“Unlike a real rubber duck, this one talks back: it returns a structured critique that Copilot can act on.” I feel like the use of the phrase “rubber ducking” has been ducked up on this peer review agent, it makes it more confusing if you’re already familiar with the phrase haha

I got a MacBook Air recently and compared to my Windows machines it’s so fast that it makes the Windows machine unenjoyable. I got it for nostalgias sake because I used Macs from 10-25 years old and some things are great as I remembered, but the UX is pretty disappointing and far out the bugs

on the collection of results instead of on each iteration. Each iteration can push the results into a collection scoped to the test.

I can't open source that stuff because it's for my day job but the gist is to create a copilot sdk session and subscribe to the events you want to assert on from docs.github.com/en/copilot/h... If the unit test framework supports it, extend a base test to repeat the scenario and assert...

Having this has helped a lot to tune skills. Seeing it run N times and have a 20% hit rate on invoking the tool makes it easy to know where to tune them. Offloading as much of the agent logic into skills composition makes it easier to reason about because you can test smaller units

Shaun Lawrie @shaunlawrie.com · 04/05/2026

Copilot SDK internally uses the CLI and exposes a structured output so you can assert on tool calls etc with deterministic checks and use judging LLMs for qualitative checks. I’ve been mainly focused on evaluating skills for their triggering, solution trajectory and token usage with a unit test lib

I threw an “orchestrator” agent overtop of this that calls these as subagents and commits each set of changes. It automatically progresses through each agent with each using its own context. It needs the preview setting for custom subagents is turned on though code.visualstudio.com/docs/copilot...

Shaun Lawrie @shaunlawrie.com · 23/02/2026

Yeah I think that and using the 0x multiplier models for things you don’t care about the quality on stretches the balance a long way

Shaun Lawrie @shaunlawrie.com · 23/02/2026

Especially when you wind up the chat.maxRequests setting so it gets more done in a single “premium request”

Shaun Lawrie @shaunlawrie.com · 23/02/2026

Yeah it’s not bad to have access to a variety of models with decent cost and the enterprise tier provides some decent level of security/feature controls. Their accounting of “premium requests” is more forgiving than token based pricing docs.github.com/en/copilot/c...

I wrote a planner agent with a handoff to an implementation one and thought it would be automatic but it pops a button to ask if you want to have it progress to implementation code.visualstudio.com/docs/copilot... I’d be happy if that automatically switched over.

I love copilot workspaces for things I need to start on while I don’t have a computer available. It may get some things wrong but it’s a much nicer mobile experience than trying to type in a code editor on my phone. @github.com this type of interface in the native mobile app would be epic 👀
