# Copilot CLI Tool Mapping
|
|
|
|
Skills use Claude Code tool names. When you encounter these in a skill, use your platform equivalent:
|
|
|
|
| Skill references | Copilot CLI equivalent |
|
|
|-----------------|----------------------|
|
|
| `Read` (file reading) | `view` |
|
|
| `Write` (file creation) | `create` |
|
|
| `Edit` (file editing) | `edit` |
|
|
| `Bash` (run commands) | `bash` |
|
|
| `Grep` (search file content) | `grep` |
|
|
| `Glob` (search files by name) | `glob` |
|
|
| `Skill` tool (invoke a skill) | `skill` |
|
|
| `WebFetch` | `web_fetch` |
|
|
| `Task` tool (dispatch subagent) | `task` with `agent_type: "general-purpose"` or `"explore"` |
|
|
| Multiple `Task` calls (parallel) | Multiple `task` calls |
|
|
| Task status/output | `read_agent`, `list_agents` |
|
|
| `TodoWrite` (task tracking) | `sql` with built-in `todos` table |
|
|
| `WebSearch` | No equivalent — use `web_fetch` with a search engine URL |
|
|
| `EnterPlanMode` / `ExitPlanMode` | No equivalent — stay in the main session |
|
|
|
|
## Async shell sessions
|
|
|
|
Copilot CLI supports persistent async shell sessions, which have no direct Claude Code equivalent:
|
|
|
|
| Tool | Purpose |
|
|
|------|---------|
|
|
| `bash` with `async: true` | Start a long-running command in the background |
|
|
| `write_bash` | Send input to a running async session |
|
|
| `read_bash` | Read output from an async session |
|
|
| `stop_bash` | Terminate an async session |
|
|
| `list_bash` | List all active shell sessions |
|
|
|
|
## Additional Copilot CLI tools
|
|
|
|
| Tool | Purpose |
|
|
|------|---------|
|
|
| `store_memory` | Persist facts about the codebase for future sessions |
|
|
| `report_intent` | Update the UI status line with current intent |
|
|
| `sql` | Query the session's SQLite database (todos, metadata) |
|
|
| `fetch_copilot_cli_documentation` | Look up Copilot CLI documentation |
|
|
| GitHub MCP tools (`github-mcp-server-*`) | Native GitHub API access (issues, PRs, code search) |
|
