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.","content_kind":"author_paraphrase","explanation":{"feature":"The feature can draw on saved repository context and store fix patterns for future use.","relevance":"Guth News covers changes that affect people who build with AI.
