My manager doesn't even want us to use copilot locally. Now we are supposed to only use the GitHub copilot cloud agent. One shot from prompt to PR. With people like that selling vendor lock in for them these companies like GitHub, OpenAI, Anthropic etc don't even need sales and marketing departments!

You are aware that using eg. Github copilot is not one shot? It will start an agentic loop.

Why?

One shoting has a very specific meaning, and agentic workflows are not it?

What is the implied meaning I should understand from them using one shot?

They might refer to the lack of humans in the loop.

You give a prompt, you get a PR. If it is ready to merge with the first attempt, that’s a one shot. The agentic loop is a detail in their context
