Set `engine: copilot` or omit `engine:` because Copilot is the default. For organization-billed usage, grant [`copilot-requests: write`](/gh-aw/reference/auth/#copilot-requests-write-permission); otherwise provide a [`COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN`](/gh-aw/reference/auth/#copilot_github_token) secret containing a fine-grained PAT with Copilot Requests access.

- Otherwise, provide a [`COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN`](/gh-aw/reference/auth/#copilot_github_token) secret containing a fine-grained PAT with Copilot Requests access.
