Copilot CLI Tool Mapping

Skills speak in actions ("dispatch a subagent", "create a todo", "read a file"). On Copilot CLI these resolve to the tools below.

Action skills request	Copilot CLI equivalent
Read a file	`view`
Create / edit / delete a file	`apply_patch` (Copilot CLI has no separate create/edit/write tools)
Run a shell command	`bash`
Search file contents	`rg` (ripgrep; Copilot CLI does not expose a `grep` tool)
Find files by name	`glob`
Fetch a URL	`web_fetch`
Search the web	`web_search`
Invoke a skill	`skill`
Dispatch a subagent (`Subagent (general-purpose):` template)	`task` with `agent_type: "general-purpose"` (other accepted types: `explore`, `task`, `code-review`, `research`, `configure-copilot`)
Multiple parallel dispatches	Multiple `task` calls in one response
Subagent status/output/control	`read_agent`, `list_agents`, `write_agent`
Task tracking ("create a todo", "mark complete")	`update_todo`
Enter / exit plan mode	No equivalent — stay in the main session
