Visual Studio Code features Reynald Adolphe demonstrating how to create and use Custom Agents in VS Code (Agent Mode) so GitHub Copilot can take on specialized roles—like a security reviewer—using your project context, tools, and workflow to produce more focused results.

Visual Studio Code features Reynald Adolphe explaining how Agent Skills in VS Code package instructions, scripts, and resources into reusable workflows, with a quick demo of creating and modifying a skill to automate multi-step tasks like updating docs and generating prompts.

Visual Studio Code features Reynald Adolphe using GitHub Copilot in VS Code to explain and compare customization features—Custom Instructions, Prompt Files, Agent Skills, Custom Agents, and Hooks—plus ways to learn them via charts, quizzes, and scenario-based references.

Visual Studio Code features Reynald Adolphe explaining GitHub Copilot Hooks in VS Code: how to run commands automatically at specific lifecycle events during an agent session to keep formatting, validations, and scripts consistent without manual steps.

Visual Studio Code shows how to use Prompt Files in VS Code to stop rewriting the same GitHub Copilot instructions, making repeatable workflows (like quizzing open files or simplifying code) easier to run and share across projects and teams.

Visual Studio Code features Reynald Adolphe explaining how GitHub Copilot Custom Instructions in VS Code work in practice, showing how to create reusable “rulebooks” that steer Copilot toward your coding standards, conventions, and preferences (including SOLID and accessibility) without repeating guidance every time.

Visual Studio Code shows how to customize AI in VS Code using agent-based building blocks—agents, skills, instructions, prompt files, and hooks—so teams can reuse prompts, enforce standards, and streamline common development tasks.

Visual Studio Code shows Reynald building a “Repo Analyzer” app in VS Code using GitHub Copilot customization features—Prompt Files, Custom Instructions, Agent Skills, Custom Agents, and Hooks—to enforce repo standards, update docs, and streamline coding tasks in one workflow.

Microsoft Developer shares John Maeda’s SXSW tip on using a “tuned harness” to keep AI models on track, from prompting through tool calling, and points to tools like GitHub Copilot CLI (and the Copilot SDK) to help turn interesting outputs into something reliably useful.

Microsoft Developer shows how the latest SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) release lets you use GitHub Copilot Chat against the results pane—asking questions about execution plans, the Messages tab, and the results grid directly from the chat window.
