🤖 Custom Agents

Custom agents for GitHub Copilot, making it easy for users and organizations to "specialize" their Copilot coding agent (CCA) through simple file-based configuration.

How to Use Custom Agents

To Install:

• Click the VS Code or VS Code Insiders install button for the agent you want to use
• Download the *.agent.md file and add it to your repository

MCP Server Setup:

• Each agent may require one or more MCP servers to function
• Click the MCP server to view it on the GitHub MCP registry
• Follow the guide on how to add the MCP server to your repository

To Activate/Use:

• Access installed agents through the VS Code Chat interface, assign them in CCA, or through Copilot CLI (coming soon)
• Agents will have access to tools from configured MCP servers
• Follow agent-specific instructions for optimal usage

Title	Description	MCP Servers
Amplitude Experiment Implementation	This custom agent uses Amplitude's MCP tools to deploy new experiments inside of Amplitude, enabling seamless variant testing capabilities and rollout of product features.
Arm Migration Agent	Arm Cloud Migration Assistant accelerates moving x86 workloads to Arm infrastructure. It scans the repository for architecture assumptions, portability issues, container base image and dependency incompatibilities, and recommends Arm-optimized changes. It can drive multi-arch container builds, validate performance, and guide optimization, enabling smooth cross-platform deployment directly inside GitHub.	custom-mcp
C# Expert	An agent designed to assist with software development tasks for .NET projects.
Dynatrace Expert	The Dynatrace Expert Agent integrates observability and security capabilities directly into GitHub workflows, enabling development teams to investigate incidents, validate deployments, triage errors, detect performance regressions, validate releases, and manage security vulnerabilities by autonomously analysing traces, logs, and Dynatrace findings. This enables targeted and precise remediation of identified issues directly within the repository.	dynatrace
JFrog Security Agent	The dedicated Application Security agent for automated security remediation. Verifies package and version compliance, and suggests vulnerability fixes using JFrog security intelligence.
Launchdarkly Flag Cleanup	A specialized GitHub Copilot agent that uses the LaunchDarkly MCP server to safely automate feature flag cleanup workflows. This agent determines removal readiness, identifies the correct forward value, and creates PRs that preserve production behavior while removing obsolete flags and updating stale defaults.	launchdarkly
Neon Migration Specialist	Safe Postgres migrations with zero-downtime using Neon's branching workflow. Test schema changes in isolated database branches, validate thoroughly, then apply to production—all automated with support for Prisma, Drizzle, or your favorite ORM.
Neon Performance Analyzer	Identify and fix slow Postgres queries automatically using Neon's branching workflow. Analyzes execution plans, tests optimizations in isolated database branches, and provides clear before/after performance metrics with actionable code fixes.
Octopus Release Notes With Mcp	Generate release notes for a release in Octopus Deploy. The tools for this MCP server provide access to the Octopus Deploy APIs.	octopus
PagerDuty Incident Responder	Responds to PagerDuty incidents by analyzing incident context, identifying recent code changes, and suggesting fixes via GitHub PRs.	pagerduty
Stackhawk Security Onboarding	Automatically set up StackHawk security testing for your repository with generated configuration and GitHub Actions workflow	stackhawk-mcp
Terraform Agent	With Terraform custom agent, each developer can easily adhere to Terraform configurations, use approved modules, apply the correct tags, and ensure they're following the Terraform best practices by default. This leads to significant time saving, eliminating security gaps, and inconsistencies. And saves time that would be wasted on repetitive boilerplate code.
WinForms Expert	Support development of .NET (OOP) WinForms Designer compatible Apps.
