Stop tab-switching. Start commanding. A curated collection of GitHub Copilot agents and prompt templates that turn your editor into a GitHub command center.
Agent Forge is a collection of 5 specialized AI agents and 28 prompt commands that live inside VS Code's Copilot Chat. They interact with GitHub on your behalf -- finding issues, reviewing code, tracking team progress, managing releases, and monitoring accessibility -- all without leaving your editor.
Type a question in plain English. Get back organized, prioritized, actionable answers.
| Capability | Description |
|---|---|
| Morning Briefings | Sweeps every repo you have access to -- issues, PRs, releases, CI, security alerts, community reactions -- and builds a prioritized dashboard |
| Code Reviews | Line-numbered diffs with Change Maps, risk assessment, before/after snapshots, CI results, interactive L-number commenting, and full review documents |
| Issue Triage | Cross-repo priority scoring with community sentiment, release awareness, batch replies, and saved searches |
| Team Analytics | Velocity trends, review turnaround, bottleneck detection, code hotspots, and workload balancing across all repos |
| Release Management | Auto-categorized release notes, readiness checklists, and complete release workflows |
| Accessibility Tracking | WCAG/ARIA cross-referenced change monitoring across any configured repos (VS Code by default) |
| Security Monitoring | Dependabot alerts, security advisories, and dependency tracking across all repos |
| Full GitHub Interaction | Comment, react, merge, close, label, assign, transfer -- without opening your browser |
