Why it matters
Coding agents are moving from autocomplete to doing whole tasks: reading a codebase, making a plan and changing many files. This case is a concrete example of where that works in practice. It is one of 221 sightings filed under Software Development on Agent Sightings (number 32 by interest), and one of 116 involving Copilot Studio.
How you could try it
Here is a reusable prompt, written by us in our own words, that captures the task. Paste it into Copilot Studio or any similar agent and adjust the details to your situation.
I want a coding agent to plan first, work on a branch, and show me the diff before anything is merged. The tool in the source case was Copilot Studio.
Tip: Work on a fresh branch, ask for a plan before edits, and review the diff and test results before merging.
