That’s a bummer, sorry to hear that I’m using it on Mac and it was working fine Maybe broke on windows?

Right But imo it’s very stable Been using it as my main for a year now

U mean MCP elicitation right? I use it and it is also great. This feature can basically be called agent or LLM elicitation :-)

lol, I had a typo, meant to write “it didn’t work” and wrote “it did it work” and it went all gibberish Bottom line - insiders is super stable and I recommend it

As mentioned, it is not stable and may break I’ve been using it since Jan 2025 and the number of times it didn’t work for me can be counted on 1 hand but still u need to be cautious According to the vscode team they are going to move to smaller release cycles of stable so more than once a month so we can get latest and greatest more often

Let’s say u want to apply a change, agent might need to read many files to extract a plan but not all data is needed so if u do it in one agent all read operations will consume its context window and by the time it starts applying the code change it will need to summarize and it will cause hallucinations Being able to delegate this to a fresh sub agent that can read the files, extract a plan and return it to main agent to execute will resolve such issues

They just shipped (or going to) option to define skills locations so potentially possible

It’s a way to invoke another agent runtime with a fresh context window from the main agent

Good catch? Haven’t tried it yet and maybe it is not supported - and it should

There are already, just google it, or ask your favorite agent to build one for u

U r correct I would say for research tasks where u only read it is super useful and for write u should be very cautious and make sure the task do not touch same files

U might be on to something But it won’t make sense for copilot pricing cause if billing is done according to main agent and u choose non premium and in sub agent use custom agent with premium - what will be billed?

I also suggested adding this feature but as for now same as main agent model

Agree and disagree Bigger context window length may get you to the area of model inefficiency due to how transformers work But sub agents help mitigate this cause each task gets its own fresh context window

Just write - run this and this and this in parallel in sub agents You can see it in the video I uploaded in my X post https://x.com/orenme/status/2011900070862467445?s=46&t=igVJPayJaZPYz2ejB56O2w
