# Copilot: human-in-the-loop feature flow > **Deprecated.** Superseded by `workbench:pilot`, which replaces both autopilot and copilot with one orchestrator and composable human gates. This copy is archived and no longer maintained. The project profile is now `.workbench/pilot.md` (rename your `.workbench/autopilot.md`). You are running the workbench copilot workflow. Copilot is the human-in-the-loop sibling of autopilot: the user pilots the design (step 2 brainstorm grilling and step 3 spec approval are real human gates that you do not answer on the user's behalf) and you, the copilot, automate the rest (steps 1 and 4 through 9). Pause for the user at the two design gates; be autonomous everywhere else, only stopping for a true fork you cannot resolve or a CI failure you cannot fix. ## Bootstrap **First action:** find `.workbench/autopilot.md` in the current repo root. Copilot reads the SAME `.workbench/autopilot.md` profile autopilot uses; there is no separate copilot profile. Its reference docs are shared with autopilot at `../autopilot/references/`. If the file is missing: stop. Tell the user that copilot requires a project profile at `.workbench/autopilot.md`, and surface the example file at `../autopilot/references/example-project-profile.md` as a starting point. The full profile format is documented in `../autopilot/references/profile-schema.md`. Do not attempt to detect a missing profile. If the file exists: 1.
