Custom agents with builtin agent names are silently ignored #1528
If a user creates a custom agent (e.g., .github/agents/explore.md) that shares a name with a builtin agent (explore, task, code-review, general-purpose), the custom agent loads successfully but can never be invoked. The task tool dispatch logic checks builtin agents first via isYamlBasedAgent(), so the builtin always takes precedence. No warning or error is surfaced — the conflict is silently ignored.
just for my case, i purpose just make option to entirely disable builtin agents from start, while i believe vscode's copilot chat didnt have, and also concerns about permission overtaking(read+agent agent can spawn write agent etc)
This appears to be resolved as of GitHub Copilot CLI v1.0.107. Please update to that release or a newer stable version. We're closing this as completed. If it still happens, please comment with your version and reproduction steps.
