Assign GitHub issues to an agent

Turn issues into draft PRs without leaving GitHub.

Starter prompt

(In the issue) Acceptance criteria: <list>. Tests to add: <list>. Assign to Copilot.

Config

.github/copilot-instructions.md

- Run `npm test` before opening a PR.
- Follow the existing folder structure.
- Keep PRs under 300 changed lines; split otherwise.

Setup steps

  1. Add repository instructions.
  2. Write issues with acceptance criteria.
  3. Assign to Copilot and review the draft PR.

Why this works

Lives where your issues already are.

Watch out

Since June 2026 usage is credit-based; heavy agent use can exhaust a Pro plan.
