The feature can draw on saved repository context and store fix patterns for future use.

GitHub's agentic autofix now draws on Copilot Memory for customers who have enabled that memory feature. When handling security alerts, the tool looks through existing memories for context that could inform a fix, then saves the approach used as a memory. Those saved patterns are intended to support later alert fixes and give other Copilot features, including code review and cloud agent, repository-specific secure-development knowledge. GitHub says both agentic autofix and Copilot Memory are available in public preview. The change connects remembered repository context with security-alert remediation and lets fixes contribute patterns for future Copilot work. The feature's memory use depends on customers enabling Copilot Memory.
