What were the highlights of the GitHub Universe 2025 keynote?

GitHub'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. Mission Control is a single view to assign, steer and track agent sessions across projects. Custom agents let teams tailor Copilot for tasks like documentation or test-driven development. Agent HQ will bring coding agents such as Claude and Codex onto GitHub alongside Copilot.
