Where the workflow shifted
GitHub Copilot coding agent connects issues, branches, commits, and review, so coding-agent product pages need clear acceptance criteria.
State which issues the agent can handle, how it creates branches, how tests run, who reviews the change, and how failure rolls back.
Tool names are not outcomes
The signal matters when it changes how a team ships, reviews, or recovers work, not when it only names another tool.
Check permissions and failure
- Add coding-agent signals to the Agent Workflow acceptance checklist
- Keep the test narrow: one low-risk task or tool entry before connecting permissions, logs, failure handling, and human takeover to production
What still needs proof
Without acceptance criteria, a coding agent becomes extra review load instead of a productivity system. Keep the original source open so the announcement, the evidence, and this site's interpretation stay separate.
