Question: How to use agent files in Visual Studio Professional #668
Description
Hey.
How can I easely use skills/agents in Visual studio (NOT vs code) ?
The ui chatbos in vscode is very elegant and lets me select agents.
I'd assume microsoft teams that work on VS code would talk to the developers of Visual Studio ...
It seems the tooling on using agents is very different between vs code and visual studio. I can only assume its even worse with rider and other more or less well-known IDE's.
I suggest that
a) mcp server takes in which IDE you're using and downloads/installs relevant files (prompts, instructions etc.) based on that.
- Downside --> MCP has to constantly try to stay up to date with how IDE's work with LLM's and hwo the tooling in the IDE is set up.
or b) configuration for where skills/prompts/agents/instructions are put as part of args when configuring the mcp server
Theres probably other options, but the tooling right now is good in VS code, but poor in visual studio.
