GitHub publishes developer guide to agentic engineering
What happened
On 7 November 2026, the GitHub Blog published a developer guide arguing that agentic engineering must cover four stages: Plan, Build, Verify and Observe, marking a shift from code generation to agentic engineering. The report also gives figures: GitHub has passed 1.2 billion weekly commits, up more than 400% year on year, and Faros AI research shows that when a team's AI adoption rises from low to high, PR review time increases by 441%. Progress so far is limited to the guide's publication and the disclosure of related data; the report does not mention any follow-up implementation plans.
