Version Installs Ratings

VS Code Agent Manager is the essential toolkit for supercharging your GitHub Copilot experience. Effortlessly discover, install, and manage custom Copilot Agents directly within VS Code.

Note: This extension is designed to work with GitHub Copilot Chat.


🚀 Features

🔍 Auto-Discovery

Stop manually hunting for agent configurations. Point the Agent Manager to any GitHub repository (like the popular awesome-copilot lists), and it will automatically index all available agents.

📦 One-Click Installation

Install agents in seconds. Choose to install them globally (User Profile) for access in all projects, or locally (Workspace) for project-specific needs.

🔄 Smart Updates & Version Control

Stay up to date. The extension tracks installed versions against the remote source, alerting you when updates are available. View changelogs and author details at a glance.

🛡️ Git-Powered Reliability

Built on top of Git, ensuring that you always get the exact version of the agent you expect, with verified author and commit data.


📖 Usage

1. Discover Agents

Open the Agent Manager view by clicking the robot icon in the Activity Bar. The list will automatically populate with agents from the default repository.

2. View Details

Click on any agent to see its description, author, tags, and version history in a dedicated details panel.

3. Install

Click the Install button in the details panel or the download icon in the list.

  • Workspace Install: Saves to .github/agents in your current folder.
  • User Install: Saves to your global VS Code prompts directory.
