Copilot Coding Agent
Rubber Duck Thursdays - Copilot coding agent and Copilot agent mode
Join us for Rubber Duck Thursdays! A lighthearted and informal stream where we live code on some projects. In this stream, we'll assign some work to Copilot coding agent and also work with Copilot agent mode.
Extend GitHub Copilot coding agent with custom MCP tools
You can now create issues from Copilot Chat in http://github.com/ and you can assign them to Copilot, so the coding agent can work on them in the background! But did you know that you can give Copilot coding agent access to additional tools through the Model Context Protocol? Learn more in this video, as Copilot uses the Notion MCP server to gather product requirement documents, and provide a PR for review. Learn more at http://gh.io/copilot/coding-agent
Assign issues to GitHub Copilot from the GitHub mobile app
You can now assign issues to GitHub Copilot in the background, freeing you up for other tasks! But this isn't just a 'big screen' activity from a laptop or your desktop. You can assign Copilot to issues from your mobile device too! See how we assign an issue to Copilot in the GitHub Mobile app, and explore its progress when viewing http://github.com/ from our mobile.

Assigning Copilot ad-hoc tasks through Copilot chat
You can now assign issues to GitHub Copilot in the background, not just from GitHub issues - but even ad hoc tasks while you're working in Visual Studio Code. See how Copilot takes on a task to refactor components in Copilot Airways, allowing us to progress with other work. More on the Copilot coding agent: http://gh.io/copilot/coding-agent
How to get the most out of the Copilot coding agent
Assign issues to GitHub Copilot in the background, freeing you up for other tasks! But what can you do to set Copilot up for success? Here are a few important tips and tricks, including well-scoped issues, Copilot custom instructions, setting up a development environment with Copilot setup steps and providing access to additional tools via the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

The GitHub Copilot coding agent *NEW*
Assign issues to GitHub Copilot in the background, freeing you up for other tasks! This is how you can assign Copilot to a GitHub Issue for the app 'Copilot Airways'. Copilot acknowledges the work, and starts working on a pull request to make the changes. Learn more about the Copilot coding agent at http://gh.io/copilot/coding-agent
