How to Use GitHub Copilot Agent Mode

Updated on:

Use this interactive demo to learn how to use GitHub Copilot's Agent Mode.

‍

‍

To use GitHub Copilot Agent mode, follow these simple steps: 

‍

  1. Open the Copilot Chat window within your IDE. You can typically find an icon for it or use a command palette command.
  2. In the chat input area, select 'Agent' to enable the agent mode.
  3. In the chat input field, type a natural language description of the task you want to accomplish.
  4. The Copilot agent will analyze your request, formulate a plan and proposed a series of actions. Select 'Keep' or 'Undo' for individual edits or all edits as a whole.

📌 Why this matters

GitHub Copilot Agent mode transforms how you approach complex coding tasks by letting you delegate entire workflows rather than just getting line-by-line suggestions. You can describe multi-step objectives like "refactor this component to use hooks" or "add error handling throughout this module," and the agent breaks it down into a coordinated series of edits across multiple files.

This shift from tactical autocomplete to strategic collaboration means you spend less time translating your ideas into granular implementation details and more time reviewing and refining the overall solution.
