## Copilot Coding Agent (Cloud Agent)
|
|
|
|
The Copilot Coding Agent lets Copilot autonomously work on GitHub issues:
|
|
|
|
1. Go to a GitHub Issue in your browser
|
|
2. Click **"Assign to Copilot"** (or mention `@github-copilot` in a comment)
|
|
3. Copilot opens a PR with the solution
|
|
4. Review the PR, request changes if needed, and merge
|
|
|
|
**Tips:**
|
|
- Write clear, detailed issue descriptions — the agent works from the issue text.
|
|
- The agent works best on well-scoped, single-concern issues.
|
|
- Always review the agent's PR before merging.
|

|
## Multi-Account Workflow
|
|
|
|
When working across both accounts (Mac + Windows):
|
|
|
|
1. Each account has its own Copilot Pro subscription — they work independently.
|
|
2. Both accounts can collaborate on the same Hoppe-home organisation repos.
|
|
3. Copilot suggestions are personal — they do not sync between accounts.
|
|
4. Use GitHub Issues and PRs to hand off work between accounts.
