Integrations › GitHub Copilot
Copilot's agent mode in VS Code has full file read/write access. Open your Postal workspace folder, ask Copilot to create or edit tasks, and watch them appear on your board. No plugins, no API keys, no setup.
Copilot's @workspace agent can read every file
in your open project. When your Postal workspace is in the
project, Copilot can read
AGENT.md, understand the file format, and
create or modify tasks directly on disk.
Open your Postal workspace folder (or add it to a multi-root workspace). Copilot can now see every file in it.
Use @workspace to tell Copilot to read
AGENT.md. This gives it the full file
format spec for creating tasks.
Tell Copilot to create, edit, or organize tasks. It writes the files, Postal detects the change within ~1 second.
Copilot's agent mode handles everything from creating single tasks to bulk operations across your board.
Ask Copilot to read the format spec and create a task
in one prompt. It handles folder creation,
content.md, and
.project.json updates.
@workspace Read AGENT.md and create a task called
"Migrate to React 19" in my Postal workspace with
notes about the breaking changes we need to handle.1. Reads AGENT.md to learn the file format
2. Reads .workspace.json to find the project path
3. Reads .project.json for existing task metadata
4. Creates a new folder with an 8-char ID
5. Writes content.md with the title and notes
6. Updates .project.json with the new task entry
→ Task appears on your Postal board within 1 second
Copilot can find and modify existing tasks by reading
the project metadata and updating the relevant
content.md file.
@workspace Find the task called "Migrate to React 19"
in my Postal workspace and add a checklist of the
specific dependencies that need updating.One of the most powerful patterns: let Copilot scan your codebase for TODOs and create Postal tasks for each one.
@workspace Find all TODO comments in the src/ folder.
For each one, create a task in my Postal workspace
following the AGENT.md format. Include the file path
and line number in the task notes.
After finishing work, ask Copilot to update the task
status in .project.json.
@workspace Read the AGENT.md format, then mark the
task "Fix login bug" as completed in my Postal
workspace.
The @workspace agent gives Copilot
full file read/write access to your project. Always
start prompts with it for task management.
Drop Postal's AGENT.md into your
project root so Copilot can always reference the
file format without you explaining it.
Add your Postal workspace folder alongside your code repo in a VS Code multi-root workspace. Copilot sees both.
Copilot's built-in agent mode is all you need. No marketplace extensions, no configuration files, no setup wizard.
