When it comes to AI, our IDEs now start up in agent mode by default, GitHub Copilot is supported out of the box, there’s a new way to install and manage agent skills with a curated skills repository, and the built-in AI completion can now use third-party model providers.

The IDEs now bundle agent skills that teach AI agents how to use IDE features. IntelliJ IDEA, RubyMine, CLion, and Rider ship with a skill for debugging, while Rider offers skills for refactoring and performance analysis and DataGrip comes with one for database operations.

The updated Git integration introduced in 2026.2 improves one of the most annoying parts of the workflow – resolving merge conflicts. Now you get a clearer view of the status of all your files, and the IDE can resolve many conflicts for you.
