Open the Gists tree view, and open a file in one of your gists (or create one if necessary)
Open up Copilot chat in agent mode and make sure the gist file is selected as context

Note that the agent can read the file just fine. And if I use the GistPad MCP server, I can make edits to any gists through it's tools.
