With multi-agent support in VS Code, you can work on multiple tasks in parallel - no more waiting for one to finish before starting the next. In this video, we'll show you how to run agents side by side to tackle tasks like implementing color themes, adding storage functionality, and creating documentation, all at the same time.

Visual Studio Code is a lightweight and powerful code editor developed by Microsoft, offering built-in support for multiple programming languages, debugging, and extensions. From this resource developers can learn about VSCode's features, extensions, and customization options to enhance their coding productivity and workflow.

VS Code supports running multiple GitHub Copilot agent sessions simultaneously, each using a different AI model, to tackle parallel tasks without code conflicts. A practical walkthrough demonstrates launching three concurrent sessions on a log analyzer project: one using Claude Sonnet for color scheme additions, one using Claude Opus in plan mode for backend file storage architecture, and one using GPT for documentation generation. Tips include avoiding overlapping codebase areas across sessions, using git worktrees to prevent branch conflicts, and enabling autopilot mode to minimize manual approvals while sessions run unattended.
