SHORT DESCRIPTION
    GitHub Copilot in your PowerShell terminal: device-flow auth, model listing,
    chat and agentic tool-calling with usage and cost.

LONG DESCRIPTION
    ShellPilot brings the non-editor features of the GitHub Copilot Chat VS Code
    extension to the PowerShell terminal and to automation scripts. It talks to
    the same internal Copilot HTTP services, authenticates once with the GitHub
    device-code flow, and returns rich objects (answer, token usage, estimated
    cost) that compose with the pipeline.

    All cmdlets use the noun prefix 'Shp'. Get started with:

        Initialize-Shp # device-code sign-in (run once)
        Get-ShpModel # list the models your account can reach
        Invoke-Shp -Prompt '...' # send a prompt; streams the reply by default

    Invoke-Shp runs a tool-calling loop (web browsing, file read/write/list,
    run_command, and ask_user, each opt-out), follows custom instructions and
    Agent Skills, supports structured output, vision input, a live reasoning
    trace (-ShowThinking), an on-by-default manage_todo_list tool
    (-DisableTodoList to opt out), and structured ShpProgress progress events.
    Start-ShpChat opens an interactive console session.

    Every public cmdlet has full comment-based help; use Get-Help <cmdlet> -Full.

EXAMPLES
    PS C:\> Initialize-Shp
    PS C:\> Invoke-Shp -Prompt 'Explain PowerShell splatting in two sentences.'
    PS C:\> Invoke-Shp -Model claude-opus-4.8 -Prompt 'Prove there are infinitely many primes.' -ShowThinking
    PS C:\> Start-ShpChat

NOTE:
    ShellPilot calls internal Copilot endpoints intended for first-party
    editors; they can change without notice. The cached OAuth token is stored in
    clear text today, and the file/terminal tools run unsandboxed with your
    privileges - disable them (-DisableFileAccess / -DisableTerminal) for
    untrusted prompts.

TROUBLESHOOTING NOTE:
    See the GitHub repository for issues and new releases.
