This is a really exciting challengeโ€”bringing Copilot directly into the CLI feels like a natural next step for how many of us actually work day to day. I especially like how open-ended the prompt is; it encourages practical solutions while still leaving room for creative and experimental ideas that show real workflow impact. Iโ€™m definitely interested in joining and exploring how Copilot CLI can speed up debugging and everyday automation in my own projects ๐Ÿš€

This is too tempting an offer. But what can I do?

So I'm already using copilot a bunch of other ways, but don't actually use the CLI much.

Good reason if any to look into how to leverage it more. I have one project idea that I think would be fun to try out.

This looks like a fun challenge with solid incentives. Bringing Copilot directly into the CLI feels like a natural next step, and the open-ended prompt makes it easy to experiment with real workflows instead of forced demos. Definitely tempting to build something small but genuinely useful with this.

That's so cool, actually tried Copilot CLI the other day and already was thinking about ditching the UI interface. it feels way better and the output felt cleaner don't know if that's me or there is a reason for that.

I am just curious. I have some idea on what I would build but question is I don't have a subscription of copilot. Do I need to have a subscription plan to enter?
