  • Agent skills, now GA in code review

    Copilot code review's agent skills are generally available on Pro, Pro+, Business, and Enterprise. Add a SKILL.md under .github/skills and every automated review applies your repo's standards and internal context, with comments flagging which skill informed each suggestion.

  • Read-only MCP, wired into the reviewer

    You can now connect MCP servers — issue trackers, docs — so reviews pull real context. All tool calls are forced read-only, GitHub and Playwright MCP are on by default, and your existing Copilot cloud-agent MCP config carries over automatically.

  • Cursor Start: rupee-priced India plan

    Cursor's new India-only plan bills at 649 rupees a month with UPI and bundles Grok 4.5, Composer, always-on cloud agents, and iOS remote control. It targets what Cursor calls its third-largest market — 3M+ developers running more agent requests per head than anywhere else.
