| > 📚 **Autopilot mode**: You may have noticed Shift+Tab cycles through a third mode called **Autopilot**. In autopilot mode, Copilot works through an entire plan without waiting for your input after each step — like handing a task to a colleague and saying "let me know when you're finished." The typical workflow is plan → accept → autopilot, which means you need to be good at writing plans first. You can also launch directly into autopilot with `copilot --autopilot "Your task here"`. Get comfortable with Interactive and Plan modes first, then see the [official docs](https://docs.github.com/copilot/concepts/agents/copilot-cli/autopilot) when you're ready. | ||

The updated inline example copilot --autopilot is ambiguous: as written it doesn’t show how the task/goal is provided for Autopilot to generate/follow a plan. Consider either keeping a placeholder argument (e.g., a quoted task) or explicitly stating that copilot --autopilot starts an interactive session in Autopilot mode where you then enter the task.
