What it does

Endgame is an agent skill from microsoft/copilot-for-eclipse, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Orchestrate endgame verification for a GitHub milestone issue. Fetches the issue, parses assigned tasks, delegates each task to a subagent that researches the linked PR/issue and writes a test plan, and saves every plan to com.microsoft.copilot.eclipse.swtbot.test/test-plans/ following the project's standard test-plan format.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Testing & QA, covering Test generation, Subagents and Project management. It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: GitHub Copilot plugin for Eclipse IDE. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Test generation
  • Tasks that involve Subagents
  • Tasks that involve Project management

Example prompts

  • “/endgame”

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Ask the user for inputs
  2. Fetch the endgame issue (ONE call only)
  3. Process each task via subagent
  4. Research the task
  5. Create the test-plan file
  6. Return a brief summary
  7. Final summary

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 00733c2. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • gh

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use gh, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Endgame loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 84 tokens; SKILL.md has 560 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~84
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Orchestrate endgame verification for a GitHub milestone issue. Fetches the issue, parses assigned tasks, delegates each task to a subagent that researches the linked PR/issue and writes a test plan, and saves every plan to com.microsoft.copilot.eclipse.swtbot.test/test-plans/ following the project's standard test-plan format.

Endgame Verification Skill

Use this skill to run an endgame verification pass for a GitHub milestone issue. Each task in the issue is delegated to a subagent that researches the linked PR/issue and writes a test plan under com.microsoft.copilot.eclipse.swtbot.test/test-plans/.

Workflow

⚠️ CRITICAL — YOU MUST FOLLOW THESE RULES:

  1. Do NOT run gh pr view or gh issue view for individual tasks — only run it once for the main endgame issue.
  2. Do NOT research or analyse any task yourself.
  3. Do NOT create any test-plan files yourself.
  4. IMMEDIATELY call runSubagent for each task after parsing the issue — no delays, no research.

Step 1 — Ask the user for inputs

Ask for:

  • The GitHub endgame issue URL (e.g. https://github.com/microsoft/copilot-for-eclipse/issues/XXXX)
  • The user's GitHub account name

Step 2 — Fetch the endgame issue (ONE call only)
shell
gh issue view <issue_number> --repo microsoft/copilot-for-eclipse --json body --jq '.body'

Parse the body to find all tasks (checkboxes) assigned to the specified user. Extract each task's title and any linked PR/issue URL as plain text.

STOP — do NOT fetch any of the linked PRs or issues.


Step 3 — Process each task via subagent

For each task, call runSubagent with:

  • description: "Endgame: <short_task_title>"
  • prompt: the template below, filled in with only the info you extracted.
Subagent prompt template

Task Details

  • Task Number: <N>
  • Task Title: <task_title>
  • Assignee: <username>
  • Related Issue/PR: <link_if_available> (NOT YET FETCHED — you must fetch this)

Your Mission

YOU (the subagent) must research this task AND create the test-plan file.

Step 1: Research the task
  • Fetch the linked PR or issue with gh pr view / gh issue view.
  • Understand what feature or fix needs to be verified.
  • If anything is ambiguous or unclear after reading the PR/issue, ask the user for clarification before proceeding. Keep asking until you have enough information to write concrete, accurate test steps.
Show full SKILL.md (271 more words)Show less
Step 2: Create the test-plan file

Determine a short <feature-slug> (lowercase, hyphens, no special chars) derived from the task title (e.g. chat-history-restore).

Create the directory and file:

com.microsoft.copilot.eclipse.swtbot.test/test-plans/<feature-slug>/<feature-slug>.md

Use exactly this format, matching the project's existing test plans (see com.microsoft.copilot.eclipse.swtbot.test/test-plans/thinking-persistence/thinking-persistence.md for a live example):

markdown
# <Feature / Task Title>

## Overview
<1–3 sentences: what is being verified and why it matters.>

---

## Test Cases

### TC-001: <Specific test case title>

**Type:** `Happy Path`
**Priority:** `P0`

#### Preconditions
- <Specific state required before starting these steps>

#### Steps
1. <Detailed, concrete step>
2. <Next step>
3. <Continue as needed>

#### Expected Result
- <Observable outcome that proves the feature works>

#### 📸 Key Screenshots
- [ ] **<Label>** — <What to capture>

---

### TC-002: <Next scenario if needed>
<!-- Repeat TC block for each distinct scenario. Use TC-003, TC-004, … -->

---

## Screenshots Checklist
> Consolidated list of all key screenshot moments.

- [ ] `TC-001` <Label>
- [ ] `TC-002` <Label>

Guidelines:

  • Overview: 1–3 sentences max. Do not repeat what is already covered by Preconditions or Steps.
  • Type values: Happy Path, Negative, Edge Case, Regression.
  • Priority values: P0 (must-pass), P1 (high), P2 (medium).
  • Use 3-digit zero-padded TC numbers: TC-001, TC-002, TC-003, …
  • Omit 📸 Key Screenshots within a TC block if there are no meaningful screenshots to capture for that case.
  • Keep the ## Screenshots Checklist section at the end — list every screenshot across all TC blocks.
  • If you are still unsure about any step after researching, ask the user before writing that step — do not guess.
Step 3: Return a brief summary

Return ONLY:

  • File path created (e.g. com.microsoft.copilot.eclipse.swtbot.test/test-plans/chat-history-restore/chat-history-restore.md)
  • One-line summary of what needs to be verified

Step 4 — Final summary

After all subagents complete, provide:

  • A table of all generated test-plan files
  • Total tasks processed
  • Any tasks that could not be processed (with reasons)

Notes

  • NEVER run gh pr view or gh issue view on task links yourself — only on the main endgame issue. Subagents handle the individual links.
  • NEVER analyse or research tasks yourself — immediately delegate to subagents.
  • Each subagent runs independently.
  • Subagents should be concise — create the file and return a brief summary.
  • If a task is still unclear after the user is asked, note the outstanding question inside the test-plan file.
  • Use slugified task titles for the feature slug and directory name (lowercase, hyphens, no special characters).
