# copilot Quickstart
Use this when you need GitHub Copilot CLI for scripted prompts and machine-readable outputs.
## 1) Install plugin and dependency
```bash
supercli plugins learn copilot
supercli plugins install copilot --json
npm install -g @github/copilot
```
## 2) Login and validate setup
```bash
copilot login
supercli copilot cli version
```
## 3) Programmatic usage
```bash
supercli copilot task ask --prompt "Summarize the current branch changes"
supercli copilot task ask-json --prompt "List top risks in this PR"
```
## 4) Full passthrough for advanced flags
```bash
supercli copilot -p "Explain this module" --output-format json
supercli copilot -p "Draft a migration plan" --agent my-agent --output-format json
```
## 5) Caveats
- Current Copilot CLI build in this environment does not expose JSON output flags; `task ask-json` runs in non-stream text mode (`--stream off`).
- Copilot may require repository trust and auth setup on first run.
- Keep tool permissions explicit for automation; use passthrough to set advanced `--allow-*` options when needed.
