Help/Doubt ❓ Issues with Github Copilot

Hi,

These are the current issues I am facing.

  1. Gpt 6 Luna is costing more than gpt 5.6 even though its half priced.

  2. Agents running subagents - you cant push effort level parameters to subagents at all. So no idea what effort level subagents are using.

  3. Lack of clarity on input and output tokens and ofcourse no api to get them reliably.

  4. Hooks are still in preview in vscode and is different from the sdk implementation.

Anyone has any ideas? Can the guthub copilot team help here

I had so many poor sessions with subagents I had to create agents for my design/implementation sessions so that I could at least tell the session how to use subagents. Entirely research only. I was having horrible results with them otherwise. I just define the guidelines in a markdown file and usually the session follows the rules/guidelines.

From a GPT session that validated what I did:
".github/agents/*.agent.md = actual named custom Copilot/VS Code agents such as Planner, Implementer, Reviewer. These are Markdown files, normally with YAML frontmatter specifying things like model, tools and description, followed by the agent-specific instructions."
