VS Code

Visual Studio Code is an open source AI code editor that supports building with AI agents to plan, code, and debug. It is designed for developers who manage multi-agent workflows across environments on Linux, macOS, and Windows. The editor integrates AI-assisted capabilities into a traditional code editing experience and emphasizes openness and extensibility.

The tool provides a foundation for agents to work within the editor, across prompts, and alongside code to help with tasks like planning, execution, and verification. It enables teams to organize work across environments and stay within a single development surface.

Users access features and extensions to tailor AI usage to their workflow, including instructions, tools, and external data connections. It also highlights enterprise considerations, extension management, and compatibility with various setups.

Documentation and community resources describe how to install, configure, and use VS Code, including AI features that can be disabled or enabled and how Copilot integrates with the editor.
