A practical workflow for using GitHub Copilot effectively without chasing every new AI tool. The approach covers eight steps: picking a tool, enabling YOLO/allow-all mode for agent autonomy, prototyping visually before coding, planning methodically using plan mode to surface edge cases, implementing with Autopilot's built-in loop, iterating through human review, performing a Rubber Duck cross-model review, and committing the result. The core argument is that mastering the existing harness — the fundamental interaction model — yields more productivity gains than constantly adopting new tools, prompts, or configurations.
