GitHub Copilot CLI is explored as a terminal-based AI coding assistant with a free tier (50 chat requests/month). Key features covered include installation as a standalone binary (runnable in Docker), the init command for generating repository context files, custom agent creation via markdown files in the .github/agents folder, and a skills system that lazily loads context to save tokens. Skills can bundle scripts and assets, enabling the agent to autonomously provision infrastructure like a local Kubernetes cluster. MCP integration is also demonstrated, allowing natural language queries against a running cluster.
