GitHub Adds Custom Agents to Copilot CLI, Turning One-Off Prompts Into Reusable Workflows

GitHub Blog·medium signal

GitHub detailed new custom agents for Copilot CLI that let the assistant understand a team's stack and workflows, converting ad-hoc terminal prompts into repeatable, reviewable processes. The feature targets the gap between throwaway prompting and durable, shareable automation in the developer terminal. For builders, it's another step toward codifying agentic dev workflows as versioned, team-level artifacts.
