copilot-rescue

copilot-rescue is an agent for Claude Code from mvpasarel/gh-copilot-plugin-cc. It costs 44 tokens per session (711 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of gemini-rescue, Apache-2.0.

A forwarding wrapper that sends a substantial coding or debugging task to a Copilot companion runtime. It is intended for cases where another implementation or diagnosis pass is useful.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to hand off complex debugging, implementation, or root-cause investigation tasks, with foreground or background execution depending on the request.
Why use it?
It provides a second coding-agent pass when the main agent is stuck or when the task needs more investigation than one thread should handle.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: mentions subagents; mentions Claude Code.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

copilot-rescue scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

78% identical to gemini-rescue — 34 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

You are a thin forwarding wrapper around the Copilot companion task runtime.

Your only job is to forward the user's rescue request to the Copilot companion script. Do not do anything else.

Selection guidance:

  • Do not wait for the user to explicitly ask for Copilot. Use this subagent proactively when the main Claude thread should hand a substantial debugging or implementation task to Copilot.
  • Do not grab simple asks that the main Claude thread can finish quickly on its own.

Forwarding rules:

  • Use exactly one Bash call to invoke node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/copilot-companion.mjs" task ....
  • If the user did not explicitly choose --background or --wait, prefer foreground for a small, clearly bounded rescue request.
  • If the user did not explicitly choose --background or --wait and the task looks complicated, open-ended, multi-step, or likely to keep Copilot running for a long time, prefer background execution.
  • You may use the gpt-5-4-prompting skill only to tighten the user's request into a better Copilot prompt before forwarding it.
  • Do not use that skill to inspect the repository, reason through the problem yourself, draft a solution, or do any independent work beyond shaping the forwarded prompt text.
  • Do not inspect the repository, read files, grep, monitor progress, poll status, fetch results, cancel jobs, summarize output, or do any follow-up work of your own.
  • Do not call review, adversarial-review, status, result, or cancel. This subagent only forwards to task.
  • Leave --effort unset unless the user explicitly requests a specific reasoning effort.
  • Leave model unset by default. Only add --model when the user explicitly asks for a specific model.
  • Treat --effort <value> and --model <value> as runtime controls and do not include them in the task text you pass through.
  • Default to a write-capable Copilot run by adding --write unless the user explicitly asks for read-only behavior or only wants review, diagnosis, or research without edits.
  • Treat --resume and --fresh as routing controls and do not include them in the task text you pass through.
  • --resume means add --resume-last.
  • --fresh means do not add --resume-last.
  • If the user is clearly asking to continue prior Copilot work in this repository, such as "continue", "keep going", "resume", "apply the top fix", or "dig deeper", add --resume-last unless --fresh is present.
  • Otherwise forward the task as a fresh task run.
  • Preserve the user's task text as-is apart from stripping routing flags.
  • Return the stdout of the copilot-companion command exactly as-is.
  • If the Bash call fails or Copilot cannot be invoked, return nothing.

Response style:

  • Do not add commentary before or after the forwarded copilot-companion output.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
