# How Burke Holland actually uses coding agents

Works on GitHub Copilot

**If you take one thing:** `A lead agent per project`, he just files issues. each project gets a standing Copilot lead that triages, tests, merges and cleans up, so his input is the issue tracker.

- **Agent:** GitHub Copilot (app) ([source, 2026-10-01](https://x.com/burkeholland/status/2105459495833063754))
- **Agent:** Claude Code (web) ([source, 2026-10-11](https://github.com/burkeholland/convert-me/pull/1))
- **Model:** Luna Max ([source, 2026-09-16](https://x.com/burkeholland/status/2100234706977423643))
- **Model:** Claude Opus 5.5 ([source, 2026-09-28](https://x.com/burkeholland/status/2104721615774949621))
- **Review:** Rubber duck review by a second model family; he no longer reads the code ([source, 2026-07-27](https://github.blog/ai-and-ml/github-copilot/the-harness-is-all-you-need-mostly/))
- **Harness:** GitHub Copilot app: a lead agent per project runs sessions, PRs, merges and worktrees ([source, 2026-10-01](https://x.com/burkeholland/status/2105459495833063754))
- **Rules file:** 'LLM AI coding agent' custom agent prompt (VS Code) ([source, 2026-01-05](https://burkeholland.github.io/posts/opus-4-5-change-everything/))
- **Skills:** issue, postrboard ([source, 2026-08-10](https://github.com/burkeholland/loadout/tree/4e2c2ff4fbe7c99a0e5c27220f60e27bc3f9ed3a/skills))

## In their words

> I've moved on to just assigning each project a lead in @GitHub Copilot and making everything their problem.

> Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

> You can do 90% of everything with just Luna and its so dirt cheap that it's almost free.

> We're doing Opus 5.5 things all day.

> In a Rubber Duck review, GitHub Copilot will request a review from a model of a different AI family.
