## Summary

GitHub announces three GitHub intelligence capabilities for Copilot: Memory, now generally available on paid Copilot plans, carries preferences and repository conventions across sessions and clients. Dreaming, in public preview, reflects on past work to update memories, skills, and instructions, and code search lets Copilot find relevant code across repositories without a local clone. The post says Copilot CLI sessions showed better adherence to developer preferences in 93% of reviewed cases and more efficient workflows in 42%.

## Why it matters

The post shows how memory, dreaming, and cross-repository code search are combined, which helps readers judge what context Copilot agents can actually retain and reach.
