Requires extended permissions (shell access, subagents). Review before use.

Updated within the last 90 days. Actively maintained.

Unverified skill. Always review source code before installing any skill from an unknown author.

Multi-agent spawning capability: Repository contains .agents directory with multiple skill definitions (anthropic-sdk-upgrader, launch) suggesting autonomous agent orchestration
Autonomous command execution: README explicitly states agents 'autonomously planning work, editing files, running commands, and self-correcting' without explicit human approval gates per operation
Terminal/shell access patterns: References to 'running terminal commands' and task automation indicate shell execution capabilities
Complex automation workflows: GitHub Actions workflows (.github/workflows/) and devcontainer configurations suggest automated execution pipelines
Official Microsoft repository: Significantly mitigates risk - this is a legitimate vendor tool (Microsoft/GitHub Copilot) with expected autonomous capabilities as core product feature
