GitHub Agent HQ

GitHub Agent HQ is a tool that lets developers run coding agents from different companies directly within GitHub and their code editor. This helps developers stay focused by keeping all their work, history, and reviews connected. People who use Copilot Pro+ and Copilot Enterprise can now use coding agents like Codex and Claude along with Copilot in Agent HQ. This means developers can go from having an idea to building it using different agents for different tasks without having to switch between tools or lose track of what they are doing.

Benefits

Agent HQ makes software development smoother by reducing the need to switch between different applications. It keeps all the context, history, and review information tied to the work being done. Claude can help by committing code and leaving comments on pull requests, which helps teams make changes more quickly and with more confidence. Developers can also compare how different agents solve the same problem. By assigning multiple agents to a task, teams can see how they think and what solutions they come up with. This can help find problems earlier by using different kinds of reviews, like checking if the design follows rules, testing for tricky situations, and suggesting practical ways to build things.

Use Cases

Agent HQ brings the power of coding agents like Codex directly into GitHub and VS Code, where developers spend most of their time. Running these agents right where the code is and where teams work together makes them more helpful for everyone. Changes made by agents show up as draft pull requests and comments. These can be reviewed just like work from a teammate, so there's no need for extra dashboards or separate AI tools. These tools are built for teams, giving everyone in the organization a clear view and control over how AI interacts with the code. This includes features like agent controls, checks for code quality, automatic first reviews, ways to measure impact, and controls for security and auditing. This allows teams to use AI agents without worrying about the quality of their code, who is responsible, or losing trust.

Additional Information

More Copilot subscription types will get access to Claude and Codex. GitHub plans to add more specialized agents from partners like Google, Cognition, and xAI to GitHub, VS Code, and Copilot CLI workflows in the future.
