Accelerating development and managing agents with the GitHub Copilot app

A great Copilot session can unblock one developer, but team scale value begins when the repository itself makes architecture, conventions, development commands, tests, and validation easy to discover and when successful workflows stop disappearing into chat history. In this technical session, we will take a repository from a generic Copilot experience to an AI-ready development environment. We will encode the project knowledge and validation developers need, then package recurring workflows as reusable prompts, skills, plugins, and custom agents. Next, we will version and govern those resources, and publish them through a centralized internal marketplace. We will close by connecting these developer practices to GitHub Copilot enterprise managed settings and how you can configure these at scale. You will leave with a practical guidance for making Agentic workflows useful beyond a single developer while providing engineering velocity and keeping people responsible for what ships.
