🛠️ Agent Mode — What It Actually Does Now

  • Terminal execution — runs npm install, pytest, dotnet build and reads output
  • Self-correction loop — if tests fail, it reads the error and tries again automatically
  • Multi-file editing — plans which files to touch, edits them in sequence
  • MCP tool integration — connects to databases, Jira, Figma, and custom tools
  • Custom agents — define specialised agent personas in .github/agents/

💡 How to Enable Right Now

VS Code → Copilot Chat panel → dropdown next to the input → switch from "Ask" to "Agent". Requires Copilot Pro+ or Business plan.
