The Art of Simplicity

VS Code 1.110 introduces the Agent Debug Log panel for GitHub Copilot agent mode, providing a structured, human-readable trace of agent sessions. The panel offers three views: a chronological Logs view with expandable events, a Summary view with aggregate stats (token usage, tool calls, errors), and an Agent Flow Chart for visualizing complex orchestrations. Sessions can be exported as OpenTelemetry OTLP JSON for team sharing or offline analysis. A built-in /troubleshoot skill can analyze exported logs to explain why tools were skipped, why instructions failed to load, or what caused slow responses. The feature is off by default and must be enabled via the github.copilot.chat.agentDebugLog.enabled setting.
