Agent: GitHub Copilot

[spaceemotion]

What problem are you trying to solve

Instead of Claude Code or Codex, we're using GitHub Copilot (at least for the time being). Would love to see that being an easy agent option, as they support a wide range of models, too.

What would you want deepsec to do

Add Copilot as an agent option, with support for different models.

Workaround you're using today

(none)

The existing agents accept model configuration, so you can point this at your models. I wouldn't add another agent harness unless there is reason to believe it would lead to better outcomes.

Hm, would adding support for Pi as a harness work? That one allows plugging in many different model providers, so using a Copilot sub with it works just as well, without having to change the agent system itself.

Here in Germany many companies are still "stuck" with Github Copilot because many companies are already using Microsoft 365 or Azure anyway so regulatory hurdles are smaller compared to Claude or Codex. Although the switch to usage-based pricing might provide some migration pressure.

As funny as it sounds, but I guess your userbase here could grow a lot quicker if you were to support Copilot. Pi would also be nice as a proxy though :)

Sadly, you need to realize GitHub Copilot has arround 1/4 of all Coding Agent user base, even if we are all very silent and behind company proxy/NDA
