Understanding this prioritization helps you optimize which files to keep open and when to use explicit references.

### Attaching Document Files
|
||||
|
||||
In GitHub Copilot CLI, you can attach supported document files directly to a prompt for the agent to read and reason about. This is useful for feeding in external context that isn't already in your codebase — for example, API specs, architecture documents, PDFs, or requirements files.
|
||||
|
||||
Supported file types include common document formats (PDF, DOCX, etc.) as well as text-based files. When you attach a file, its contents are included in the agent's context for that turn, allowing it to reason about the document alongside your code.
|
||||
|
||||
This capability is especially valuable when you want to implement a feature from a spec, review code against a design document, or ask questions about an external reference without manually copying and pasting content.
