[GitHub Copilot coding agent][coding-agent-overview] can perform tasks in the background, much in the same way a human developer would. And, just like with working with a human developer, this is done by[assigning a GitHub issue to Copilot][assign-issue]. Once assigned, Copilot will create a draft pull request to track its progress, setup an environment, and begin working on the task. You can dig into Copilot's session while it's still in flight or after its completed. Once its ready for you to review the proposed solution, it'll tag you in the pull request!

[GitHub Copilot coding agent][coding-agent-overview] can perform tasks in the background, much in the same way a human developer would. And, just like with working with a human developer, this can be done in multiple ways, including[assigning a GitHub issue to Copilot][assign-issue].

[Custom agents][custom-agents] in GitHub Copilot allow you to create specialized AI assistants tailored to specific tasks or domains within your development workflow. By defining agents through markdown files in the `.github/agents` folder of your repository, you can provide Copilot with focused instructions, best practices, coding patterns, and domain-specific knowledge that guide it to perform particular types of work more effectively. This allows teams to codify their expertise and standards into reusable agents—such as an accessibility agent that ensures [WCAG][wcag] compliance, a security agent that follows secure coding practices, or a testing agent that maintains consistent test patterns—enabling developers to leverage these specialized capabilities on-demand for faster, more consistent implementations.

## Scenario

After assigning the agent to create a high-accessible mode, the team realized it would be a good time to add a light mode as well. Since work was already being done to update the style of the site and add toggle functionality, it seemed logical to include this functionality. You want to update the agent's work to ensure it introduces this update.
