What I do

Add GitHub Copilot as a reviewer to an existing pull request using the correct gh CLI command (requires gh v2.88.0 or later).

When to use me

Use this when the user asks to add @copilot as a reviewer to a pull request, or to "request a Copilot review".

Steps

1. Confirm the PR number (use gh pr view to find it if not provided).

2. Check that the gh CLI is v2.88.0 or later:

   gh --version
   

3. Add Copilot as a reviewer:

   gh pr edit <PR_NUMBER> --add-reviewer @copilot
   

   If no PR number is supplied, gh pr edit without a number targets the PR for the current branch.

Notes

• The --reviewer copilot flag (without @) and the GitHub REST/GraphQL reviewer API do not work for Copilot — they resolve a human login, not the Copilot bot. Always use @copilot with gh pr edit.
• A @copilot review comment on the PR also triggers a review, but gh pr edit --add-reviewer @copilot is the canonical CLI approach since gh v2.88.0.
