Not every entry on AgentPoints is an operating agent. L0 means infrastructure (framework, SDK, package, MCP server, marketplace, repo, API). L1–L5 describe increasing autonomy. About these classes →
GitHub Copilot cloud agent assists developers by researching repositories, creating implementation plans, and making code changes. It supports code review, iteration, and the creation of pull requests, streamlining the development workflow.
- Define a coding task or feature request.
- Instruct the Copilot agent to research relevant repositories.
- Generate an implementation plan and code changes.
- Review the proposed code diffs and iterate.
- Create a pull request for the changes.
Software developers and engineering teams seeking to accelerate coding and code management tasks.
- Enable agents to research code repositories
- Generate implementation plans with AI
- Automate code changes via agents
