Agent activity in GitHub Issues and Projects

Source: GitHub Changelog

Agent sessions under assignees in GitHub Issues

When a coding agent (e.g., Copilot, Claude, or Codex) is assigned to an issue, its session now appears directly under the assignee in the sidebar. Each session shows a live status: queued, working, waiting for review, or completed. Click any session to jump straight into the session logs.

This feature is generally available for all repositories with access to coding agents.

Agent sessions in project table and board views

Agent sessions now surface directly in project table and board views. You can see at a glance which items have attached agent sessions, their current status, and how work is progressing across a large body of work.

To try this out, open the View menu and turn on Show agent sessions.
