About
An official GitHub tool that brings Copilot's agentic coding assistant to the terminal, letting developers build, debug, and refactor code via natural language while staying connected to GitHub repos, issues, and pull requests. It supports MCP servers for extensibility, LSP integration for code intelligence, and requires explicit approval before executing actions.
What it can do
Build, debug, and refactor code from natural language instructions
Natural language prompt → Code changes
Provide code intelligence via LSP integration
Source code → Code intelligence data
Why it made the leaderboard
It runs an agentic coding loop in your terminal with first-class access to GitHub issues, PRs, and repo context, so tasks like triaging an issue and opening a fix PR stay in one flow. MCP and LSP support plus explicit approval before every action make it extensible and safer than free-running agents.
