"pilot change <target> to <phrase>"	tells Copilot to apply the instructions in <phrase> to the target.	"pilot change funk air to remove arguments".
"pilot test <target>"	Asks copilot to generate a test for the target.	"pilot test funk air"
"pilot doc <target>"	Asks copilot to generate documentation for the target.	"pilot doc funk air"
"pilot fix <target>"	Tells copilot to fix the target.	"pilot fix funk air"
"pilot fix <target> to <phrase>"	Tells copilot to fix the target using the instructions in <phrase>.	"pilot fix funk air to remove warnings"

"pilot bring <ordinal>"	inserts nth code block in most recent chat response into your editor at cursor position	"pilot bring first", "pilot bring last", "pilot bring second last"
"pilot copy <ordinal>"	copies nth code block in most recent chat response	"pilot copy first"
"pilot bring <ordinal> <destination>"	inserts nth code block in most recent chat response into your editor at Cursorless destination	"pilot bring first after state air", "pilot bring first to line air"
