GitHub Copilot
IDE-native assistancetreated as drafts until reviewed.
Overview
Faster typing — not a substitute for judgment
Copilot helps with boilerplate, tests, and refactors inside familiar editors. Suggestions go through the same review, security, and acceptance criteria as any other change.
Where it shows up
Where Copilot helps us
Boilerplate & tests
Scaffolding and repetitive patterns so engineers focus on edge cases and integration.
Exploration
Unfamiliar APIs spiked quickly — then narrowed to patterns we will maintain.
Refactors
Mechanical edits across files with diff review to catch subtle mistakes.
Practice
Guardrails we keep
- No secrets or customer data in prompts — policy and tooling aligned to your compliance needs.
- License and dependency awareness — generated snippets still get ownership review.
- Pairing with human QA for user-visible behavior.
