Build your agent setuphttps://code.visualstudio.com/docs/agent-customization/overview
Add your project standards Add your coding conventions, architecture decisions, and file-specific guidance once. Agents apply them without being told again in each prompt. https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/agent-customization/custom-instructions
Waste fewer turns Clear instructions and saved steps cut repeated context and rework. More of each run goes to the task instead of getting the agent oriented. https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/agents/guides/optimize-usage
Reuse the steps that work Save a process you repeat as an agent skill. The next time the task comes up, the agent follows the same steps without you walking through them again. https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/agent-customization/agent-skills
Add specialized agents, tools, and checks Create custom agents for focused roles, connect external tools and data through MCP servers, and use hooks to run checks automatically. https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/agents/concepts/customization
Share customizations with pluginshttps://code.visualstudio.com/docs/agent-customization/agent-plugins
Explore Agent Debug Logshttps://code.visualstudio.com/docs/agents/agent-troubleshooting/chat-debug-view
Agent skills Save a repeatable process along with the scripts, templates, and resources an agent needs to carry it out. https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/agent-customization/agent-skills
Custom agents Create a specialized role with its own instructions, tools, and language model. https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/agent-customization/custom-agents
MCP servers Let agents use external tools and data through an open standard. https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/agent-customization/mcp-servers
Hooks Run a command or check automatically at a specific point in an agent's work. https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/agent-customization/hooks
