Support for agents?

[bendavis78]

Microsoft added support for "agents" in vscode in their Nov 30th update last year.

Arguably the most valuable feature here is the @workspace agent, which allows copilot to search the current workspace:

@workspace: This agent has knowledge about the code in your workspace and can help you navigate it by finding relevant files or classes. The @workspace agent uses a meta prompt to determine what information to collect from the workspace to help answer your question.

Are there any plans to add support for this in CopilotChat.nvim?

That's on open issue and we have NOT implemented yet #5

From what I understand, @workspace just takes all your code, embeds it, and uses cosine similarity to send relevant code snippets. @deathbeam seems to have already implemented something similar in https://github.com/CopilotC-Nvim/CopilotChat.nvim/blob/canary/lua/CopilotChat/context.lua

It's hard to replicate their system exactly as their javascript is completely obfuscated while also using WASM in a bunch of places.

I wonder if @github has any plans to bring Copilot Chat to vim at some point considering copilot.vim is still actively maintained.
