GitHub Next investigates the future of software development.

We are a team of researchers and engineers at GitHub, exploring things beyond the adjacent possible. We prototype tools and technologies that will change our craft. We identify new approaches to building healthy, productive software engineering teams.

Crane: verified code migration

Crane is a migration assistant for GitHub repositories that plans, executes, and verifies code migrations in small agentic steps while keeping humans in control.

A launch readiness flow with insights and checklist triage.

Agentics Beyond Code

What happens when you give PMs, compliance teams, and leaders their own agents? A tour of Agentics Beyond Code — an open-source set of GitHub Agentic Workflows for the non-engineering roles that ship, govern, and operate products.

Control what your agentic workflows see with integrity filtering

GitHub Agentic Workflows filter untrusted GitHub content before it reaches the agent. Here’s why integrity filtering matters for repository maintainers, and how we built it.

Agent Functions

Prompts are programs. You wouldn’t write a complex program completely from scratch, in a big, soupy loop without subroutines, and then write it again the next time you wanted to run it. Why let your agent work that way?

A loader with level of detail

Borrowed from 3D rendering: level of detail. The loader shows more as it grows and strips back as it shrinks, so it reads cleanly at any size.

Canary: a harm gate for agentic systems

Canary puts a small, auditable gate in front of agentic workflows so untrusted artifacts are classified before powerful agents act on them.
