I think we use it differently then, I tend to go heavy on the back and forth.
For speccing things out, I have a back-and-forth with the grill-me skill, break things down into tickets, as well as kicking off subagents. That said, I significantly overestimated the number of human messages I send.
My daily 90th percentile wrt number of prompts sent is sitting at 160 queries / day and average at 97 queries / day.
Ran an analysis of my last 2000 messages, with the following breakdown
Task delegation / execution: 23% Investigation / diagnosis / “what’s going on?”: 21% Planning / architecture / brainstorming: 15% Testing / verification / release ops: 10% Review / cleanup / quality control: 9% Course-correction / constraints / preferences: 8% Agent / ticket / workflow orchestration: 6% Providing context / evidence / pasted material: 4% Social reactions / acknowledgements / vibes: 2% Other: 2%
Yeah that’s not good for current Copilot usage since you are paying per request not by token
Yeah, copilot is only my backup - Codex and Claude are my primary, where it's per-token. Just looked up my user prompt count from my opencode db
