A Unified Agent Experience
summary
A single VS Code workflow unifies local, background, and cloud agents so you can run multiple sessions concurrently, delegate a task to the GitHub Copilot cloud agent that opens a pull request, or keep work isolated by creates a work tree for background jobs. It demonstrates plan mode synthesizing a five‑step plan from a GitHub issue, an MCP server that consults Apple developer docs, and an example change of 217 lines of code that builds and runs in the iOS simulator and switches units to kilometers.
