+# Copilot CLI Auto-Approval Wrapper
+
+This wrapper enables continual auto-prompts for GitHub Copilot CLI without requiring manual approvals.
+
+## Features
+
+- ✅ **Auto-approval**: Automatically approves all tool executions
+- ✅ **Safety limits**: Configurable max iterations and duration
+- ✅ **Tool filtering**: Deny specific dangerous operations
+- ✅ **Two modes**: Interactive and direct execution
+- ✅ **Configurable**: JSON config file or CLI arguments
+- ✅ **Session management**: Continue and resume previous sessions (opt-in)
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+# From this directory
+npm install -g .
+
+# Or link for development
+npm link
+```
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# Interactive mode with auto-approval
+copilot-auto
+
+# Direct mode with a specific task
+copilot-auto "Create a new Express server with authentication"
+
+# With custom limits
+copilot-auto --max-iterations 100 "Refactor the entire codebase"
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Option 1: Config File
+
+Create `~/.copilot-auto-config.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "maxIterations": 50,
+  "maxDuration": 1800000,
+  "allowAllTools": true,
+  "allowAllPaths": false,
+  "deniedTools": [
+    "shell(rm -rf *)",
+    "shell(git push)",
+    "shell(npm publish)"
+  ],
+  "model": "claude-sonnet-4.5"
+}
+```
+
+### Option 2: CLI Arguments
+
+```bash
+copilot-auto \
+  --max-iterations 100 \
+  --max-duration 3600000 \
+  --model gpt-5 \
+  --deny-tool "shell(rm *)" \
+  --deny-tool "shell(git push)" \
+  "Your prompt here"
+```
+
+## Safety Features
+
+### Iteration Limits
+Prevents infinite loops by limiting the number of actions:
+```bash
+copilot-auto --max-iterations 30 "Your task"
+```
+
+### Time Limits
+Automatically stops after a specified duration:
+```bash
+copilot-auto --max-duration 600000 "Your task"  # 10 minutes
+```
+
+### Tool Denial
+Block specific dangerous operations:
+```bash
+copilot-auto --deny-tool "shell(rm *)" --deny-tool "shell(git push)"
+```
+
+### Path Restrictions
+By default, file access is limited to the current directory. Use `--allow-all-paths` to override:
+```bash
+copilot-auto --allow-all-paths "Your task"
+```
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### Example 1: Build a Complete Feature
+```bash
+copilot-auto "Create a REST API for user management with CRUD operations, \
+including tests and documentation"
+```
+
+### Example 2: Debug and Fix
+```bash
+copilot-auto "Find and fix all bugs in the application, then run tests"
+```
+
+### Example 3: Interactive Session
+```bash
+copilot-auto --max-iterations 200
+# Then interact normally, but with auto-approval
+```
+
+### Example 4: Safe Refactoring
+```bash
+copilot-auto \
+  --deny-tool "shell(git push)" \
+  --deny-tool "shell(npm publish)" \
+  --max-iterations 100 \
+  "Refactor the entire codebase to use TypeScript"
+```
+
+## How It Works
+
+1. **Spawns Copilot CLI**: Launches the official `copilot` command as a child process
+2. **Passes Flags**: Automatically adds `--allow-all-tools` and other configured flags
+3. **Monitors Output**: Watches for prompts and automatically responds
+4. **Enforces Limits**: Tracks iterations and duration, stopping when limits are reached
+5. **Graceful Exit**: Properly terminates the CLI when stopping
+
+## Modes
+
+### Interactive Mode (Default without prompt)
+```bash
+copilot-auto
+```
+Starts an interactive session where Copilot can continue working with auto-approval.
+
+### Direct Mode (Default with prompt)
+```bash
+copilot-auto "Your task here"
+```
+Executes a single task and exits when complete.
+
+## Session Management
+
+Session management allows you to continue or resume previous Copilot sessions within a repository. This is an **opt-in** feature that must be explicitly enabled.
+
+### How It Works
+
+When session management is enabled, `copilot-auto` stores a lightweight pointer to the most recent session in `.copilot-auto/session-state.json` (gitignored) in your repository root. This enables repo-scoped session tracking, avoiding the issue of accidentally resuming sessions from different repositories.
+
+The state file contains only:
+- Repository root path
+- Last session ID (if available)
+- Timestamp of last use
+- Copilot CLI version
+
+**Important**: No sensitive data, prompts, or tool outputs are stored locally by `copilot-auto`. Session data is managed by the official Copilot CLI.
+
+### Enabling Session Management
+
+#### Option 1: Config File
+Add to your `~/.copilot-auto-config.json`:
+```json
+{
+  "session": {
+    "enabled": true,
+    "mode": "continue"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+#### Option 2: CLI Flags
+Use `--enable-session` or use `--continue`/`--resume` flags directly (which auto-enable it):
+```bash
+copilot-auto --enable-session "Your task"
+```
+
+### Continue Previous Session
+
+Resume the most recent session for this repository:
+```bash
+copilot-auto --continue "Add more tests"
+```
+
+Short form:
+```bash
+copilot-auto -C "Continue working on the feature"
+```
+
+### Resume Specific Session
+
+Resume a specific session by ID or use interactive picker:
+```bash
+# Interactive picker mode
+copilot-auto --resume "Complete authentication"
+
+# With specific session ID (if you know it)
+copilot-auto --resume <session-id> "Continue this work"
+```
+
+### Repo-Scoped Safety
+
+The wrapper implements repo-scoped session tracking to prevent "wrong repo session" issues:
+
+1. When `--continue` is used, the wrapper looks for the last session associated with the current repository
+2. It searches `.copilot-auto/session-state.json` for a saved session ID
+3. If not found, it scans `~/.copilot/session-state/` for sessions mentioning this repository path
+4. Only then does it fall back to the default Copilot CLI behavior
+
+This approach minimizes the risk of accidentally continuing a session from a different repository with the same branch name.
+
+### Session State Storage
+
+The repo-local session state is stored at:
+```
+<repo-root>/.copilot-auto/session-state.json
+```
+
+This file is automatically gitignored. To clear session history:
+```bash
+rm -rf .copilot-auto/
+```
+
+### Example Workflows
+
+#### Workflow 1: Multi-day feature development
+```bash
+# Day 1: Start feature
+copilot-auto --enable-session "Create user authentication system"
+
+# Day 2: Continue where you left off
+copilot-auto --continue "Add password reset functionality"
+
+# Day 3: Keep building
+copilot-auto -C "Add OAuth integration"
+```
+
+#### Workflow 2: Working across multiple repos
+```bash
+cd ~/project-a
+copilot-auto --continue "Add tests"  # Continues project-a session
+
+cd ~/project-b
+copilot-auto --continue "Refactor"   # Continues project-b session (not project-a!)
+```
+
+### Disabling Session Management
+
+Sessions are **disabled by default**. To explicitly disable if enabled in config:
+```bash
+# Session flags simply aren't used
+copilot-auto "Your task"  # Fresh session, no continuation
+```
+
+Or remove the `session` configuration from your config file.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### "copilot: command not found"
+Make sure GitHub Copilot CLI is installed:
+```bash
+npm install -g @github/copilot
+```
+
+### Wrapper stops too early
+Increase the limits:
+```bash
+copilot-auto --max-iterations 200 --max-duration 3600000
+```
+
+### Dangerous operations being executed
+Add them to denied tools:
+```bash
+copilot-auto --deny-tool "shell(dangerous-command)"
+```
+
+## Configuration Reference
+
+| Option | Type | Default | Description |
+|--------|------|---------|-------------|
+| `maxIterations` | number | 50 | Maximum number of iterations before stopping |
+| `maxDuration` | number | 1800000 | Maximum duration in milliseconds (30 min) |
+| `allowAllTools` | boolean | true | Allow all tools to run without confirmation |
+| `allowAllPaths` | boolean | false | Allow access to all file paths |
+| `deniedTools` | array | [] | List of tools to deny |
+| `model` | string | "claude-sonnet-4.5" | AI model to use |
+| `session.enabled` | boolean | false | Enable session management features |
+| `session.mode` | string | "continue" | Default session mode ("continue" or "resume") |
+
+## Safety Recommendations
+
+For production use, consider these safety measures:
+
+1. **Always set iteration limits**: Prevents runaway processes
+2. **Use time limits**: Ensures the process doesn't run indefinitely
+3. **Deny dangerous operations**: Block `rm`, `git push`, `npm publish`, etc.
+4. **Restrict paths**: Don't use `--allow-all-paths` unless necessary
+5. **Monitor logs**: Check `~/.copilot/logs/` for activity
+6. **Run in containers**: For maximum isolation
+7. **Use version control**: Always work in a git repo with uncommitted changes
+
+## Development
+
+```bash
+# Clone and link
+cd copilot-cli
+npm link
+
+# Make changes to index.js
+
+# Test
+copilot-auto --help
+```

+# Copilot CLI Auto-Approval Wrapper 🤖
+
+A powerful automation tool that wraps GitHub Copilot CLI to enable hands-free, autonomous coding sessions with built-in safety controls.
+
+## What Does This Do?
+
+This tool lets GitHub Copilot CLI run on **autopilot** - it automatically approves all actions so Copilot can complete complex tasks without you having to constantly click "yes" or "approve". Think of it like setting Copilot to cruise control!
+
+Perfect for:
+- 🏗️ Building entire features or projects autonomously
+- 🔧 Large-scale refactoring operations
+- 🧪 Generating comprehensive test suites
+- 📝 Creating documentation across multiple files
+- 🔄 Repetitive coding tasks that require many steps

+### Step 3: Install Globally (Optional but Recommended)
+
+This lets you run `copilot-auto` from anywhere on your computer:
+
+```bash
+npm install -g .
+```
+
+Or use the shortcut:
+```bash
+npm run install-global
+```
+
+**Note:** You might need administrator/sudo permissions:
+- **Windows:** Run PowerShell as Administrator
+- **Mac/Linux:** Use `sudo npm install -g .`
+
+## How to Use It
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+**Interactive Mode** (like a chat session):
+```bash
+copilot-auto
+```
+
+This opens an interactive session where you can have a back-and-forth conversation with Copilot. All actions are automatically approved.
+
+**Direct Mode** (give it a task and let it work):
+```bash
+copilot-auto "Create a REST API with Express.js and add tests"
+```
+
+This runs the task and exits when complete.
+
+### Common Examples
+
+**1. Build a complete feature:**
+```bash
+copilot-auto "Create a user authentication system with login, signup, and password reset"
+```
+
+**2. Refactor existing code:**
+```bash
+copilot-auto "Refactor all JavaScript files to use ES6 modules and add JSDoc comments"
+```
+
+**3. Generate tests:**
+```bash
+copilot-auto "Create comprehensive unit tests for all functions in the src folder"
+```
+
+**4. Create documentation:**
+```bash
+copilot-auto "Generate README.md files for each module explaining what it does"
+```
+
+**5. Set up a new project:**
+```bash
+copilot-auto "Initialize a React project with TypeScript, ESLint, and Prettier configured"
+```
+
+### Safety Controls
+
+The tool has built-in limits to prevent runaway operations:
+
+**Set maximum iterations** (how many steps it can take):
+```bash
+copilot-auto --max-iterations 100 "Build a blog application"
+```
+
+**Set maximum time** (in milliseconds):
+```bash
+copilot-auto --max-duration 1800000 "Refactor the entire codebase"
+```
+(1800000 ms = 30 minutes)
+
+**Deny specific dangerous operations:**
+```bash
+copilot-auto --deny-tool "shell(rm -rf)" --deny-tool "shell(git push)" "Clean up old files"
+```
+
+**Choose a different AI model:**
+```bash
+copilot-auto --model gpt-5 "Explain this codebase"
+```
+
+## Configuration File
+
+Instead of typing options every time, create a configuration file that sets your defaults.
+
+**Create a file at:** `~/.copilot-auto-config.json`
+
+**Location by OS:**
+- **Windows:** `C:\Users\YourUsername\.copilot-auto-config.json`
+- **Mac/Linux:** `/Users/YourUsername/.copilot-auto-config.json` or `~/.copilot-auto-config.json`
+
+**Example configuration:**
+```json
+{
+  "maxIterations": 50,
+  "maxDuration": 1800000,
+  "allowAllTools": true,
+  "allowAllPaths": false,
+  "autoApprove": true,
+  "deniedTools": [
+    "shell(rm -rf)",
+    "shell(git push --force)"
+  ],
+  "model": "claude-sonnet-4.5"
+}
+```
+
+**What each setting means:**
+- `maxIterations`: Maximum number of steps Copilot can take (default: 50)
+- `maxDuration`: Maximum time in milliseconds (default: 1,800,000 = 30 minutes)
+- `allowAllTools`: Let Copilot use any tool it needs (default: true)
+- `allowAllPaths`: Let Copilot access any file path (default: false for safety)
+- `autoApprove`: Automatically approve all actions (default: true)
+- `deniedTools`: List of specific commands to block
+- `model`: Which AI model to use (default: "claude-sonnet-4.5")
+
+## Understanding the Output
+
+When you run `copilot-auto`, you'll see:
+
+```
+🤖 Starting Copilot CLI with auto-approval
+📊 Limits: 50 iterations, 1800s duration
+🔧 Allow all tools: true
+🔧 Allow all paths: false
+
+Running: copilot --model claude-sonnet-4.5 --allow-all-tools -p "Your prompt"
+```
+
+**Status indicators:**
+- `✓` = Success, operation completed
+- `⚠` = Warning, limit reached or issue detected
+- `🛑` = Stopped by user or system
+- `[AUTO-APPROVED]` = An action was automatically approved
+
+**Final summary:**
+```
+✓ Copilot CLI exited with code 0
+📊 Total iterations: 27
+⏱  Duration: 145.3s
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### "Command not found: copilot-auto"
+
+**Solution:** You haven't installed it globally. Run:
+```bash
+npm install -g .
+```
+Or use it directly with:
+```bash
+node index.js "your prompt"
+```
+
+### "Command not found: copilot"
+
+**Solution:** You need to install GitHub Copilot CLI first:
+```bash
+npm install -g @github/copilot
+```
+
+### "Authentication required"
+
+**Solution:** Log in to GitHub:
+```bash
+copilot
+```
+Then type `/login` and follow the instructions.
+
+### "Maximum iterations reached"
+
+**Solution:** Increase the limit:
+```bash
+copilot-auto --max-iterations 200 "your prompt"
+```
+
+### Operation is taking too long
+
+**Solution:** Increase the duration limit:
+```bash
+copilot-auto --max-duration 3600000 "your prompt"
+```
+(3600000 ms = 1 hour)
+
+### Copilot is doing something dangerous
+
+**Solution:** Press `Ctrl+C` to stop immediately. Then add denied tools:
+```bash
+copilot-auto --deny-tool "shell(dangerous-command)" "your prompt"
+```
+
+## Safety Best Practices
+
+⚠️ **Important Safety Tips:**
+
+1. **Start in a test directory** - Don't run this on your main codebase until you're comfortable with how it works
+2. **Use version control** - Always have your code in git so you can undo changes:
+   ```bash
+   git init
+   git add .
+   git commit -m "Before copilot-auto"
+   ```
+3. **Set conservative limits** - Start with low iteration counts (10-20) until you trust it
+4. **Deny dangerous operations** - Block commands like `rm -rf`, `git push --force`, etc.
+5. **Monitor the first few runs** - Watch what it does so you understand its behavior
+6. **Use `allowAllPaths: false`** - This prevents access to files outside your project
+
+## Advanced Usage

+Or use the shortcut:
+```bash
+npm run uninstall
+```
+
+## How It Works (Behind the Scenes)
+
+This tool is a wrapper around GitHub Copilot CLI. Here's what happens:
+
+1. **You run `copilot-auto "your task"`**
+2. The wrapper starts GitHub Copilot CLI with special flags:
+   - `--allow-all-tools` = Gives Copilot permission to use all tools
+   - `--model` = Specifies which AI to use
+   - `--allow-all-paths` = (Optional) Allows file access everywhere
+3. **As Copilot works**, the wrapper:
+   - Automatically approves any confirmation prompts
+   - Counts iterations and tracks time
+   - Enforces your safety limits
+4. **When complete**, it shows you a summary of what was done
+
+The original Copilot CLI requires you to manually approve each action. This wrapper automates those approvals while adding safety rails.
+
+## Getting Help
+
+**View all options:**
+```bash
+copilot-auto --help
+```
+
+**Check version:**
+```bash
+copilot-auto --version
+```
+
+**Get help with Copilot CLI:**
+```bash
+copilot --help
+```
+
+## Tips for Beginners
+
+1. **Start small** - Try simple tasks first like "Create a hello world function"
+2. **Be specific** - The more detailed your prompt, the better the results
+3. **Review the output** - After it finishes, check what was created/modified
+4. **Iterate** - If it doesn't get it right, run it again with clarifications
+5. **Learn from it** - Read the code it generates to understand patterns
+6. **Use version control** - Git is your friend - commit often!
+
+## Example Workflow
+
+Here's a complete workflow for creating a new project:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Create and enter a new directory
+mkdir my-project
+cd my-project
+
+# 2. Initialize git for safety
+git init
+
+# 3. Run copilot-auto with a detailed prompt
+copilot-auto "Create a Node.js REST API with the following features:
+- Express.js web server
+- User registration and login endpoints
+- PostgreSQL database connection
+- Input validation middleware
+- Error handling
+- Basic unit tests with Jest
+- README with API documentation"
+
+# 4. Review what was created
+ls -la
+
+# 5. Check if it works
+npm install
+npm test
+npm start
+
+# 6. Commit the results
+git add .
+git commit -m "Initial project setup by Copilot"
+```

+# Installation & Setup Guide
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Before installing the auto-approval wrapper, ensure you have:
+
+1. ✅ **Node.js v22+** installed
+2. ✅ **GitHub Copilot CLI** installed: `npm install -g @github/copilot`
+3. ✅ **Active Copilot subscription**
+4. ✅ **Authenticated** with GitHub (run `copilot` and use `/login`)
+
+## Installation
+
+### Method 1: Global Install (Recommended)
+
+```bash
+cd copilot-cli
+npm install -g .
+```
+
+### Method 2: Development Link
+
+```bash
+cd copilot-cli
+npm link
+```
+
+### Method 3: Direct Install from npm (Future)
+
+```bash
+# Once published
+npm install -g copilot-cli-auto
+```
+
+## Verification
+
+Check that installation was successful:
+
+```bash
+# Check version
+copilot-auto --version
+
+# View help
+copilot-auto --help
+
+# View examples
+npm run examples
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Quick Start (No Config Needed)
+
+The wrapper works out of the box with sensible defaults:
+- Max 50 iterations
+- 30-minute timeout
+- All tools allowed
+- Restricted to current directory
+
+```bash
+copilot-auto "Your task here"
+```
+
+### Custom Configuration (Optional)
+
+Create `~/.copilot-auto-config.json` for persistent settings:
+
+```bash
+# Copy the example config
+cp .copilot-auto-config.example.json ~/.copilot-auto-config.json
+
+# Edit with your preferences
+code ~/.copilot-auto-config.json
+```
+
+Example configuration:
+
+```json
+{
+  "maxIterations": 100,
+  "maxDuration": 3600000,
+  "allowAllTools": true,
+  "allowAllPaths": false,
+  "deniedTools": [
+    "shell(rm -rf *)",
+    "shell(git push --force)",
+    "shell(npm publish)",
+    "shell(sudo *)"
+  ],
+  "model": "claude-sonnet-4.5"
+}
+```
+
+### Configuration Priority
+
+1. **CLI arguments** (highest priority)
+2. **Config file** (`~/.copilot-auto-config.json`)
+3. **Default values** (lowest priority)
+
+Example of overriding config:
+
+```bash
+# Config file says maxIterations: 50
+# But CLI override sets it to 100
+copilot-auto --max-iterations 100 "Your task"
+```
+
+## First Run
+
+### Test Basic Functionality
+
+```bash
+# Simple test
+copilot-auto "Create a file called hello.txt with 'Hello World'"
+
+# Verify it worked
+cat hello.txt
+```
+
+### Test with Limits
+
+```bash
+copilot-auto \
+  --max-iterations 10 \
+  --max-duration 60000 \
+  "List all JavaScript files in this directory"
+```
+
+### Test Interactive Mode
+
+```bash
+copilot-auto --max-iterations 20
+# Then interact normally, but with auto-approval
+```
+
+## Usage Patterns
+
+### Pattern 1: One-Shot Tasks
+
+```bash
+copilot-auto "Generate a REST API with Express"
+```
+
+### Pattern 2: Safe Refactoring
+
+```bash
+copilot-auto \
+  --deny-tool "shell(git push)" \
+  --max-iterations 50 \
+  "Refactor to use async/await"
+```
+
+### Pattern 3: Long-Running Tasks
+
+```bash
+copilot-auto \
+  --max-iterations 200 \
+  --max-duration 7200000 \
+  "Build a complete CRUD application with tests"
+```
+
+### Pattern 4: Custom Model
+
+```bash
+copilot-auto --model gpt-5 "Complex reasoning task"
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Issue: "copilot: command not found"
+
+**Solution:** Install GitHub Copilot CLI first:
+```bash
+npm install -g @github/copilot
+copilot  # Authenticate if needed
+```
+
+### Issue: "copilot-auto: command not found"
+
+**Solution:** Reinstall the wrapper:
+```bash
+cd copilot-cli
+npm install -g .
+# or
+npm link
+```
+
+### Issue: Wrapper stops too early
+
+**Solution:** Increase limits:
+```bash
+copilot-auto \
+  --max-iterations 200 \
+  --max-duration 3600000 \
+  "Your task"
+```
+
+### Issue: Unwanted operations being executed
+
+**Solution:** Use deny list:
+```bash
+copilot-auto \
+  --deny-tool "shell(rm *)" \
+  --deny-tool "shell(git push)" \
+  "Your task"
+```
+
+### Issue: Need access to files outside current directory
+
+**Solution:** Use `--allow-all-paths` (use with caution):
+```bash
+copilot-auto --allow-all-paths "Your task"
+```
+
+## Safety Best Practices
+
+1. **Start Small**: Begin with low iteration counts (10-20) and increase as needed
+2. **Use Deny Lists**: Always deny dangerous operations
+3. **Monitor First Run**: Watch the first execution to understand behavior
+4. **Version Control**: Always work in a git repo so you can revert changes
+5. **Review Logs**: Check `~/.copilot/logs/` for detailed activity
+6. **Container Isolation**: For maximum safety, run in Docker/containers
+7. **Backup Important Files**: Before running on production code
+
+## Recommended Denial List
+
+Add these to your config to prevent accidents:
+
+```json
+{
+  "deniedTools": [
+    "shell(rm -rf *)",
+    "shell(rm -rf /)",
+    "shell(git push --force)",
+    "shell(git push origin)",
+    "shell(npm publish)",
+    "shell(sudo *)",
+    "shell(dd *)",
+    "shell(mkfs *)",
+    "shell(format *)"
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+## Uninstallation
+
+```bash
+# If installed globally
+npm uninstall -g copilot-cli-auto
+
+# If linked
+cd copilot-cli
+npm unlink
+
+# Remove config
+rm ~/.copilot-auto-config.json
+```
+
+## Next Steps

+   ```bash
+   git init
+   git add .
+   git commit -m "before copilot"
+   ```
+
+2. **Start in empty folders** - Don't risk your real projects until you're comfortable
+
+3. **Be specific** - The more details you give, the better results:
+   ```bash
+   # ❌ Vague
+   copilot-auto "make an app"
+   
+   # ✅ Specific  
+   copilot-auto "Create a Node.js REST API with Express that has endpoints for creating, reading, updating and deleting users stored in a JSON file"
+   ```
+
+4. **Set limits** - Especially when learning:
+   ```bash
+   copilot-auto --max-iterations 20 "your task"
+   ```
+
+5. **Press Ctrl+C to stop** - If things go wrong, you can always interrupt
+
+## Common Issues & Solutions 🔧
+
+### "command not found: copilot-auto"
+```bash
+# Try installing globally again
+npm install -g .
+
+# Or run directly
+node index.js "your prompt"
+```
+
+### "Permission denied" during global install
+```bash
+# Windows: Run PowerShell as Administrator
+# Mac/Linux: Use sudo
+sudo npm install -g .
+```

+## 🤖 Auto-Approval Wrapper (New!)
+
+We've added a powerful wrapper that allows continuous auto-prompting without manual approvals. Perfect for autonomous tasks!
+
+### Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# Install the wrapper globally
+npm install -g .
+
+# Run with auto-approval
+copilot-auto "Create a REST API with tests"
+
+# With safety limits
+copilot-auto --max-iterations 100 --deny-tool "shell(git push)" "Refactor the codebase"
+```
+
+### Key Features
+- ✅ **Fully autonomous**: No approval prompts
+- ✅ **Safety limits**: Max iterations and duration controls
+- ✅ **Tool filtering**: Deny dangerous operations
+- ✅ **Configurable**: JSON config or CLI arguments
+- ✅ **Session management**: Continue and resume previous sessions (opt-in)
+
+### Session Continuation
+Resume your work across sessions with repo-scoped safety:
+
+```bash
+# Continue your most recent session
+copilot-auto --continue "Add more tests"
+
+# Resume a specific session
+copilot-auto --resume "Complete the feature"
+```
+
+See [AUTO-WRAPPER-README.md](./AUTO-WRAPPER-README.md) for complete documentation.
+
+### Local Tool Synthesis (Experimental, Opt-in)
+
+**⚠️ Disabled by default** - Requires explicit activation
+
+The wrapper supports local tool synthesis for creating custom tools on-demand without external dependencies:
+
+```bash
+# Enable local tool synthesis with MCP prevention
+copilot-auto --enable-local-tool-synthesis --no-mcp "Build custom tooling"
+
+# Or use environment variables
+export COPILOT_LOCAL_TOOL_SYNTHESIS=1
+export COPILOT_NO_MCP=1
+copilot-auto "Create specialized tools"
+```
+
+**Key Points:**
+- ❌ **Never uses MCP servers** when `--no-mcp` flag is set
+- 📦 **Creates tool scaffolds locally** in `tools/` directory
+- 🔒 **Opt-in only** - No behavior change unless explicitly enabled
+- 🛡️ **Safe by default** - Scaffolds fail with clear implementation instructions
+
+See [docs/local-tool-synthesis-policy.md](./docs/local-tool-synthesis-policy.md) for full documentation.

+
+This runs 3 progressive tests that validate:
+1. ✅ Basic file creation (single iteration)
+2. ✅ Multi-step operations (multiple files)
+3. ✅ Code generation (intelligent creation)
+
+**Expected Result:**
+```
+✅ Test 1: Basic File Creation (9.5s)
+✅ Test 2: Multi-Step File Creation (11.4s)
+✅ Test 3: Code Generation (10.6s)
+
+🎉 All tests passed! The auto-approval wrapper is working correctly.
+```
+
+---
+
+## Manual Test Exercise (Recommended for First Use)
+
+If you want hands-on validation, follow this progressive test sequence:
+
+### 1️⃣ Basic Test (30 seconds)
+
+Test basic auto-approval functionality:
+
+```bash
+copilot-auto --max-iterations 5 "Create hello.txt with the text 'It works!'"
+```
+
+**Verify:**
+```bash
+cat hello.txt  # Should show: It works!
+```
+
+**What this proves:**
+- ✅ Wrapper spawns copilot correctly
+- ✅ Auto-approval works (no prompts)
+- ✅ Files are created successfully
+- ✅ Process completes and exits
+
+---
+
+### 2️⃣ Multi-Step Test (1 minute)
+
+Test multiple autonomous actions:
+
+```bash
+copilot-auto --max-iterations 15 \
+  "Create a simple calculator.js file with add, subtract, multiply, and divide functions. Include JSDoc comments."
+```
+
+**Verify:**
+```bash
+cat calculator.js
+node -e "const calc = require('./calculator'); console.log(calc.add(5, 3));"
+```
+
+**What this proves:**
+- ✅ Handles complex multi-part tasks
+- ✅ Generates working code
+- ✅ Multiple iterations work correctly
+- ✅ Intelligent understanding of requirements
+
+---
+
+### 3️⃣ Safety Limit Test (30 seconds)
+
+Test that limits actually work:
+
+```bash
+copilot-auto --max-iterations 2 \
+  "Create 10 different text files with unique content in each"
+```
+
+**Expected:** Process stops after 2 iterations
+
+**What this proves:**
+- ✅ Iteration limits are enforced
+- ✅ Graceful shutdown works
+- ✅ Safety features functional
+
+---
+
+### 4️⃣ Real-World Test (2-3 minutes)
+
+Test a complete development workflow:
+
+```bash
+copilot-auto --max-iterations 20 \
+  "Create a simple Express REST API with:
+   1. server.js - basic Express server on port 3000
+   2. routes.js - GET /api/status endpoint
+   3. package.json - with express dependency
+   4. README.md - with setup instructions"
+```
+
+**Verify:**
+```bash
+ls server.js routes.js package.json README.md
+cat README.md
+```
+
+**What this proves:**
+- ✅ Complex multi-file projects work
+- ✅ Autonomous development capability
+- ✅ Understands project structure
+- ✅ Creates coherent documentation
+
+---
+
+## 🎯 Minimum Viable Test
+
+If you only have 30 seconds, run this:
+
+```bash
+copilot-auto --max-iterations 5 "Create test.txt with 'Success!' and list all txt files"
+```
+
+Then verify:
+```bash
+cat test.txt && ls *.txt
+```
+
+If this works without any approval prompts and creates the file correctly, **your auto-approval wrapper is working!** ✅
+
+---
+
+## 📊 Test Checklist
+
+Mark each as you complete:
+
+- [ ] Run `npm test` - All automated tests pass
+- [ ] Manual basic test - File created without prompts
+- [ ] Code generation test - Working code produced
+- [ ] Safety limit test - Process stops at limit
+- [ ] Real-world test - Multi-file project works
+- [ ] Interactive mode - Run `copilot-auto` and test a few prompts
+
+---
+
+## 🧹 Cleanup After Testing
+
+```bash
+# Remove all test files
+rm test*.* calculator.js server.js routes.js hello.txt
+
+# Or if you want to be thorough
+rm *.txt *.js *.json README.md  # Be careful in real projects!
+
+# Safe cleanup if in git repo
+git clean -fd --dry-run  # Shows what would be deleted
+git clean -fd            # Actually deletes untracked files
+```
+
+---
+
+## 💡 Advanced Test Ideas
+
+Once basics work, try these:
+
+### Test Iteration Continuity
+```bash
+copilot-auto --max-iterations 30 \
+  "Analyze all JS files, create a summary report, then refactor any code that needs improvement"
+```
+
+### Test Error Handling
+```bash
+copilot-auto --max-iterations 5 \
+  "Read nonexistent.txt and create a summary"
+```
+Should handle gracefully without crashing.
+
+### Test Interactive Mode
+```bash
+copilot-auto --max-iterations 50
+# Then give it multiple commands in sequence
+```
+
+---
+
+## ✅ Success Criteria
+
+Your wrapper is working correctly if:
+
+1. ✅ **No approval prompts appear** during execution
+2. ✅ **Files are created** as requested
+3. ✅ **Limits are enforced** (stops at max iterations)
+4. ✅ **Process exits cleanly** (no hanging)
+5. ✅ **Error handling works** (doesn't crash on errors)
+6. ✅ **Code generation works** (produces valid code)
+7. ✅ **Multi-step tasks work** (handles complex requests)
+
+---
+
+## 🚀 Quick Validation (Copy & Paste)
+
+```bash
+# Run all three tests in sequence
+echo "Test 1: Basic..."
+copilot-auto --max-iterations 5 "Create t1.txt with 'Test 1 OK'"
+cat t1.txt
+
+echo -e "\nTest 2: Multi-step..."
+copilot-auto --max-iterations 10 "Create t2a.txt, t2b.txt, t2c.txt with A, B, C"
+cat t2a.txt t2b.txt t2c.txt
+
+echo -e "\nTest 3: Code..."
+copilot-auto --max-iterations 10 "Create t3.js with a simple hello function"
+cat t3.js
+
+echo -e "\n✅ All manual tests complete!"
+rm t*.txt t*.js
+```
+
+---
+
+## 📈 Recommended Order
+
+**First Time User:**
+1. Run `npm test` (automated)
+2. Try the minimum viable test
+3. Try one real-world test
+
+**Before Production Use:**

+# Local Tool Synthesis Policy
+
+## Overview
+
+This document defines the local tool synthesis policy for the Copilot CLI Auto-Approval Wrapper. This feature enables dynamic tool creation and registration without relying on external services or MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers.
+
+## Non-negotiable: Never Use MCP Servers
+
+**This policy strictly prohibits the use of MCP servers or any remote tool brokers/registries.**
+
+When the MCP prevention flag is enabled (`--no-mcp` or `COPILOT_NO_MCP=1`), the system will:
+- NOT enumerate MCP servers
+- NOT connect to MCP endpoints
+- NOT invoke any MCP-based tools
+- Skip all MCP integration code paths
+
+This ensures complete isolation from external tool providers and maintains full local control.
+
+## Local Tool Synthesis by Default (Opt-in)
+
+When enabled via flags or environment variables, the wrapper will automatically scaffold new tools locally when they are requested but not available.
+
+**Important: This feature is DISABLED by default** and must be explicitly opted into via:
+- CLI flag: `--enable-local-tool-synthesis`
+- Environment variable: `COPILOT_LOCAL_TOOL_SYNTHESIS=1`
+
+### Why Opt-in?
+
+To maintain backward compatibility and avoid changing behavior for existing applications, this feature requires explicit activation. Users must consciously choose to enable local tool synthesis.
+
+## Tool Synthesis Protocol
+
+### Workflow
+
+When a tool is requested that doesn't exist in the local registry:
+
+1. **Detection**: The tool dispatcher detects the missing tool
+2. **Check Configuration**: Verify that local tool synthesis is enabled
+3. **Scaffold Creation**: Generate a tool skeleton with:
+   - Tool specification file (`tools/<toolname>/tool.md`)
+   - Stub implementation (`tools/<toolname>/src/index.js`)
+   - Registry entry update (`tools/manifest.json`)
+4. **Notification**: Inform the user that a scaffold was created
+5. **Return**: Return a placeholder result indicating implementation is needed
+
+### File Structure
+
+```
+tools/
+├── manifest.json           # Central registry of all local tools
+├── my-custom-tool/
+│   ├── tool.md            # Tool specification and documentation
+│   ├── src/
+│   │   └── index.js       # Tool implementation
+│   └── tests/             # Optional: tool tests
+│       └── test.js
+```
+
+### Manifest Schema
+
+The `tools/manifest.json` file maintains a registry of all local tools:
+
+```json
+{
+  "version": "1.0.0",
+  "tools": {
+    "my-custom-tool": {
+      "name": "my-custom-tool",
+      "description": "Description of what this tool does",
+      "command": "node",
+      "args": ["tools/my-custom-tool/src/index.js"],
+      "schema": {
+        "parameters": {
+          "type": "object",
+          "properties": {},
+          "required": []
+        }
+      },
+      "createdAt": "2026-02-02T17:00:00.000Z",
+      "status": "scaffold"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Tool Specification Template
+
+Each tool's `tool.md` file contains:
+
+```markdown
+# Tool: <toolname>
+
+## Status
+**Scaffold** - Implementation needed
+
+## Purpose
+[Auto-generated or user-specified description]
+
+## Parameters
+[Expected input parameters and their types]
+
+## Implementation Notes
+This is a scaffolded tool. To complete implementation:
+1. Edit `src/index.js` with actual functionality
+2. Add tests in `tests/` directory
+3. Update status in `tools/manifest.json` to "implemented"
+4. Test thoroughly before use
+
+## Usage Example
+[How to invoke this tool once implemented]
+```
+
+### Stub Implementation
+
+The generated `src/index.js` stub:
+
+```javascript
+#!/usr/bin/env node
+
+/**
+ * Auto-generated tool scaffold
+ * Tool: <toolname>
+ * Created: <timestamp>
+ * 
+ * TODO: Implement actual functionality
+ */
+
+console.error('Tool scaffold created locally. Implement me.');
+console.error('Edit: tools/<toolname>/src/index.js');
+process.exit(1);
+```
+
+## Safety and Idempotency
+
+- **No Overwrites**: Existing tools are never overwritten during scaffold generation
+- **Safe Naming**: Tool names are converted to kebab-case for safe filesystem usage
+- **Validation**: Tool names must match pattern: `^[a-z][a-z0-9-]*$`
+- **Atomic Operations**: Registry updates are atomic to prevent corruption
+
+## Configuration Options
+
+### CLI Flags
+
+- `--enable-local-tool-synthesis` (boolean, default: `false`)
+  - Enables automatic tool scaffold generation
+  
+- `--no-mcp` (boolean, default: `false`)
+  - Prevents all MCP server usage
+  - Recommended when using local tool synthesis for complete isolation
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+- `COPILOT_LOCAL_TOOL_SYNTHESIS=1|true|yes|on`
+  - Enables local tool synthesis (same as CLI flag)
+  
+- `COPILOT_NO_MCP=1|true|yes|on`
+  - Disables MCP (same as CLI flag)
+
+### Precedence
+
+1. Command-line flags (highest priority)
+2. Environment variables
+3. Configuration file settings
+4. Default values (lowest priority)
+
+## Integration with Existing Tools
+
+The local tool synthesis system integrates with the existing wrapper architecture:
+
+1. **Tool Resolution**: Before invoking a tool, check local registry first
+2. **Fallback Logic**: If tool not found and synthesis disabled, follow normal error path
+3. **No Breaking Changes**: Existing tool invocation patterns remain unchanged
+4. **Transparent Operation**: Users without flags enabled see no difference
+
+## Development Workflow
+
+### For Users
+
+1. Enable local tool synthesis: `copilot-auto --enable-local-tool-synthesis --no-mcp`
+2. Request functionality that requires a new tool
+3. System creates scaffold automatically
+4. Implement the tool in `tools/<toolname>/src/index.js`
+5. Test the implementation
+6. Tool is now available for use
+
+### For Developers
+
+1. Add tests for scaffold generation in test suite
+2. Ensure manifest updates are atomic
+3. Validate tool name safety
+4. Test with and without synthesis enabled
+5. Verify no MCP connections when flag is set
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+- **Local Only**: No network calls for tool discovery or execution
+- **Explicit Activation**: Users must opt in explicitly
+- **No Auto-Execution**: Scaffolded tools fail safely with clear messages
+- **File System Safety**: All file operations use safe path handling
+- **Validation**: Tool names and paths are validated before creation
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+Potential future additions (not in initial implementation):
+- Tool versioning and updates
+- Shared tool libraries
+- Template customization
+- Auto-implementation hints based on description
+- Testing framework integration
+- Tool documentation generation
+
+## Compatibility
+
+- **Minimum Node.js**: 22.0.0
+- **Operating Systems**: Linux, macOS, Windows
+- **Backward Compatible**: Default behavior unchanged
+- **Forward Compatible**: Registry format designed for extension
+
+## Examples
+
+### Enable both flags together (recommended)
+```bash
+copilot-auto --enable-local-tool-synthesis --no-mcp "Create a tool to parse JSON"
+```
+
+### Using environment variables
+```bash
+export COPILOT_LOCAL_TOOL_SYNTHESIS=1
+export COPILOT_NO_MCP=1
+copilot-auto "Process this data"
+```
+
+### Default behavior (no change)
+```bash
+copilot-auto "Normal usage without synthesis"
+# No scaffolding occurs, normal error handling applies
+```
+
+## Support and Feedback
+
+This is an experimental feature. Please report issues and provide feedback to help us improve the local tool synthesis experience.

+
+1. SIMPLE AUTO-EXECUTION
+   Run a task with auto-approval:
+   
+   $ copilot-auto "Create a Node.js Express server with CRUD endpoints"
+
+2. SAFE REFACTORING
+   With limits and denied operations:
+   
+   $ copilot-auto \\
+       --max-iterations 50 \\
+       --deny-tool "shell(git push)" \\
+       --deny-tool "shell(npm publish)" \\
+       "Refactor this codebase to TypeScript"
+
+3. INTERACTIVE MODE
+   Start an interactive session with auto-approval:
+   
+   $ copilot-auto --max-iterations 200
+
+4. CUSTOM CONFIG
+   Create ~/.copilot-auto-config.json:
+   
+   {
+     "maxIterations": 100,
+     "maxDuration": 3600000,
+     "allowAllTools": true,
+     "allowAllPaths": false,
+     "deniedTools": [
+       "shell(rm -rf *)",
+       "shell(git push --force)",
+       "shell(npm publish)"
+     ],
+     "model": "claude-sonnet-4.5"
+   }
+   
+   Then simply run: $ copilot-auto
+
+5. DEBUGGING SESSION
+   With increased limits for complex tasks:
+   
+   $ copilot-auto \\
+       --max-iterations 150 \\
+       --max-duration 7200000 \\
+       "Find and fix all bugs in the application, add tests"
+
+6. BATCH PROCESSING
+   Process multiple files:
+   
+   $ copilot-auto "Add proper error handling to all JavaScript files"
+
+7. DOCUMENTATION GENERATION
+   Safe operation (no dangerous commands needed):
+   
+   $ copilot-auto "Generate comprehensive README and API docs"
+
+8. CODE REVIEW ASSISTANT
+   Analyze and improve code:
+   
+   $ copilot-auto "Review all code, suggest improvements, and refactor"
+
+═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
+
+💡 TIP: Always use --deny-tool for dangerous operations like:
+   - shell(rm *)
+   - shell(git push)
+   - shell(npm publish)
+   - shell(sudo *)
+
+🛡️  SAFETY FIRST: Start with lower iteration counts and increase as needed.

+
+✅ INSTALLATION COMPLETE!
+
+Your wrapper is installed and ready to use.
+
+━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
+
+🎯 QUICK START - Try these commands:
+
+  1. Simple task:
+     $ copilot-auto "Create a package.json for a new Node project"
+
+  2. With safety limits:
+     $ copilot-auto --max-iterations 20 "Add error handling to all JS files"
+
+  3. Interactive mode:
+     $ copilot-auto
+
+  4. View examples:
+     $ npm run examples
+
+━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
+
+📚 DOCUMENTATION:
+
+  • Quick reference:  copilot-auto --help
+  • Full docs:        AUTO-WRAPPER-README.md
+  • Installation:     INSTALLATION.md
+  • Summary:          SUMMARY.md
+
+━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
+
+⚙️  CONFIGURATION (Optional):
+
+  Create ~/.copilot-auto-config.json to customize:
+  
+  {
+    "maxIterations": 100,
+    "maxDuration": 3600000,
+    "deniedTools": [
+      "shell(git push)",
+      "shell(npm publish)"
+    ],
+    "model": "claude-sonnet-4.5"
+  }
+
+  See .copilot-auto-config.example.json for reference
+
+━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
+
+🛡️  SAFETY TIPS:
+
+  ✓ Start with --max-iterations 10-20 for first use
+  ✓ Always work in a git repository
+  ✓ Use --deny-tool for dangerous operations
+  ✓ Review changes after completion
+  ✓ Check logs at ~/.copilot/logs/
+
+━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
+
+🎉 Ready to go! Start with a simple task to get familiar:
+
+   $ copilot-auto "explain what files are in this directory"
+
+━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
