Focus on agents, still working on framing

# Agent sessions, A planning agent and OpenAI Codex Integration: A Universe Recap

VS Code releases 11 times a year. That's a release every _single_ month. And all of those releases culminate each year with our announcements at GitHub Universe. Last year, we announced that Claude was being added to Copilot and a new chat mode called "Edits" that would both answer your chat questions AND write code. What a time to be alive!

I tightened this up and removed a lot of this verbiage

Agents took over VS Code in 2025. We released the [GitHub Copilot agent](https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_105#_vs-code-at-github-universe), integration for the [Copilot Coding Agent (cloud)](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/copilot/copilot-coding-agent), and the new [GitHub Copilot CLI](https://github.com/features/copilot/cli/). But Copilot is just the start - there are now more coding agents than ever, and most don't even have "Copilot" in the name.

With all these choices, things got better - and a little more fragmented. Subscription hopping, tool juggling, and FOMO became the norm. This year at GitHub Universe, we set out to fix that with a unified agent experience in VS Code. Now you can switch between agents - local or cloud - and manage them all from one place.
