What to check about GitHub Copilot's memory

GitHub Copilot provides Custom instructions + Copilot Memory. Check its scope before adding another service:

• Copilot Memory availability depends on the feature, plan, and account settings.
• Repository facts stay scoped to that repository. Personal preferences belong to the user.
• Your company knowledge may also live outside GitHub.
• A separate shared context service needs its own access and retention review.

Where Daiton fits

Daiton connects company knowledge to GitHub Copilot over MCP. Confirm your client supports the required connection and agree which sources the agent can access:

• Shared context. Connected agents can retrieve company facts from the same service.
• Source links. Review the evidence attached to a fact before using it for a decision.
• Write permissions. Decide which agents may add or correct knowledge.
• Pilot checks. Test retrieval, corrections, access boundaries, and retention with your own data.
