Using GitHub Copilot for anything but writing code

GitHub Copilot is awesome. It helps you write code.
…but you already knew that.

What about everything around the code?

Requirements. Test plans. Code reviews. Documentation. Design notes.
All the parts of the development workflow that usually get rushed, postponed, or done “just enough.”

In this hands-on workshop, we’ll explore how to use GitHub Copilot for exactly those non-coding tasks by working with custom agents, sub-agents, MCPs, and stored prompts.

We’ll cover:

  • How to create custom agents for tasks like requirement analysis, test planning, and documentation
  • How these compare to community-built agents
  • Where sub-agents fit into more complex workflows
  • What MCPs are, and which ones work best for non-coding use cases
  • How to prepare prompts for reliable one-time execution

You’ll leave with ready-to-use prompts and agent configurations that you can share with your team and apply to your own projects the very next day.

You’ve heard a lot about using AI to write code.
Join this workshop to learn how to use it for everything else.

Audience:

  • Development Managers
  • Developers
  • Testers
  • Product Owners

Workshop date: Tue 9 or Wed 10 June (This is a one-day workshop)
