[copilot-cli-research] Copilot CLI Deep Research - 2026-08-27

Analysis Date: 2026-08-27 Repository: github/gh-aw Scope: 294 total workflows, 108 using Copilot engine (id: copilot or engine: copilot) 📊 Executive Summary Research Topic: Copilot CLI Optimization Opportunities (5th cycle) Key Findings: 1. engine.agent (custom agent personas) IS genuinely used — 7 workflows (archie, contribution-check, daily-file-diet, glossary-maintainer, hourly-ci-cleaner, technical-doc-writer, workflow-generator) — correcting a run-4 undercount that reported 0 due to an overly strict query. 2. copilot-sdk: true adoption is flat at 61/108 workflows for a 4th consecutive measurement — genuinely plateaued, not growing. 3. engine.version pinning, --share, and plugins rem...

[copilot-cli-research] Copilot CLI Deep Research - 2026-08-26

Analysis Date: 2026-08-26 Repository: github/gh-aw Scope: 294 total workflows, 89 using Copilot engine (id: copilot) 📊 Executive Summary Research Topic: Copilot CLI Optimization Opportunities (4th research cycle) Key Findings: 1. copilot-sdk: true adoption has been flat at 61 workflows for three consecutive runs (runs 2, 3, 4) — true plateau confirmed, not a measurement artifact. 2. engine.version pinning for Copilot is still 0/89 after four cycles — every workflow rides latest, with zero deliberate exception. 3. --share, plugins, and custom engine.agent personas remain at effectively 0% adoption for the fourth straight cycle despite repeated flagging in runs 2 and 3. 4. shared/copilot-d...

[copilot-cli-research] Copilot CLI Deep Research - 2026-08-25

Analysis Date: 2026-08-25 Repository: github/gh-aw Scope: 292 total workflows, 109 using Copilot engine (23 with simple engine: copilot form, 86 with extended engine: {id: copilot, ...} form) 📊 Executive Summary Research Topic: Copilot CLI Optimization Opportunities Key Findings: 1. --share (conversation transcript export) and --allow-all-paths (manual) remain completely unused despite being available and even appearing in generated lock files for detection jobs — no workflow manually opts in for richer conversation artifacts. 2. Zero workflows pin engine.version for Copilot — this is now the third consecutive research run confirming this gap, meaning every workflow floats to "latest," w...
