We have added documentation for the code security risk assessment (CSRA), a free self-serve tool that helps organization admins and security managers understand their organization's exposure to code vulnerabilities.

New content includes:

*[Code security risk assessment](https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/concepts/code-scanning/code-security-risk-assessment): What the CSRA is, who can run it, what it scans, and how it relates to the secret risk assessment.

+
*[Running a code security risk assessment](https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/how-tos/secure-at-scale/configure-organization-security/configure-specific-tools/assess-your-vulnerability-risk): How to generate and rerun a CSRA report.
10
+
*[Interpreting code security risk assessment results](https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/tutorials/secure-your-organization/interpreting-code-security-risk-assessment-results): How to read the results dashboard, understand vulnerability and rule breakdowns, and enable Code Security directly from the assessment.

We've published documentation for the GitHub Copilot SDK, now available in public preview. These docs were migrated from the `github/copilot-sdk` repo and cover getting started, setup, authentication, usage patterns, hooks, observability, integrations, and troubleshooting.

We've expanded the documentation for custom agents in Copilot CLI, adding information about the built-in agents.
The documentation for Copilot CLI now includes a new reference article about the `~/.copilot` directory, and information on how a Copilot skill can run a script:

We've introduced a new discovery landing page design for all the top-level doc sets on docs.github.com. The landing pages highlight recommended articles and give users the ability to filter articles by category with a drop down menu. Every article across the site now includes category metadata, making it easier to browse doc sets without relying solely on search. This replaces the previous product-landing layout across 35 doc sets.

Historically, keeping Copilot feature and IDE availability up to date has required manual coordination with the Docs team, which does not scale well with the increasing number of features. The goal of this document and its process is to enable product owners to directly maintain the Copilot feature and IDE availability information as part of their normal release workflow. The feature matrix provides a single, easy to update source of truth.
