Important
This repo has been archived because there are newer and better options available. I originally built this to quickly scaffold samples in the very early days of the Chat extension for VS Code. This repo is probably only useful now as a historical reference (if even that).
This project provides development tools for creating GitHub Copilot extensions for Visual Studio Code.
From a command prompt or VS Code terminal window, create a new empty directory to hold your project. For example:
mkdir myagent
cd ./myagent
Launch the scaffolder from the npm package manager:
npm exec jonlester/vscode-copilot-dev
Once the project setup completes, launch VS Code with your new folder as the workspace:
code .
Try out your new chat agent by opening the VS Code debugging panel, and starting the "Run Extension" launch configuration:
A new VS Code window will launch, and after a moment you'll see your new agent available in Copilot Chat:
You can start customizing your chat agent by adding your code to the generated extension.ts file, located in the src folder.
Tip: Take a look at this chat agent sample to help get you started.
