Chris reviews the latest GitHub changelog including CodeQL updates, GPT-5.1 Codex Max preview, GitHub MCP server tool-specific configuration, and Enterprise Server 3.19 GA. He then explores the major VS Code December release featuring Agent HQ, background agents with git worktrees, sub-agents, and custom agents for organizations, while continuing to build custom agents for a game MCP server project.

Chris dives into Copilot custom agents and custom instructions for the turn-based game MCP server project. After reviewing the changelog including enterprise bring-your-own-key support and Claude Opus 4.5, he restructures copilot-instructions.md, creates meta instruction files for writing instructions and agents, and explores plan mode for iterating on agent designs.

Chris catches up on several weeks of GitHub releases, including new models including GPT-5.1, GPT-5.1 Codex, and GPT-5.1 Codex Mini, MCP registry controls, and isolated sub-agents. He then returns to the turn-based game MCP server project, using Copilot's agent mode to diagnose and fix a dependency upgrade failure.

In this live stream, we explore building a 3D tic-tac-toe visualization using Three.js and Copilot coding agent, demo MCP elicitation for gathering game preferences, and discuss the importance of context engineering when working with AI tools. We also cover GitHub changelog highlights including path-scoped custom instructions for Copilot code review and agents.md support.

In this live stream, we recap the MCP server elicitation feature and then dive into GitHub Actions fundamentals — building workflows from scratch, covering triggers, jobs, dependencies with needs, matrix builds for cross-platform testing, and workflow_dispatch for manual runs. We also walk through a packed GitHub changelog covering ARM64 runners, GPT-5 in GitHub Models, immutable releases, and GitHub MCP server secret scanning.

In this live stream, we continue building a turn-based game MCP server, implementing MCP elicitation to gather user preferences and consolidating duplicate tool calls into cleaner abstractions. We also recap the latest GitHub changelog including npm trusted publishing with OIDC, Claude Opus 4.1, and Copilot coding agent updates.

In this episode, we recap the latest GitHub changelog including GitHub Spark entering public preview and coding agent support for instructions.md files. We introduce the 'Build for the love of code' hackathon, prototype a rubber duck debugging app with GitHub Spark, and build an MCP server from scratch using TypeScript while exploring tools, prompts, and resources.

In this episode, we review the latest GitHub changelog including remote MCP server support for coding agent and Copilot code review on mobile. We use the Playwright MCP server with Copilot agent mode to debug and fix UI issues in the Octo Arcade project, discuss the differences between ask, edit, and agent modes in VS Code, and explore MCP server concepts like tools, prompts, and resources.

In this stream, Chris catches up on several weeks of GitHub updates including the remote MCP server preview and Copilot coding agent for business users. The live coding session demonstrates adding internationalization to the Copilot Airways app using Copilot coding agent, custom VS Code chat modes for planning, and agent mode in Xcode for iOS development.

In this episode, we recap the latest GitHub changelog updates including Copilot coding agent availability for pro users and the new Playwright MCP browser capability. We update Copilot custom instructions and setup steps for a GitHub Action project, use the Playwright MCP server to build interactive UI features on a trend radar app, and leverage Copilot coding agent to identify and fix technical debt.
