| The Copilot Coding Agent integration in Visual Studio Code is currently in preview, but as with everything we do, we do it all in the open and you can use it all today. If you want to light all of this up in your editor, all you need to do is make sure you have the GitHub Pull Requests extension installed and add the following settings... |

I think we need to list 5 things that are coming to make this paragraph interesting

We should also mention the vision how we want to change the interaction with the coding agent in VS Code (if we plan to do that in July/August)

I would recommend linking to our GH Coding Agent July iteration plan: microsoft/vscode#255483, and including the high-level bullets from it directly in the blog (PR performance and rendering, bringing in the Copilot Agents command center already present on GitHub.com into VS Code, integrated chat view for Coding Agent sessions, sharing custom instructions between the Coding Agent and VS Code, and further documentation).

made some tweaks to this section, would love feedback!

| In this screenshot, the agent implemented a trending section complete with UI and database changes. All of this is one interaction so it's only one premium request. | ||

I would add a paragraph that covers how the VS Code team is dog-fooding on the coding agent. And would link to all the PRs that the coding agent has done - and this is increasing every milestone.

I didn't find a way to filter PRs by copilot from the Pull Request page but this is a search link that lists all PRs for vscode repo https://github.com/search?q=is%3Apr+head%3Acopilot%2F+repo%3Amicrosoft%2Fvscode&type=pullrequests

| There’s a new **Copilot on My Behalf** query in the Pull Requests view. This shows you everything Copilot is working on for you. Want to see exactly what the agent did? Click "View Session" and watch the play-by-play. You get full transparency into every command and decision. You can also terminate the agent - all without leaving the editor. | ||

Looking at the image, it might look more polished if you dimmed out most of the screen and made cut-outs. Let me know if you want a hand with this.

Yeah - could use all the help i can get!

| The coding agent then opens a PR and goes directly to work - skipping the issue step entirely. It distills down the context into a detailed PR description and you'll see that Copilot Coding Agent makes use of todo lists so that you can see what its doing and where it is in the process at a glance. | ||

Frame-rate on this GIF feels off - maybe worth re-recording somehow or with different software?

Yeah - I can fix this

| Instead of only having one agent in VS Code, you can now have multiple agents running at once working on your behalf. This is _actually_ being a 10x developer. It's officially a a thing. You get to hand off any work you need done to to a squad of AI teammates. | ||

| In this post, we'll take a look at what the coding agent is, give you an exclusive preview of the integrations coming to VS Code and even tell you how you can start using them today. |

To help differentiate GitHub's Coding Agent vs VS Code agent mode, I'd suggest we capitalize instances of Coding Agent:

I made these changes - but I do think it's a bit confusing that we use different capitalization than what GitHub does, seems we should stay consistent across products

Good feedback. I think for this post, using the capitalization you've now added consistently is fine, and then we can revisit in future docs.

| As with every VS Code feature, the VS Code team itself uses the Coding Agent integration in their own development. In fact, you can see just how many PRs have been assigned [to Copilot Coding Agent in the VS Code repo](https://github.com/search?q=is%3Apr+head%3Acopilot%2F+repo%3Amicrosoft%2Fvscode&type=pullrequests) - and that number continues to increase. |

@isidorn @rebornix @bamurtaugh I added the dogfooding section here instead as I think it fits better, would love feedback
