub's AI coding assistant across VS Code, Visual Studio 2026 18.4+, JetBrains, the Copilot CLI, and the Copilot coding agent on GitHub.com. Each surface supports a different subset of customization, so capabilities must be stated per surface.

Installing gald3r into a GitHub Copilot project writes the CRASH overlay this tool actually reads into .github/ — the same task board, bug tracker, and gald3r <verb> CLI every other supported platform gets, wired the way GitHub Copilot itself expects it. Today that's commands native, rules native, skills native, hooks partial, MCP native via the gald3r engine's MCP (L2). Cheapest high-parity install: ship gald3r's .claude/skills/ tree, plus a generated .github/copilot-instructions.md (from always-apply rules) and AGENTS.md — Copilot loads them natively. Map g-agnt- → .github/agents/AGENT-NAME.md, g-rl- → copilot-instructions.md (or .github/instructions/ for path-scoped, adv tier), g-hk-.py → .github/hooks/.json (python invocation, CLI surface), @g- → .github/prompts/.prompt.md (VS Code surface).

Once installed, the same .gald3r/TASKS.md task board, bug tracker, and full gald3r <verb> CLI work identically to every other supported platform — GitHub Copilot is one of 37 platforms gald3r reads and writes today. Commonly searched as Copilot, GitHub Copilot CLI.
