Foundry Agentic Loop for GitHub Copilot: Scope a Minimal Agent
Use the Foundry Agentic Loop plugin to pick a build mode and define a small hosted agent's boundary. Rehearse how Copilot separates design, verification and deployment.
中文Setup for GitHub Copilot
Use GitHub Copilot with the Awesome Copilot marketplace and the Foundry Agentic Loop plugin. Live workflows require an approved Foundry project and identities. The design exercise can use a fictional project and requires no Azure login.
- In the Copilot app, install Foundry Agentic Loop under Customize and Plugins, or run copilot plugin install foundry-agentic-loop@awesome-copilot after registering the marketplace.
- Reload Copilot's plugin discovery. Ask it to open Agentic Loop and use chat for the read-only design exercise. Check whether the canvas and workflow are available before attempting an actual build.
Example task
Describe a fictional existing Foundry project and one hosted agent that answers questions about a synthetic FAQ. Ask for a planning-only rapid prototype with one source, no web lookups, and a proposed verification checkpoint. Stop after the architecture outline.Expected result
The plan selects a rapid prototype, names one agent and one test input, separates model access from tool identity, and defines evidence to collect before expanding. The rehearsal creates no resources and reports deployment as pending.

Frequently asked question
When should I choose rapid prototyping in Foundry Agentic Loop?
Use rapid prototyping for an existing Foundry project and a small working slice. The spec-driven workflow handles a broader specification, implementation, verification and deployment sequence.
