🤖✨ Visual Studio just got a whole squad of agents — and they’re not your average “chatbot.” 🕵️♀️ Debugger Agent → reads your call stacks + diagnostics like a pro ⚡ Profiler Agent → hunts bottlenecks using real VS profiling data 🧪 Test Agent → generates tests that match YOUR project’s patterns 🛠️ Modernize Agent → upgrades .NET/C++ projects with awareness of your graph And the best part? 🧩 You can build your own custom agents — wired into your repos, docs, APIs, design systems, and more. Teams are already crafting: • PR reviewers tied to their style guides • Design‑system enforcers linked to Figma • Planning agents that gather requirements before you write a line of code Dive into how it all works + how to start building your own 👇 https://lnkd.in/gVrMykHa
