VS Code 1.107 introduces multi-agent orchestration, allowing you to use GitHub Copilot and custom agents together to accelerate and parallelize development.
Highlights
- Agent HQ: Manage all your agents in one place, letting Copilot and custom agents collaborate across tasks.
- Background Agents: Run isolated workspaces without interfering with your active work, enabling multiple background tasks at once.
- Delegation: Assign tasks across local, background, or cloud agents to keep your workflow moving uninterrupted.
Agents
- Manage agents from chat
- Share agents across your organization
- Keep agents active while chat is closed
- Move agent sessions from local to cloud
- Run agents in dedicated Git worktrees
- Attach context to background agents
- Customize background agents
- Reuse custom agents across environments
- Run custom subagents
- Reuse Claude skills
Integrating Agent Sessions and Chat
Agents can run locally, in the background, or in the cloud. The chat interface now provides a unified experience for agent sessions, showing status, progress, and file change statistics.
- Archive/unarchive sessions to keep them manageable.
- Workspace sessions only show related sessions.
- Open sessions in Chat view, editor tab, or new window.
- Compact view shows recent sessions, with the ability to toggle side-by-side view.
- Filter sessions by provider or state.
Local and Background Agents
- Local agents now continue running in the background even when chat is closed.
- Tasks can be handed off to background or cloud agents seamlessly.
- Background agents can run in isolated Git worktrees to avoid conflicts.
- Context can be attached to background agents for richer prompts.
Custom Agents
- Share custom agents across GitHub organizations (experimental).
- Bring custom agents into background agents (experimental).
- Agents can delegate tasks to subagents (experimental).
