About agents

AI agents are autonomous systems that can evaluate their environment, make decisions, and take actions to complete tasks. Agents can break down complex tasks into steps, use various tools and resources, plan their approach, and adapt based on human feedback until they accomplish their assigned objective.

Agent de codage Copilot brings automation and assistance to every stage of the software development process on GitHub. You can run multiple sessions of Agent de codage Copilot concurrently, allowing you to efficiently delegate work items. Utilizing custom agents you can build out a team of task-specific agents with customized system prompts to handle simpler tasks like writing tests and refactoring, giving you bandwidth to prioritize problem-solving and collaboration. See About custom agents.

Managing agents

When utilizing GitHub's agentic features, you can use the Agents tab as a centralized control page where you can initiate, monitor, and manage agent tasks across GitHub.

Remarque

The Agents tab is in public preview and subject to change.

From the Agents tab, you can:

  • Kick off new agent tasks: Select any repository you have write access to, and optionally choose from custom agents best suited for the task. See Demander à GitHub Copilot de créer une demande de tirage.
  • Review the live session log, diff, and overview of changes: Once Copilot starts working, you can open the agent session to monitor agent activity.
  • Steer agents mid-session: If you realize you didn't scope a request correctly, or want Copilot to use a specific tool or service, you can step in and provide steering input without stopping the run. Steering uses one premium request per message. See Suivre des sessions de GitHub Copilot.
  • Open a session in VS Code: When you want to start working on changes to an agent session in your local development environment, click the "Open in VS Code Insiders" button to open the session in VS Code.

    Remarque

    Opening a session in VS Code Insiders requires the latest versions of VS Code Insiders, the GitHub Copilot extension, and the GitHub Pull Requests extension.

  • Review and merge agent code: Once Copilot completes a session, you can read a summary of the changes it made and scan the diff of the pull request to see if you want to request further improvements. If the changes look ready for a final review, you can jump right into the pull request from the agent session view to approve and merge.
