CopilotPixel - Pixel Office for Copilot

CopilotPixel is an interactive, retro pixel art virtual office for Visual Studio Code that brings your AI coding sessions to life. It visualizes the real-time activity, tool execution, background subagents, teammate delegation, and permissions of GitHub Copilot (CLI & agent runtime) and Google Antigravity agents inside a customizable office environment.

🌟 Key Features

• 🏢 Interactive Virtual Office: Watch AI agents walk across the office, sit at assigned desks, collaborate, and type as they process code, run commands, or edit files.
• 🤖 Multi-Agent & Runtime Support: Built-in support for GitHub Copilot CLI and Google Antigravity agent sessions, automatically detecting lead agents and subagents.
• 🎨 Customizable Layouts & Furniture: Rearrange desks, chairs, PCs, plants, whiteboards, sofas, walls, and carpets with an intuitive in-editor layout tool.
• 🐾 Office Pets: Adopt playful office pets that wander around, including the new HD Mimi pet and PixelCat.
• 🔒 Privacy & Local-First: Zero telemetry sent to external servers. All session discovery, hooks, and communication occur locally on loopback (127.0.0.1) with consent-gated execution.
• 🌐 Integrated & Standalone: Use it embedded as a VS Code webview panel or standalone in your preferred web browser via the local server.
