"Microsoft is offering a Microsoft Copilot Studio extension for its Visual Studio Code editor, enabling developers to build and manage Copilot Studio agents from VS Code. Launched January 14, the extension can be accessed from the Visual Studio Marketplace. The extension is intended to make it possible to develop AI agents in a familiar editor, with source control, and with AI help when wanted, according to Microsoft."
"Developers can use GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, or any VS Code AI assistant to draft new topics, update tools, and quickly fix issues in an agent definition, then sync changes back to Copilot Studio to test and iterate. Microsoft has designed the agent for the way developers work, with support for standard Git integration for versioning and collaboration, pull request-based reviews, and auditability over time, with a history of modifications."
"The tool provides language support, IntelliSense code suggestions and completions, and authoring capabilities for Copilot Studio agent components. Microsoft explained that as agents grow beyond a few topics and prompts, teams need the same development "hygiene" used for apps: source control, pull requests, change history, and repeatable deployments. The VS Code extension brings this workflow to Copilot Studio so developers can collaborate without losing velocity or governance, the company said."
The Copilot Studio extension for Visual Studio Code, launched January 14 on the Visual Studio Marketplace, enables developers to build and manage Copilot Studio agents directly in VS Code. The extension provides language support, IntelliSense suggestions and completions, and authoring capabilities for agent components. The tool integrates with common AI assistants such as GitHub Copilot and Claude Code to draft topics, update tools, and fix issues before syncing changes back to Copilot Studio. The extension supports standard Git versioning, pull request reviews, change history, repeatable deployments, keyboard shortcuts, search, navigation, and a local development loop for collaboration and auditability.
