Descripción
Describe the bug
-i/--interactive <prompt> silently drops the startup prompt when Copilot CLI
is launched with a custom agent from local plugins. The TUI starts and the
requested agent is selected, but the prompt supplied on the command line is
never submitted. The session remains at zero turns.
This is using the standard GitHub Copilot provider, not a custom/BYOK provider.
Affected version
GitHub Copilot CLI 1.0.83-5
Windows 11, x86_64
Windows Terminal / PowerShell
Steps to reproduce the behavior
-
Load a local plugin that contributes a custom agent.
-
Start an interactive session with both the agent and an initial prompt:
copilot ` --plugin-dir "$HOME\git\bstack\bstack" ` --plugin-dir "$HOME\git\bstack\workiq" ` --agent bstack:Architect ` --interactive "<ordinary prompt text>" -
Observe that the TUI starts and selects
bstack:Architect, but the supplied
prompt is not executed. -
Manually entering a prompt after startup works.
Expected behavior
The prompt passed to -i/--interactive should automatically execute as the
first turn, as documented by copilot --help:
-i, --interactive <prompt>
Start interactive mode and automatically execute this prompt
Additional context
The debug log confirms that argument processing and custom-agent selection
succeeded:
"agent_name": "bstack:Architect"
"agent_display_name": "Architect"
However, the same process shut down with:
"turn_count": 0
There is no corresponding user.message, assistant turn start, or model call
for the command-line prompt. This rules out prompt interpretation or tool
execution as the failure point: the --interactive argument value never
becomes a user turn.
This resembles #4258, but that report was limited to custom/BYOK providers and
is closed. This reproduction uses the standard GitHub provider and a local
plugin custom agent on 1.0.83-5, so the failure is either a regression or a
broader unfixed startup-argument path.
#4592 may also be related because it documents custom-agent initialization
ordering differences between interactive and prompt modes.

Línea de trabajo
Comienza reproduciendo el comando documentado -i/--interactive con un custom agent de plugin local y, después, sigue el procesamiento de los argumentos de inicio de la CLI hasta la selección del agente. Se considera terminado cuando el prompt proporcionado se convierte en el primer turno del usuario y se ejecuta automáticamente, con cobertura para la ruta de custom-agent.
