LOCUSTLocust with
GitHub Copilot, as one of your team
Locust runs GitHub Copilot as a teammate on your own computer, with Copilot CLI’s own sign-in, on your GitHub Copilot subscription, beside teammates on other agents. Free and MIT, with no Locust account.
How Locust runs it
copilot --acp
Locust runs Copilot CLI over the Agent Client Protocol, so each command and file change comes to Locust as a request. It never reads the agent's screen. If it is not installed yet, Locust's first launch shows how to get it.
Before it acts
Asks you first
In Approve each action: every command and file change, and each fetch or place outside the folder, before it runs.
Without asking
Reading files, in every mode. In Ask and Plan, no file changes, no commands and none of the MCP servers in your Copilot settings. In Edit, commands and changes in the folder. In Auto, everything.
Five modes, from Ask, which changes nothing, to Auto. Every agent, side by side: What Locust can stop.
What Locust adds to GitHub Copilot
- Locust's browser beside the conversation: your teammate opens pages, clicks, types and reads the console and the network, and asks you on a card before a login, a payment, a send or a download.
- Every teammate on its own agent and model, side by side, with one Board for what needs you, what is working and what is done.
- Blind compare: the same task on several agents, names hidden until you keep one.
- Hand-offs by name between teammates on different agents, and a checker you pick, on another AI if you like, who must approve before a run counts.
- A local record of every run, kept if the window closes, and Undo for a teammate’s turn.
- Your phone from anywhere, sealed end to end, and Discord, Slack or Telegram if you turn them on.
