When you assign an issue to Copilot or open the **Agents** panel in VS Code, these configurations let you swap in a specialized assistant. Each agent in this repo lives under `agents/` and includes metadata about the tools it depends on.
In products that support delegation, a primary agent can also launch temporary subagents for focused work such as planning, research, or review. See [Agents and Subagents](../agents-and-subagents/) for the coordination model.
### When to reach for an agent
- You have a recurring workflow that benefits from deep tooling integrations.
- You want Copilot to proactively execute commands or fetch context via MCP.
- You need persona-level guardrails that persist throughout a coding session.
- You want a coordinator that can delegate narrower work to subagents.
