Every Copilot plan includes the CLI, from the limited Free tier through Pro at $10/mo and Pro+ at $39/mo to Business and Enterprise seats, with usage counted in AI credits. Bringing your own provider is not documented.

what it’s good at

The draw is native GitHub integration: repos, issues, and pull requests are addressable in natural language, and GitHub’s own MCP server ships in the box alongside custom MCP support. It reads AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, and copilot-instructions.md, supports custom agents with automatic task delegation, and is rolling out cloud sandboxes.

GitHub Copilot CLI in crystl

GitHub Copilot CLI runs in a crystl shard with its own model selection, activity visibility, and real approval cards for the tools it gates itself. Crystl treats its compatibility as partial because an allow-all session drops every card, and crystl surfaces that state instead of pretending to gate it.

The profile describes what crystl has tested; it never supplies a command, hook script, or launch setting. Those remain local to the Crystl installation.
