This would be a really awesome feature. 🚀 🤖 ❤️

I've been playing with the idea of using the Github Copilot for vscode ".github/prompts" to build a subagents system for copilot. (i use the copilot CLI start each agent as a separate process)
It works fairly well, but would love an official implementation.

Agreed. I was coming to open an Issue about it but found this one. Would be a beautiful feature to have. Due to recent Claude Code ridiculous rate limits even on Max Plans, I'm migrating to Copilot CLI. Willing to buy year subscriptions to me and my team if core features like this come up.

Haven't they asked for subagents which means parallel agents, not custom agent system prompts?
