GitHub's October 28 Universe changelog summarizes new Copilot capabilities in VS Code, including a way to connect custom clients to shared agent-host sessions and browse agent customizations.
Highlights for developers
- The Agent Host Protocol lets compatible clients stay synchronized with sessions and catch up after reconnecting.
- A customization marketplace gathers skills, MCP servers, plugins, and related setup in the Agents window.
- Copilot connectors can bring context from supported services, while computer use remains an experimental capability with approval and organization controls.
The release also describes enterprise policies for plugin sources and settings. Preview and experimental labels matter: availability and behavior can change, and administrators may disable these features.
