With chat agent mode in Visual Studio Code, you can use natural language to define a high-level task and to start an agentic code editing session to accomplish that task. In agent mode, Copilot autonomously plans the work needed and determines the relevant files and context. It then makes edits to your codebase and invokes tools to accomplish the request you made. Agent mode monitors the outcome o

April 7th, 2025 by Isidor Nikolic Agent mode is rolling out to all VS Code users! The agent acts as an autonomous pair programmer that performs multi-step coding tasks at your command, such as analyzing your codebase, proposing file edits, and running terminal commands. It responds to compile and lint errors, monitors terminal output, and auto-corrects in a loop until the task is completed. The ag

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that enables AI models to interact with external tools and services through a unified interface. In VS Code, MCP support enhances GitHub Copilot's agent mode by allowing you to connect any MCP-compatible server to your agentic coding workflow. This article guides you through setting up MCP servers and using tools with agent mode in Visual Studio Cod

To ask questions in chat about your entire codebase, you can reference @workspace or #codebase in your chat prompt. Based on the question, chat intelligently retrieves relevant files and symbols, which it then references in its answer as links and code examples. What is the difference between @workspace and #codebase? Conceptually, both @workspace and #codebase enable you to ask questions about yo

You can build language model prompts by using string concatenation, but it's hard to compose features and make sure your prompts stay within the context window of language models. To overcome these limitations, you can use the @vscode/prompt-tsx library. The @vscode/prompt-tsx library provides the following features: TSX-based prompt rendering: Compose prompts using TSX components, making them mor

Chat in Visual Studio Code can give you responses and generate code that matches your coding practices and project requirements, if you give it the right context. Instead of repeatedly adding this information in every chat prompt, you can store this context in files and automatically include it in every chat request. In this article, you learn how to use custom instructions and prompt files to cus

November 12th, 2024 by Isidor Nikolic Until recently, you could use GitHub Copilot in VS Code in two separate ways. You could modify code inside the editor using completions or Inline Chat. Or you could use Copilot to ask questions about your code in the Chat view. Copilot Edits, a preview feature, is a brand new way of using Copilot in VS Code. It combines the best of Chat and Inline Chat: the co

With chat edit mode in Visual Studio Code, you can use natural language to make edits across multiple files in your project. The edits are applied directly in the editor, where you can review them in-place, with the full context of the surrounding code. By selecting specific files and providing clear context, you can guide edit mode to make targeted code changes and improvements. Prerequisites Ins
