Live Agent Log Monitoring in Raycast

The GitHub Copilot extension for Raycast now integrates live monitoring of Copilot coding agent sessions directly into the Raycast launcher. Developers can watch their agent's logs and track progress without leaving their development environment or jumping between browser tabs and applications.

How to Use

To access live Copilot logs from Raycast:

  1. Install the GitHub Copilot extension for Raycast
  2. Open Raycast
  3. Select the View Tasks command
  4. Pick your active session from the list

The feature displays real-time agent activity, allowing developers to keep tabs on what Copilot is doing and monitor completion status with just a few keystrokes.

Availability

The Copilot coding agent is available to subscribers of:

  • Copilot Pro
  • Copilot Pro+
  • Copilot Business
  • Copilot Enterprise

Note: Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise administrators must first enable the Copilot coding agent from the "Policies" page before team members can use this feature.

Developer Impact

This addition reduces context switching and improves the development workflow by keeping monitoring capabilities within the launcher developers already use for system tasks. It complements recent improvements to Copilot's agent visibility and performance.
