/fork — Copilot CLI Skill

A skill for GitHub Copilot CLI that generates a comprehensive session context summary and copies it to your clipboard, enabling seamless handoff to a new session.

What It Does

When you type /fork, it:

1. Reads your current session metadata and checkpoint history
2. Composes a structured handoff document with accomplishments, key files, technical decisions, environment state, and pending work
3. Copies the document to your clipboard via pbcopy
4. Displays the full context in the terminal

Installation

Copy SKILL.md into your Copilot skills directory:

mkdir -p ~/.copilot/skills/fork
cp SKILL.md ~/.copilot/skills/fork/SKILL.md

Usage

In any Copilot CLI session, just type:

/fork

Then paste the clipboard contents into a new Copilot session to continue exactly where you left off.

Requirements

• macOS (uses pbcopy)
• GitHub Copilot CLI
