VS Code Agent Host Makes Coding Sessions Less Tied To One Window

Intro

VS Code 1.134 moves agent sessions toward a dedicated Agent Host process, making long-running coding work easier to share, resume, and run near the workspace.

Takeaways

  • VS Code 1.134 adds visible workflow improvements for agent-heavy work: side-by-side chat groups, a prompt timeline, find in chat, and better layout behavior for session details.
  • The old mental model for coding assistants was simple: open a chat, ask a question, get an answer, maybe apply a patch.
  • The Agent Host Protocol site describes the pattern as one host between many clients and many agents.
  • The useful direction is not just “agents in the editor.” It is portable session state.
