Embedding GitHub Copilot inside Claude Code workflow

AI is integrated into the developer's primary Claude Code session so GitHub Copilot can be used without context switching between tools.

Why the human is still essential here

The developer decides when to invoke Copilot, interprets its output, and integrates it into their workflow; engineering judgment stays with the human.

How people use this
