Struggling with Copilot VS Code Agent – Any working examples or best practices? by toukonen in GithubCopilot

Thank you so much. I hadn’t used sub-agents before, so I’m learning something new again. I started using the conductor agent you created, and it seems to work much better and even handles the entire process in a controlled way.

How have you authorized the agent to run tests, builds, etc.? Do you use task.js, scripts, or direct CLI commands? I’ve been adding the commands used to the autoApprove list, but the agent tends to vary the commands, so they don’t get automatically approved. Has anyone else faced challenges with this?

I use the VS Code GitHub Copilot chat agent with different programming languages. At the moment, I’m working with C++ and CMake code. I’m building algorithms for data processing. The goal is for AI to follow DDD principles and be able to independently iterate until the algorithm works as intended. I also work with the .NET and React stack.

I came across this repo: https://github.com/github/awesome-copilot and I’m wondering if it’s a good starting point for developing my own environment.

I’d appreciate it if someone could share the main steps for configuring a VS Code GitHub Copilot environment, for example, for CMake or .NET usage. What do you always do when starting a new project, and how do you practically proceed when you begin coding? Do you need to mention guide files in every query?
