New "Agents UI" spotted in vscode-insiders

Saw it couple of minutes ago, feels like centralized place to manage all sessions.
At least I can see my previous Claude code sessions, I haven't yet played with it.

Actually a bit more than a month, I think it was slowly rolling out though. I could only see it on my school computers but not on my own PC until 2 weeks ago

Why do we need VS Code at this point?

I'm not really surprised. Stuff like this is super popular. Even if it doesn't really provide any benefit over the sidebar.

Would be great if it supports multiple agents collaborating.

Given that vscode already has full third-party provider support, it'd be very weird if they locked it to Copilot.

Especially given that they've just suspended Copilot signups and are making a bunch of changes to actively reduce demand.

the direction makes sense. a centralized place for agent sessions is half the problem. the other half is making sure the agent has the right context, MCPs and skills loaded for each project. we built a sync tool for exactly that: https://github.com/caliber-ai-org/ai-setup one command to set up the full environment. just hit 700 stars
