GitHub Universe 2025 opening keynoteOct 28, 2025 · 1h 0m · Kyle DaigleGitHub's 2025 keynote made GitHub the home for coding agents: Agent HQ brings coding agents from partners such as Anthropic and OpenAI next to Copilot, managed from a single Mission Control, with custom agents, deeper MCP support in VS Code, Copilot code review and metrics, and an enterprise control plane for agents.
Key themes: AI coding, Agents, Governance
- 1Mission Control is a single view to assign, steer and track agent sessions across projects
- 2Custom agents let teams tailor Copilot for tasks like documentation or test-driven development
- 3Agent HQ will bring coding agents such as Claude and Codex onto GitHub alongside Copilot
- 4Partner agents arrive in Agent HQ for Copilot Pro+ users later in the year
- 5MCP is fully integrated in VS Code, so custom agents can use tools like the Playwright MCP server
- 6Copilot code review gives a first pass on pull requests aimed at real issues, not nits
- 7An enterprise control plane will govern Copilot and, in future, all of Agent HQ from one admin interface
