Assign tasks to GitHub Copilot Agents

[moonolgerd]

I was able to compact squad.agent.md down to less than 30K lines, which allowed assigning Squad agent to GitLab Copilot Agent sessions.

I also add the following to .squad/routing.md:

- **Copilot agent task on assignment:** When any issue or PR is assigned to a dev agent (Kaylee, Wash, or any coding role), ALWAYS call `mcp_github_assign_copilot_to_issue` or `mcp_github_create_pull_request_with_copilot` to formally delegate to @copilot. A draft PR must be opened — labelling alone is not sufficient. Always pass `custom_agent: ".github/agents/squad.agent.md"` so Copilot runs as the Squad agent.

Would it make sense to couple Squad agents with actual GitHub Copilot Agent sessions?

Great timing, @moonolgerd! This is actually now live.

@copilot is a first-class team member in Squad. You can auto-assign via labels (tag issues with squad:copilot), use formal delegation from agent charters, and pass custom agent context so Copilot runs with full Squad awareness.

Check out the README for the latest on how @copilot integrates as a team member. Your diagram above is exactly the integration pattern we're now supporting! 🎉
