You don’t always need a pipeline to automate logic anymore. One of the most underrated capabilities of GitHub Copilot today is “Skills.” Copilot Skills allow you to define a reusable piece of logic once—as instructions, commands, or scripts—and then run it again and again directly from Copilot Chat. No YAML-heavy pipelines. No separate tooling. No copy‑pasting command sequences. Think of it as: 👉 Turning your runbooks into executable knowledge With Copilot Skills you can: Bundle instructions, scripts, and templates Store them in the repo (or your personal setup) Trigger them using natural language or a slash command Let Copilot orchestrate execution safely Example use cases: “Run our standard pre-release checks” “Analyze failing tests and generate a summary” “Apply repo conventions and formatting” “Debug a pipeline without rerunning CI” Instead of asking “Should I build a pipeline for this?” The new question becomes: “Is this logic something Copilot can execute on demand as a Skill?” We’re moving from pipeline-first automation to AI-triggered, reusable workflows. This fundamentally changes how teams think about DevOps, internal tooling, and developer productivity. Curious to hear how others are using Copilot Skills in real projects. #GitHubCopilot #DeveloperProductivity #DevOps #AIEngineering #Automation #PlatformEngineering #GitHubCopilotSkills

Spinning up a new service shouldn’t feel like a project in itself. But in many teams, it still does: • Create repo • Setup CI/CD • Provision infra • Configure environments • Fix “works on my machine” issues By the time you’re done… the actual feature hasn’t even started. --- We tried flipping this completely by treating Developer Experience as a product. Here’s what worked for us: 🔹 Template-driven development A standard project template with CI/CD baked in → no reinventing pipelines or structure every time 🔹 Infrastructure as code (Terraform) Repo + infra setup fully automated → consistent environments from day one 🔹 Automation on top of automation (GitHub Copilot) We trained Copilot to generate PRs for setting up services using the template So now the flow looks like: 👉 Describe what you need 👉 Copilot creates the PR (repo + infra + pipeline setup) 👉 Review → Merge → Done No manual setup. No back-and-forth. No waiting. --- 💡 What changed: • Service setup went from hours/days → minutes • Developers focus on business logic, not boilerplate • Consistency across teams improved massively --- The real win isn’t speed alone— it’s removing friction from the very first step of development. --- Curious—how does your team bootstrap new services today? #DeveloperExperience #PlatformEngineering #DevOps #Terraform #GitHubCopilot #Automation

⛔Stop wasting your elite engineering talent on boilerplate code. What if your Jira tickets could implement themselves? We’ve moved beyond simple code completion. Our engineers have built a game-changing AI Agent that bridges the gap between GitHub Copilot and Jira. It doesn’t just assist. It executes. Why does this matter for your team? ✔️Zero-Friction Development: The Agent fetches business requirements and acceptance criteria directly from Jira. No more "lost in translation." ✔️Full-Stack Autonomy: From backend logic to frontend UI and testing. Our Agent drafts a complete implementation plan and opens the Pull Request for you. ✔️Self-Healing Code: Encountered a bug? Just tag the Agent in a PR comment. It analyzes the feedback and delivers a fix in real-time. The result? Your developers spend less time on "plumbing" and more time on high-level architecture and innovation.

A recurring workflow that used to take 1 full working day now takes 23 minutes. This is the result of testing GitHub Copilot on a real frequent process. The workflow requires: • 10 Git repositories • 41 separate steps • 9 dynamic parameters to know what needs to be done • Attention to avoid typos, missed steps, and inconsistencies • Around one full day of developer time The task itself is not so difficult. It is repetitive, manual, and just follows written steps. But it is easy to slow down with meetings, interruptions, and context switching. So I asked a question: Could AI help with that workflow, not only code generation? Instead of using Copilot as an autocomplete tool, I decided to use it to create something reusable and faster to complete that process: • knowledge.md for context • instructions.md for workflow logic • skills.md files for reusable actions • custom-agent.md for orchestration After several iterations with corrections, the result was reached. I launched the custom agent, went for a coffee break, and came back while it was almost finished. Final result: • Feature branches created • All required changes implemented • Pull requests opened • Total runtime: 23 minutes What still remains for a human: • Reviewing the changes • Getting feedback from colleagues • Merging and rolling out code changes Takeaways from this journey: • Copilot could automate repeatable processes and make them much faster • It is not enough to run it only once. Each iteration showed different pitfalls • Strict guidelines for Copilot are needed, it sometimes forgets or tries to skip steps This notebook sketch shows how a manual workflow was transformed into a custom agent solution 👇 The full journey can be found on Medium (link in comments). #SEBTech #AI #GitHubCopilot #SoftwareEngineering #Automation #Productivity

Claude Routine launched two days ago and I already see builders treating it like a workflow engine. It is not. Not yet. For context: Routine is a new research-preview feature inside Claude Code. You save a Claude Code configuration (prompt, repo, connectors) and schedule it to run on Anthropic's cloud via cron, GitHub events, or HTTP API. Genuinely useful idea. But I kept hitting the same five walls when I tried to fit it into real production work. Here is where it struggles right now: 1. The run cap is brutal for real workloads Pro plan gets 5 runs per day. Max plan gets 15. Team and Enterprise get 25. My n8n instance running self-hosted does thousands of executions a day without a ceiling. GitHub Actions free tier does not even blink at this volume. 2. No auditable logic paths Routine relies on Claude's reasoning to handle branching. There is no if/else you can point to, no switch node, no visible condition tree. When something goes wrong in production, "Claude figured it out" is not an answer your team can debug. 3. Zero observability out of the box No per-run logs. No failure history. No cost breakdown per execution. If a Routine run silently fails, you are not going to know unless you build monitoring around it yourself. 4. Token costs are a real gamble right now Developers have been reporting 4 to 10x token burn since the late-March Claude Code update. One builder on a Max plan drained it in under an hour. Until token consumption stabilizes, scheduling autonomous runs against a metered plan is a risk. 5. The timing of this launch was rough The research preview dropped on April 14 with an experimental API header signaling potential breaking changes. April 15, one day later, Anthropic had a documented outage. That is a shaky foundation for anything you need to rely on. None of this means Routine is a bad product. For scheduled PR reviews, weekly docs sweeps, automated issue triage, it is a strong fit. The repo context and Claude's reasoning make it genuinely good at that kind of work. But it is not replacing a workflow engine. Not today. I am using both. They solve different problems. #ClaudeCode #Anthropic #n8n #AIAutomation #AgenticAI

I had a little fun over the weekend 🤓 I explored how GitHub Copilot Agents running inside GitHub Actions are enabling a new model of development: ✅ Task‑driven intelligence ✅ Context‑aware automation ✅ Secure, sandboxed execution ✅ AI that runs with your pipeline — not outside of it This is about moving from always‑on assistants to event‑driven, workflow‑native intelligence embedded directly into the SDLC. Let me know what you think: https://lnkd.in/gmAQ2d-7 #github #copilot #learnitall #agents #sdlc #workflows #apm

Your engineering backlog shouldn't be your bottleneck. What if you could turn every GitHub Issue into a verified Pull Request—while you’re offline? Meet Ghost Developer —my latest project that brings autonomous, zero-touch engineering to any repository. This isn't just another "AI autocomplete." This is a specialized multi-agent swarm built on the official Claude Code CLI that actually lives in your codebase. Here is what the Ghost does differently: Autonomous Execution: It doesn't just suggest code; it navigates your repo, runs bash commands, and performs its own tests. Event-Driven: Integrated with GitHub Webhooks. When an issue is raised, the swarm wakes up and starts building. Self-Correcting: If a test fails, the Ghost doesn't give up. It reads the error, refactors the logic, and tries again until the build passes. PR-Ready: Once the task is finished and verified, it pushes a finalized Pull Request directly to your team. I built this to solve the "Developer To-Do List" crisis. By delegating the repetitive, logic-heavy lifting to an autonomous agent, I can focus on high-level architecture while the Ghost handles the execution. It’s fast, it’s secure, and it’s open-source. The era of "AI-Assisted" is over. We’ve entered the era of the Autonomous Engineer.
