Benchmark report is in the repo. This is 100% promptcoding but hey the evals look okay, speeds are pretty good on local machine (m5 max 64gb), and the LocalJev server exposes an API that can be used with the normal Jev API wrapper libraries.

It's currently an early prototype but we'll be developing it more over the coming months – and it's open source! You can check out the repo here. Use at your own risk, add ideas is issues. We've got plenty to explore in this space and will be developing it in public. github.com/githubnext/c...

I am wondering if in the future it will be: - my agent and your agent sharing a task (agents end up being everyone's very personalized avatar in the creative space) - we are communicating within earshot of multiple agents who do work (they are not intrinsically linked to either of us)

Got to talk at @aidotengineer.bsky.social conf last week about the need for collaborative AI engineering. All our current coding agents are single player. We're trying to scale up individual productivity, but creating tons of alignment problems in the process. We have no good tools for...

Lettermatic ✕ GitHub Next: the inside story of Monaspace, a truly groundbreaking advancement for how we display code. We knew that Lettermatic would go deep, but we were still amazed by their level of knowledge and craft. See their case study below, and get the fonts at monaspace.githubnext.com

New work for GitHub: Monaspace. 🔤 A superfamily of 5 open-source typefaces for code. Full case study here: lettermatic.com/custom/monas...

For the keen observers among you — the case study references Greek and Cyrillic support which is done but waiting on us to roll the 1.4 release. Coming very very soon!

My latest blog post is out! 🌈 Repo Assist: A Repository Assistant Repo Assist is an experimental automated assistant for software maintainers. For some repos, not all. It is a GitHub Agentic Workflow and uses Copilot, Claude or Gemini in automated, proactive mode. dsyme.net/2026/02/25/r...

Coda: You can get value out of this in five minutes, but getting maximum value requires a behavioral shift, and folks at Next are buzzing about this. This tool can do many things. It's easy to use, but harder to realize/internalize that you can apply it to problems you wouldn't have before.

Much like @steve-yegge.bsky.social's 8 levels of AI adoption, the superusers of Agentic Workflows are not just doing the same work as before, they're moving the conventions around what is automatable. It's wild to see this firsthand inside our team. ❤️

We're seeing teams at GitHub use it for building tooling and workflows for themselves. We're seeing developer-adjacent personas at GitHub using agentic workflows to help them move information around. Software is a team sport and this helps everyone on the team, not just the engineers.

And we're particularly excited about using this to help open-source maintainers. When we showed this to @frenck.social, the maintainer of Home Assistant, he wrote a workflow that reads the traces for bugs and figures out if they originate in the HA codebase or not. True noise elimination for OSS.

Core to the behavior of Agentic Workflows is the notion of safe outputs. The body of a workflow is markdown, but the frontmatter is where you explicitly define what the agent can read and write, and those are enforced outside of the agentic run.

Heuristics can only take you so far in automation. There's no linter in existence that can tell you if your code and documentation have drifted out of sync. Agentic Workflows make it stupidly simple to express a task you want to delegate, forever — and have it do that for you, forever.

I've been lucky enough to build with the @githubnext.com team for the last few months and I can't wait to share what we've been dreaming up at Universe! ✴︎ Also I'll be there at the Next booth so come say hi 👋

Nate Butler@handle.invalid

Going to be at Universe 25? Come see what the Next team has been cooking 🍳

3/❓Why? Some tasks are perfect for natural language: • Continuous documentation updates • Issue triage • Accessibility reviews • Test improvements • Continuous QA All repetitive, collaborative, and needing a bit of judgment.

4/ ✨ Key ideas: • GitHub-native, Actions-first • Engine-neutral (swap LLMs without rewriting) • Shareable workflow pieces • Strong guardrails + auditable execution

For the last 10 years I’ve been wanting a chance to design the future—not tomorrow, or the next thing, but 3 things after that. The 5 year horizon. To explore design fiction, maybe even a bit of science fiction? Tomorrow, I get to give it a shot with my first day @githubnext.com !
