Developers work across many surfaces like the CLI, IDE, and GitHub. The terminal is often where they turn to move fast, automate tasks, or work directly with systems and scripts.
Tools like the GitHub Copilot CLI already make this easier. You can generate commands, debug issues, and move quicker without leaving the terminal.
However, like any environment, the CLI can still accumulate friction: re-running the same commands, re-explaining context, or translating logs for your team into something they can act on. These small steps add up, especially when every team’s stack and standards are a little different.
But what if your terminal didn’t just run commands, it understood your stack, your tools, and your team’s standards?
That’s where custom agents come in. Instead of starting from scratch each time, you can encode your team’s context into reusable workflows that go beyond one-off prompts.
