Hello
Today, copilot supports settings models in custom agents and prompt. Claude code supports setting model in a skill, allowing to use a smaller models for some tasks.

Today I have to write a skill AND a subagent, and shipping it into 2 different folder (again, to my understanding, Claude Code allows to define a custom agent INSIDE a skill folder).

My wish would be to have in SKILL.md frontmatter the following settings:

• context: fork (currently supported, sends the whole conversation to the model), context: reset (basically starts a new session)
• models: [Claude Sonnet 4.6 (copilot)] to allow me to change the models for this particular skill execution.

Use case: not impacting the current session

context: fork
models: [Claude Haiku 4.5 (copilot)]

=> this is a skill that resend the whole conversation to a new model and the output does not impact the current context.

Use case: cheap one-shot execution

context: reset
models: [Claude Haiku 4.5 (copilot)]

trigger a skill without any knowledge of the current session, everything is provided by the prompt
