How to Delegate PR Creation in GitHub Copilot CLI【/delegate】

Overview#

Ever reached the point where you’ve figured out what needs to be done, but just wish someone else would do the actual implementation and open the PR?

That’s literally what /delegate does. It sends your session to GitHub’s Copilot coding agent to finish the work and create a PR.


Usage#

Run this in Copilot CLI:

/copilot> /delegate

Your session (conversation and decisions) is sent to GitHub. The Copilot coding agent picks it up, implements the changes remotely, and creates a PR.


When to Use It#

ScenarioWhy it helps
The plan is clear, implementation is straightforwardNo need to wait locally
Large refactoring tasksLet it run in the background
Quick PR for a small fixSkip the manual branch/commit/push dance

Things to Note#

  • The Copilot coding agent on GitHub does the actual work
  • The result arrives as a PR — review before merging
  • May not be available depending on your organization’s settings
