A custom agent is a Copilot agent that can be defined using a Markdown file. Instead of relying on generic behavior, you describe how the agent should operate, what tools it can use, what standards it should follow, and what outputs it should produce. The result: its behavior is consistent wherever it runs. Each coding agent you create can act as a specialized agent tailored for a specific task. For example, a generic coding agent might suggest how to clean up your code. But a custom agent can apply your formatting rules, tooling, accessibility standards, review requirements, and safety requir
