Copilot CLI Agent Loading:
|
|
105
|
-
1. Searches .github/agents/ directory
|
|
106
|
-
2. Parses YAML frontmatter for 'name' field
|
|
107
|
-
3. Loads agent profile on /agent command
|
|
108
|
-
4. Matches name with --agent= flag
|
|
109
|
-
5. Fallback to inference from prompt mentions
|
|
110
|
-
|
|
111
|
-
Common Issues:
|
|
112
|
-
- Missing YAML frontmatter → agent not detected
|
|
113
|
-
- Wrong 'name' field → /agent won't list it
|
|
114
|
-
- Invalid Markdown structure → parsing fails
|
|
115
|
-
- Missing .github/agents/ directory → no custom agents
|
|
116
|
-
- Typo in agent name → --agent= won't match

BMAD Agent Structure:
|
|
121
|
-
- Full agent: _bmad/{module}/agents/{agent-name}.md
|
|
122
|
-
- Copilot stub: .github/agents/bmad-agent-{agent-name}.md
|
|
123
|
-
|
|
124
|
-
Stub References Full:
|
|
125
|
-
The .github/agents/ file is a lightweight stub that:
|
|
126
|
-
1. Defines YAML frontmatter for Copilot detection
|
|
127
|
-
2. Contains <agent-activation> instructions
|
|
128
|
-
3. Tells Copilot to load full agent from _bmad/
|
|
129
|
-
4. Full agent has complete persona, menu, workflows
|
|
130
|
-
|
|
131
|
-
Benefits:
|
|
132
|
-
- Copilot CLI detects via .github/agents/
|
|
133
|
-
- Full agent remains in _bmad/ with workflows
|
|
134
|
-
- Clean separation of detection vs implementation
|
|
135
|
-
- Easy to manage multiple agents

- <agent-activation> block referencing full agent file

Copilot CLI Agent Loading:
|
|
105
|
+
1. Searches .github/agents/ directory
|
|
106
|
+
2. Parses YAML frontmatter for 'name' field
|
|
107
|
+
3. Loads agent profile on /agent command
|
|
108
|
+
4. Matches name with --agent= flag
|
|
109
|
+
5. Fallback to inference from prompt mentions
|
|
110
|
+
|
|
111
|
+
Common Issues:
|
|
112
|
+
- Missing YAML frontmatter → agent not detected
|
|
113
|
+
- Wrong 'name' field → /agent won't list it
|
|
114
|
+
- Invalid Markdown structure → parsing fails
|
|
115
|
+
- Missing .github/agents/ directory → no custom agents
|
|
116
|
+
- Typo in agent name → --agent= won't match

BMAD Agent Structure:
|
|
121
|
+
- Full agent: _bmad/{module}/agents/{agent-name}.md
|
|
122
|
+
- Copilot stub: .github/agents/bmad-agent-{agent-name}.md
|
|
123
|
+
|
|
124
|
+
Stub References Full:
|
|
125
|
+
The .github/agents/ file is a lightweight stub that:
|
|
126
|
+
1. Defines YAML frontmatter for Copilot detection
|
|
127
|
+
2. Contains <agent-activation> instructions
|
|
128
|
+
3. Tells Copilot to load full agent from _bmad/
|
|
129
|
+
4. Full agent has complete persona, menu, workflows
|
|
130
|
+
|
|
131
|
+
Benefits:
|
|
132
|
+
- Copilot CLI detects via .github/agents/
|
|
133
|
+
- Full agent remains in _bmad/ with workflows
|
|
134
|
+
- Clean separation of detection vs implementation
|
|
135
|
+
- Easy to manage multiple agents
