Use the assign.sh script in this skill's directory to assign a GitHub issue to the Copilot coding agent (CCA).
Run the script with the following arguments:
bash <skill-directory>/assign.sh <issue-number> [custom-agent-name]
issue-number (required): The GitHub issue number to assign.custom-agent-name (optional): The name of a custom agent to use (e.g., deskocat, electron-upgrader).Assign issue #42 to Copilot with the default agent:
bash <skill-directory>/assign.sh 42
Assign issue #42 to Copilot with a specific custom agent:
bash <skill-directory>/assign.sh 42 deskocat
Before assigning, you can check which custom agents are available by looking at .github/agents/ in the repository. Each .agent.md file defines a custom agent.
