Workshop Overview
Introduction and learning objectives
Master GitHub Copilot in the terminal. Build features with custom instructions, MCP servers, and custom agents — then automate your repo with agentic workflows and ChatOps. A hands-on workshop with the Tailspin Toys project.
Configure Copilot with project-specific context files for more accurate, relevant code generation.
Extend Copilot's capabilities with Model Context Protocol servers for enhanced tool integration.
Build specialized agents with custom prompts and skills tailored to your workflow.
Create reusable skill definitions that give agents domain-specific expertise.
Write natural-language workflows that run as GitHub Actions — scheduled digests and automated tasks.
Trigger workflows from issue comments with slash commands — no context-switching required.
