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).

Didn't get to read the full thing but don't want to forget by tomorrow.


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.

I just gave it another readthrough and it's feeling much more solid. I have a few nits I think would be worth addressing, but otherwise I think we're in a pretty good spot with this.
