🔧 1. Agent HQ: Mission Control for AI Development

GitHub unveiled Agent HQ, a centralized platform to manage AI agents across GitHub, VS Code, CLI, and mobile. It supports both GitHub Copilot and third-party agents (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc.), enabling:

Branch-level control and identity management
One-click merge conflict resolution
Agent governance and policy enforcement

Why it matters: Teams can now orchestrate AI-powered workflows with precision, improving collaboration and code quality.

🤖 2. Copilot Workflow Integrations & Agentic Code Reviews

Copilot is now deeply integrated with tools like Slack, Microsoft Teams, Linear, and Azure Boards. New features include:

Task assignment from external tools
Agentic code reviews using Copilot + CodeQL
Automated security fixes during pull requests

Why it matters: This streamlines developer workflows and enhances security posture during code reviews.

🧠 3. VS Code Plan Mode & Custom Agent Behavior

GitHub introduced Plan Mode in VS Code, allowing developers to:

Build structured implementation plans
Receive clarifying questions from agents before coding

Teams can also define agent behavior using a new AGENTS.md file, enforcing standards and versioning.

Why it matters: This boosts productivity and ensures consistent coding practices across teams.

📊 4. GitHub Code Quality & Enterprise Dashboards

The new GitHub Code Quality feature (public preview) provides visibility into:

Code maintainability and reliability
Test coverage across repositories

Enterprise dashboards now include metrics on Copilot usage, agent activity, and governance policies.

Why it matters: Leaders gain actionable insights to drive quality and performance across engineering teams.

🌐 5. MCP Registry Integration in VS Code

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) Registry is now accessible in VS Code, enabling agents to interact with external systems like Stripe, Figma, and Sentry.

Why it matters: Developers can extend agent capabilities beyond code, integrating with broader business systems.
