Meet Coco the copilot for copilot

GitHub Copilot CLI Challenge Submission

This is a submission for the GitHub Copilot CLI Challenge

What I Built

I wanted to try the new experimental GitHub Copilot CLI features β€” autopilot mode, fleet (sub-agents), and plan mode β€” and try and understand what's happening under the hood.

I built Cocopilot, an Electron app that monitors ~/.copilot/session-state/*/events.jsonl and visualises and makes sounds when Copilot does things. It was an experiment with spec-driven development and vibe coding trying to keep going via a progress.md and many agent turns and fleet using Claude Opus 4.6 with the Copilot CLI.

Overall it worked and I'm happy with the result:

My Experience with Copilot CLI

  • The new Copilot autopilot mode and fleet of sub-agents is awesome!
  • I managed to vibe-code an app in a day for a few Euros
  • Establishing a debug and test feedback loop where the agents can "see" the app is important
  • Spec-driven development and a progress.md can work, but was a bit rocky
  • See πŸŽ₯ YouTube: Exploring Copilot CLI's New Features

Try it today

Type copilot --yolo, set /experimental on, shift tab to autopilot and type /fleet Let's go ...
