The image shows a GitHub interface for opening a pull request. It features dropdown menus for selecting base and compare branches, a green checkmark indicating automatic merge capability, a text box for comments, and formatting options.

Instant first pass

Receive structured, actionable feedback the moment a pull request is opened whether you assign it Copilot manually or configure it to review automatically.

Reviews that know your repo

Copilot works where your code already lives. It analyzes your full changeset across files, grounded in your repository and codebase, not generic best practices.

Customized to how your team builds

Define coding guidelines, extend Copilot with custom agent skills, or connect your own tools through MCP. Your standards, enforced on every PR, consistently and without reviewer fatigue.

Better together than either alone

Review bottlenecks slow teams down. Copilot takes the first pass so reviewers can focus on what matters most.

Reviews the full changeset across files to flag bugs, security risks, and style issues. It suggests multi-line fixes you can apply in one click, comments directly on the lines that need attention, and can hand off suggestions to the Copilot cloud agent for autonomous resolution.

Agentic code review

Copilot follows the logic of your change across functions and files, understands the intent behind it, and surfaces issues that line-by-line analysis would miss.

Reviews grounded in your codebase

Copilot can draw on custom instructions and Copilot Memory to understand your project's conventions, architecture, and context, so feedback reflects how your team actually builds.

Extensible to your workflow

Build custom agent skills or connect your own tools through MCP to tailor what Copilot reviews and how. Your standards, your tools, your way of working.
