Multicoder Agent
Extends GitHub Copilot Chat with a structured approach for writing better code
The extension operates as a chat participant add-on to GitHub Copilot Chat. Type @ in the chat input and select @multicoder from the participants list. Why you should use this extensionGetting good results from LLM code generation requires telling the model exactly what you need. Starting with a detailed prompt that specifies all requirements takes significant time and effort, which is why many developers skip this crucial step. Multicoder Agent simplifies this process - start with a basic request and let the agent gather all necessary details to create a comprehensive requirements specification. You can then edit the draft or guide the agent on needed improvements. Next, the agent designs the solution and lets you review and adjust it until it matches your vision. After the planning phase, once you're satisfied with the plan, you can let the agent write all the code. How it worksMulticoder Agent requires the GitHub Copilot Chat extension (free plan supported). By default, it uses LLMs provided by Copilot, but you can bypass the built-in models and use your own keys to send requests directly to core providers (OpenAI, Anthropic - BYOK). Forward your request to Multicoder Agent by selecting @multicoder from the Copilot chat participants list. ConfigurationThe extension works out of the box using Copilot models.
