You really need to at least try Claude Code directly instead of using CoPilot. My work gives us access to CoPilot, Claude Code, and Codex. CoPilot isn’t close to the other more agentic products.

Vs code copilot extension the harness is not great, but Opus 4.5 with Copilot CLI works quite well.

Do they manage context differently or have different system prompts? I would assume a lot of that would be the same between them. I think GH Copilots biggest shortcoming is that they are too token cheap. Aggressively managing context to the detriment of the results. Watching Claude read a 500 line file in 100 line chunks just makes me sad.
