Building and Publishing Copilot Agents with Work IQ Developer Tools

Learn how Work IQ Developer Tools and GitHub Copilot CLI can support the end-to-end development of plugins and declarative agents, from gathering work context to publishing and usage insights. A fictional insurance claims scenario demonstrates the workflow with an MCP server, skills, and web search.

■ Development and validation
- Connect to an MCP server, create a claims plugin and frontline agent, and test them in Copilot surfaces.
- Use colleague feedback to refine the agent and build an evaluation set.

■ Publishing and follow-up
- Prepare and publish to a tenant catalog, then review usage insights to guide further updates.
- Partner Center and marketplace publishing are noted as still in progress.

For developers building Copilot agents or plugins, this walkthrough provides a practical view of the tools and lifecycle. Use it to identify a project outcome, try the build-and-test workflow, and iterate based on user feedback and evaluations.
