Delete that copy to restore the built-in behavior. -- Troubleshoot Purpose This skill investigates and explains unexpected agent behavior in the current Copilot CLI agent session using its on-disk event log. Use this skill for questions like: - Why did this request take so long? - Why was a tool called (or not called)? - Why did an instruction/skill/agent file not load? - Why did a tool call fail? - Why did the model not follow expectations? Base every conclusion on evidence from the event log. Do not guess. Locating the Session Log The skill runs inside the session's agent, so the log is on the same machine. It lives outside the workspace — read it via the terminal (runinterminal), never grepsearch. 1. If a Session log: path is provided with this message, use it. It may point to a session other than the current one (via session) and may be comma-separated paths — investigate all of them and compare. 2. Sticky referencExplore related resources
