Install Agent LCM in GitHub Copilot CLI

What setup does

Run:

agent-lcm setup copilot

When the CLI is available, setup builds a private Copilot-format package with the absolute installed Agent LCM command, then runs copilot plugin install. The package includes the recall skill, capture hooks, and MCP server. Copilot CLI copies it into its plugin store, so setup removes the temporary source after installation. Setup does not add duplicate shared hooks. The legacy fallback path is ~/.copilot/hooks/agent-lcm.json; setup preserves an existing fallback when native installation is unavailable, adds no new duplicate, and reports manual-required with this guide.

Native install and inspection

If setup reports that copilot is missing, install Copilot CLI using GitHub's official install guide, then rerun setup:

agent-lcm setup copilot
copilot plugin list

Do not use the repository root as a substitute for setup. Its Agent Plugins manifest contains portable skills and MCP but no hooks. Setup writes the client-specific hooks and the absolute installed command into a Copilot-format package. The list command shows the installed plugin. See the Copilot CLI plugin reference for the supported command set.

The Copilot CLI reference does not require a restart after installation. If a new plugin is not visible, start a new Copilot session as troubleshooting and run copilot plugin list again.

agent-lcm setup status reports legacy hooksConfigured state, not live native plugin health. false is expected after a successful native install; use copilot plugin list for the native check.

Warning: GitHub Copilot CLI and VS Code share the native Copilot plugin store. A deliberate native uninstall affects both harnesses. Do not uninstall the shared plugin when you mean to remove only Copilot CLI. A legacy ~/.copilot/hooks/agent-lcm.json fallback, if present, is separate.

Remove Agent LCM

The safe single-harness command retains the shared native plugin:

agent-lcm remove copilot

It reports shared-retained, leaves the shared store unchanged, and does not edit a legacy fallback hook file. To deliberately remove the shared native installation from both harnesses, run:

copilot plugin uninstall agent-lcm

Review both harnesses before removing the shared hook file. Do not delete unrelated entries from ~/.copilot/hooks/agent-lcm.json.
