dropPod — Agent Team Builder for VS Code

Build a Copilot agent team for your project by browsing 100+ community agents from github/awesome-copilot, defining handover flows between them, and generating ready‑to‑use .agent.md files.

Features

  • Agent Catalog — Browse 100+ curated agents from the awesome-copilot agents/ directory, organized by category (Azure, Testing, .NET, DevOps, Frontend, AI, and more).
  • Team Assembly — Pick the agents you need and add them to your team. State persists across sessions.
  • Workflow Editor — Define handover chains between agents with optional approval gates. Drag to reorder. Set handover prompts describing what context to pass along.
  • File Generation — One click to generate .agent.md files and a copilot-instructions.md orchestrator into your .github/agents/ directory.

Getting Started

1. Open the dropPod sidebar

Click the rocket icon in the Activity Bar (left sidebar). You'll see two panels:

  • Agent Catalog — all available agents grouped by category
  • My Team — your selected agents (empty at first)

2. Browse and add agents

Expand categories in the catalog to see agents. Click the + button on any agent to add it to your team. Agents already on your team show a ✓ checkmark.

3. Define handovers

Click the workflow icon (⚡) in the My Team title bar to open the Workflow Editor. Here you can:

  • Drag cards to reorder your agents
  • Click + Add Handover to define a handoff from one agent to another
  • Set a handover prompt (the context/instructions passed when handing off)
  • Toggle the 🔒 Requires Approval checkbox for gates that need human sign-off

4. Generate agent files

Click the Generate button (file icon) in the My Team title bar, or use the button in the Workflow Editor. This writes:

  • One .agent.md file per agent into .github/agents/
  • A copilot-instructions.md orchestrator describing the team workflow

5. Use your agents

The generated files work with VS Code Copilot Chat (1.106+). Invoke agents with @agent-name in chat. Handoffs defined in frontmatter let agents delegate to each other automatically.
