Automate coding implementation with Copilot
Use /autopilot to let Copilot work through implementation steps towards a given goal.
/autopilot
This command switches the session to Autopilot mode.
Autopilot: Implementing the user authentication module based on the /plan. Step 1: Generate user model schema. Step 2: Create authentication API endpoints. Step 3: Implement password hashing and verification. Step 4: Integrate with JWT for session management.
Leverage the `/autopilot` slash command to delegate coding implementation to Copilot. Provide a goal, and Copilot will manage the steps needed to complete the task, allowing for iteration.
This command shifts Copilot into an active implementation mode, where it takes the lead on executing code based on defined objectives.
