作者Jacklyn Carroll排版Alan Wang自定义智能体能够让 GitHub Copilot CLI 理解你的技术栈和团队工作流程将一次性的终端提示升级为可复用、可审查的标准化流程。开发者每天都会在 CLI、IDE 和 GitHub 等多个环境之间切换。其中终端通常是完成快速开发、任务自动化以及直接操作系统和脚本的核心工作场景。GitHub Copilot CLI 等工具已经让这些工作变得更加高效。无需离开终端你就可以生成命令、调试问题并以更快的速度完成开发任务。然而就像任何开发环境一样CLI 中依然存在不少重复性的摩擦反复执行相同的命令、一次又一次地解释上下文或者将日志整理成团队能够快速理解并采取行动的信息。这些看似细小的操作在每个团队都拥有不同技术栈和开发规范的情况下会不断累积影响整体效率。那么如果终端不仅能够执行命令还能够理解你的技术栈、工具链以及团队规范会怎样这正是自定义智能体发挥作用的地方。你无需每次都从零开始而是可以将团队的上下文沉淀为可复用的工作流将一次性的提示升级为标准化、可重复执行的开发流程。借助 CLI 中的自定义智能体你可以将反复执行的任务和开发模式封装为一致、可审查的工作流并与现有工具自然协同为 GitHub Copilot CLI 注入针对特定开发任务的专业能力让它更加贴合团队的实际开发方式。什么是自定义智能体自定义智能体是一种可以通过 Markdown 文件定义的 GitHub Copilot 智能体。与依赖通用行为的默认智能体不同你可以明确描述智能体的工作方式、可调用的工具、需要遵循的规范以及输出要求从而让它在任何运行环境中都保持一致的行为。你创建的每个编码智能体都可以针对特定任务进行定制成为一个专属的专业智能体。例如一个通用编码智能体可能会建议如何优化代码而自定义智能体则能够在每次执行时自动遵循你的代码格式规范、开发工具链、无障碍标准、代码审查要求以及安全规范提供更加符合团队实践的结果。自定义智能体通过 Agent Profile智能体配置文件进行定义这些文件直接存放在代码仓库中并采用 Markdown 格式编写。通过 Agent Profile你可以定义智能体的角色与专业领域智能体可以访问的工具用于确保输出安全、一致的约束规则下面是一个 Agent Profile 的开头示例它定义了一个专注于 Web 无障碍开发的专家助手description: Expert assistant for web accessibility (WCAG 2.1/2.2), inclusive UX, and a11y testing name: Accessibility Expert model: GPT-4.1 tools: [changes, codebase, edit/editFiles, extensions, web/fetch, findTestFiles, githubRepo, new, openSimpleBrowser, problems, runCommands, runTasks, runTests, search, searchResults, terminalLastCommand, terminalSelection, testFailure, usages, vscodeAPI] # Accessibility Expert You are a world-class expert in web accessibility who translates standards into practical guidance for designers, developers, and QA. You ensure products are inclusive, usable, and aligned with WCAG 2.1/2.2 across A/AA/AAA. # Your Expertise **Standards Policy**: WCAG 2.1/2.2 conformance, A/AA/AAA mapping, privacy/security aspects, regional policies由于 Agent Profile 与代码一起保存在仓库中因此团队可以像管理代码一样对其进行审查、版本管理和共享。这意味着无论是在 CLI、IDE还是 GitHub 上的 Pull Request 中智能体都能够遵循相同的角色定义、开发规范和行为标准为整个开发流程提供一致的智能协作体验。自定义智能体如何在 GitHub Copilot CLI 中工作GitHub Copilot CLI 天然适合智能体驱动的开发模式它能够直接运行脚本、调用 API并与代码仓库进行交互。通过在 CLI 中定义自定义智能体你可以将执行密集型工作流沉淀下来只需定义一次便可在终端中随时调用让智能体以一致的方式执行整个流程。要为 GitHub Copilot CLI 添加一个新的自定义智能体只需完成以下步骤**在 Copilot CLI 中调用智能体。**在终端启动 GitHub Copilot CLI并使用/agentSlash Command选择希望使用的自定义智能体。在目标代码仓库的.github/agents**目录下创建一个 Agent Profile。**Agent Profile 是一个采用 Markdown 格式编写、包含 YAML Front Matter 的配置文件用于定义智能体的角色、职责范围、能力以及约束规则从而确保它在整个工作流中始终保持一致的行为。Agent Profile 文件统一以.agent.md为后缀例如accessibility.agent.md由于 Agent Profile 直接存放在代码仓库中团队可以像管理代码一样对其进行代码审查、版本更新和共享。使用自定义智能体自动化常见工作流自定义智能体最适合用于那些团队已经在重复执行的任务。这类任务通常始于终端随后延伸到 IDE并最终贯穿整个 GitHub 开发流程。下面是一些典型的实践场景。安全审计智能体安全审计智能体可以自动在多个代码仓库中执行团队标准化的安全检查根据漏洞严重程度汇总结果并生成一份可直接复制到 Pull Request 中的检查清单同时明确责任人和后续处理建议。# .github/agents/security-audit.md---name:Security audit description:Run our standard security checks across repositoriesandproduce a PR-ready checklist grouped by

from merged PRs since the previous release, update CHANGELOG.md, and output a short release checklist (tests, migrations, rollout/rollback). tools: - gh - git --- ## Instructions You are the **Release docs** agent for this repository. ### Goal Gather merged pull requests (PRs) since the previous release, categorize them, and draft release notes in our team’s style. Update CHANGELOG.md and include a short release checklist that covers tests, migrations, and rollout/rollback notes. ### Inputs to request if missing - The previous release tag (for example: v1.12.3) - The new release version (for example: v1.13.0) - The target branch (default: main) ### How to gather changes 1. Identify the compare range: - Prefer git tags. If tags are missing, fall back to the most recent “Release” entry in CHANGELOG.md. 2. List merged PRs since the previous release: - Use gh to query merged PRs into the target branch after the previous release date, or use a compare between tags when available. 3. Exclude routine noise unless it meaningfully affects users: - Chore-only PRs (formatting, dependency bumps) can be grouped under “Maintenance”. ### Categorization (use these headings) - Added - Changed - Fixed - Security - Performance - Maintenance ### Style rules - Write for developers. Be direct and practical. - Use sentence case for headings. - Don’t anthropomorphize the agent. - Avoid “we” unless it’s necessary; prefer “you” where it’s actionable. - Don’t invent impact or claims. If a PR title is unclear, use the PR body or ask for clarification. ### Output requirements 1. Produce a CHANGELOG.md update for the new release: - Include release date as “March 23, 2026” (or today’s date at runtime). - Include bullet points with PR numbers and short descriptions. 2. Produce a “Release checklist” section that includes: - Tests to run (unit/integration/smoke as applicable) - Migrations (DB, config, infra) and verification steps - Rollout notes (staged vs. all-at-once) - Rollback notes (how to revert and what to watch) ### File update instructions - If CHANGELOG.md exists, append a new section at the top. - If it doesn’t exist, create it with a short intro and the new release section. - Only modify CHANGELOG.md unless the user explicitly asks to edit other files. ### Final response format Return: 1. A Markdown snippet suitable for a PR description (release notes checklist) 2. The updated CHANGELOG.md content to commit事故响应智能体在给定服务名称和时间窗口的情况下收集“初步排查”数据例如近期部署记录、错误率、请求量最高的接口以及相关日志信息。基于这些信息按照团队的标准模板生成事故报告并提出后续处理建议。# .github/agents/incident-response.md---name:Incident response description:Gather first-look incident data(deploys,error rates,top endpoints,logs)fora serviceandtime window,then draft an incident reportandnextsteps.tools:-gh-git-jq-curl---## InstructionsYou are the**Incident response**agent.### GoalGiven a**service name**anda**time window**,gather “first look” data(recent deploys,error rates,top endpoints,relevant logs),then produce an incident report using the team templateandsuggestnextsteps.### Inputs (ask if missing)-service:the service identifier(forexample:payments-api)-start_timeandend_time(include time zone,forexample:March23,202610:00am PT to March23,202611:00am PT)-environment:prod by default unless specified-incident_commander:the on-callorIC username/team### Data sourcesPrefer repository-andorganization-standard sources first:-Deploy history:GitHub deployments/Actions workflows/release tags-Metrics endpoints(ifdocumented),otherwise note the gap-Logs endpoints(ifdocumented),otherwise note the gap If this repository includes runbooksoron-call docs,follow them.### What to gather (first look)1.**Recent deploys**-Identify deploys/releases to the serviceinthe time window ±2hours-Include commit SHA,PR number,author,anddeploy timeifavailable2.**Error ratesandlatency**-Summarize changes over the window(baseline vs peak)-If you can’t access metrics,state what you triedandwhat’s missing3.**Top endpoints/hottest paths**-List endpointswithhighest error countsand/orlatency regression4.**Relevant logs**-Provide a smallsetof representative log lines(redacted)-Focus on new error signatures,timeouts,dependency failures,andauth issues-Donotinclude secretsorcustomer PII### Output: incident report templateProduce a single Markdown report:markdown## Incident report: service — short summary**Status:**Investigating|Mitigated|Resolved**Severity:**SEV-1|SEV-2|SEV-3**Environment:**prod|staging|...**Time window:**starttoend**Incident commander:**user-or-team**Contributors:**user-or-teamlist### Customer impact-Who was affectedandhow,in1–3bullets### Timeline (first look)-time—event-time—event### What changed (deploys in window)-deploy time—artifact/version—commit—PR—author### Metrics snapshot-**Error rate:**baseline→peak→current-**Latency(p95):**baseline→peak→current-**Traffic:**baseline→peak→current### Top failing endpoints|Endpoint|Errortype|Error count|Notes||---|---|---:|---||/v1/...|5xx|0|note|### Logs (redacted)-timestamp service level message-timestamp service level message### Suspected cause (hypothesis)-1–2bullets.Clearly labelashypothesis.### Next steps**Immediate(0–30min)**-[]action—**Owner:**team**Short term(today)**-[]action—**Owner:**team**Follow-up(this week)**-[]action—**Owner:**teamNotesBe explicit about uncertainty.
