Azure Boards now supports custom GitHub Copilot agents when creating pull requests from work items. Custom agents are tailored versions of Copilot that follow specific workflows, coding conventions, and tool preferences defined in Markdown-based agent profiles. Teams can create these agents at the repository or organization level using .agent.md files in a .github/agents folder. Once configured, custom agents automatically appear in Azure DevOps alongside the repository selection when creating pull requests, allowing teams to standardize their development workflows.
