Enterprise agent governance template

This template repository makes it easy for enterprise owners to get started with and establish settings for their agents by providing:

• The basic file structure necessary for custom agents
• An example agent profile in the agents directory
• An empty managed-settings.json file, which defines governance and extensibility settings in clients

[!NOTE]
The example agent profile is commented out, so you can use this template repository without unintentionally making a custom agent available to your team.

Getting started

1. Using this template repository, create a private repository called .github-private in your organization.
2. Edit this README to best meet your needs. Consider including creation guidelines for custom agents or compliance considerations specific to your team.
3. Edit the provided agents/example-agent.md file to create your first custom agent. For more information, see Creating custom agents.
4. Edit the managed-settings.json file at .github/copilot/managed-settings.json to configure enterprise-wide client settings. For more information, see About enterprise-managed plugin standards and Disabling automatic command approval in Copilot clients.
