Using Copilot CLI to generate emoji lists

GitHub shows a small demo of using Copilot CLI to build an emoji list generator live on a Rubber Duck Thursday stream, which is a neat little look at how they’re framing the tool.

Here’s the image from the GitHub Copilot CLI emoji list generator post.

Cute demo, but it’s very “conference magic trick” vibes — the hard bit is what happens when the output needs to be predictable and maintained by someone who didn’t watch the stream. I’m more interested in whether Copilot CLI can be nudged into generating decent help text and error messages, because that’s where these little utilities usually fall apart.

Lol same
