• The inputs block is incorrectly placed at the top level. If you intend to accept inputs via workflow_dispatch, move this under on.workflow_dispatch.inputs, or switch to on.workflow_call for reusable workflows.

inputs:

.github/workflows/copilot-setup-steps.yml:45

• This hard-codes the ROBOT version in the cache key. Consider using the robot-version input (e.g., ${{ inputs.robot-version }}) to keep the cache key in sync and allow overrides.

        key: ${{ runner.os }}-robot-v1.9.7

.github/workflows/copilot-setup-steps.yml:52

• The download URL hard-codes the ROBOT version. Replace 'v1.9.7' with the robot-version input variable to support version overrides.

          curl -L https://github.com/ontodev/robot/releases/download/v1.9.7/robot.jar -o ~/.jar-cache/robot.jar

.github/workflows/copilot-setup-steps.yml:59

• This URL also uses a hard-coded ROBOT version. Use the robot-version input to construct the path dynamically and keep it consistent.

        curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ontodev/robot/v1.9.7/bin/robot -o ${{ github.workspace }}/tools/robot

.github/copilot-instructions.md:1

• [nitpick] This file currently only contains a path. Consider formatting it as a markdown link (e.g., [See CLAUDE](../CLAUDE.md)) or adding context so its purpose is clear.

../CLAUDE.md

• [nitpick] These ls commands appear to be debugging steps and may clutter the workflow logs. Consider removing them or wrapping them in a debug-only condition.

        ls -alt ${{ github.workspace }}

• [nitpick] Cloning the default branch can lead to non-reproducible builds. Pin to a specific tag or commit hash for stability.

        git clone https://github.com/cmungall/obo-scripts.git ${{ github.workspace }}/tools/obo-scripts

Consider using the robot-version input

I am not sure this works with copilot mode. TODO check
