Description: See which commits GitHub Copilot's coding agent wrote in your repo, and hand it SeeRepo's prompts.

# SeeRepo with GitHub Copilot

GitHub Copilot's coding agent takes a task, works on a branch and opens a pull request. SeeRepo shows you what it changed and how it connects.

## The signature it leaves

Copilot authors its commits and the person who gave it the task is the co-author. It can only push to a branch that starts with `copilot/`, or to the pull request it was asked to work on ([Copilot coding agent](https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/concepts/agents/coding-agent/risks-and-mitigations)). Each commit also carries an `Agent-Logs-Url` line with its session ([GitHub changelog](https://github.blog/changelog/2026-03-20-trace-any-copilot-coding-agent-commit-to-its-session-logs)).

## How SeeRepo recognizes it

A commit counts as Copilot's when its author or its Co-Authored-By line says "copilot". A merge of a branch that starts with `copilot/` also counts.

## Where it shows in SeeRepo

- **Made by**, on a part's sheet: its logo next to the people. Click it and the map shows only what GitHub Copilot touched.
- **Journey**: its posts tell, day by day, what it did, with its mark; **Who wrote it**, on the wall, what share it signed since the start. Tap it there to open its sheet: what it fixed, what it left and which modules it worked on this month, with the link to its posts. See [Journey](/docs/metrics).
- **Moments**: the day it starts writing most of the project, the moment \"**GitHub Copilot took over from …**\" stays.
- **The filter**: under **Agent**, pick GitHub Copilot to see only its work.

The full list of agents SeeRepo recognizes is in the [Agent directory](/agents).

## Hand it a prompt from SeeRepo

SeeRepo writes prompts for what's worth fixing, ready for GitHub Copilot:

1. **Open Health** and tap a task: failing tests, errors in production, packages with security flaws, files nothing uses… Its sheet opens. See [Health](/docs/health).
2. **Click "Copy prompt"**. The prompt names your repo, lists the files, and says what to do.
3. **Paste it into GitHub Copilot**: it will know which files to read.

If your project has no automatic tests, **Health** says so in **Tests** ("They don't run on their own") and offers "**Copy prompt to make them run on their own**": GitHub Copilot can set them up in a few minutes.
