[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.
