Copilot 에이전트 are custom tools embedded in Copilot 확장. They integrate with Copilot 채팅 to provide additional functionalities tailored to specific needs. Copilot 에이전트 can perform various tasks such as querying documentation, retrieving data, executing specific actions, or providing AI-assisted coding suggestions. They enhance the capabilities of GitHub Copilot by allowing developers to build and integrate custom features directly into the Copilot 채팅 interface.
To use a Copilot 에이전트 in Copilot 채팅, it must be associated with a GitHub App. This combination of a GitHub App and a Copilot 에이전트 is what we refer to as a GitHub Copilot 확장. For more information on Copilot 확장, see About building Copilot Extensions.
Any GitHub user can create a Copilot 확장 by building a Copilot 에이전트 and associating it with a GitHub App. For more information on creating a Copilot 확장, see Setting up Copilot Extensions.
