Visual Studio Code unifies UI for managing coding agents
"Also featured as part of Agent HQ is a new plan agent that breaks down complex tasks step-by-step before any code is written. Selecting Plan from the agents dropdown in the Chat view gets this started. When tackling a multi-step implementation, VS Code prompts the user with clarifying questions and generates a detailed implementation plan to be approved first, ensuring all requirements and context are captured up front."
"Visual Studio Code 1.106 also features updates to cloud agent sessions in the editor. The Copilot coding agent integration has been migrated from the GitHub Pull Request extension into the Copilot Chat extension to provide a more native cloud agent experience in VS Code. The release also includes an initial integration with the Copilot CLI. Users can create new sessions and resume existing CLI agent sessions in a chat editor or an integrated terminal."
A new plan agent in Agent HQ breaks down complex tasks step-by-step before code is written and prompts clarifying questions to generate a detailed implementation plan that must be approved, capturing requirements and context up front. Developers can create custom plan agents tailored to team workflows and tools. Copilot coding agent integration moved from the GitHub Pull Request extension into the Copilot Chat extension to provide a more native cloud agent experience, and initial Copilot CLI integration enables creating and resuming CLI agent sessions in chat editors or integrated terminals. Deleted lines in the diff editor are now selectable and copyable in inline view. The Go to Line command supports navigating to specific character positions using :: syntax.
