The aimock-parity paragraph and the Rollback section still described contributors hand-editing both package.json and CHANGELOG.md. That was stale — the vscode-extension-changelog-sync.yml workflow auto-syncs package.json.version (and optionally package.json.description) from the CHANGELOG entry (and README first paragraph) when the PR is opened and commits 'chore: release vX.Y.Z' on the PR branch. Rewrite both passages so the documented flow matches reality: contributor edits CHANGELOG.md only (optionally README.md), sync workflow handles the package.json bump automatically, publish workflow self-gates via vsce show and ships on merge to main.
CopilotKit for VS Code
Preview generative-UI components, explore CopilotKit hooks, and inspect AG-UI agent runs — all without leaving your editor.
Features
The extension adds a CopilotKit container to the activity bar with three panels:
A2UI Catalog Preview
Live-preview A2UI catalog components from your workspace. Pick a component and a fixture, and see it rendered with hot-reload on edits. Fixture files (*.fixture.*) are validated in-editor against the component's registered schema, with diagnostics reported inline.
Hook Explorer (Generative UI)
Scans your workspace for useCopilotAction, useCoAgent, and related CopilotKit hooks, then renders each hook's generative UI — including in-progress and completed states — so you can iterate on agent UIs without running the full agent loop. Jump-to-source and copy-identity actions are available from the sidebar.
AG-UI Inspector
Attach to any AG-UI-compliant agent stream (e.g. a local CopilotKit runtime) and inspect the event timeline in real time: tool calls, message deltas, state patches, and lifecycle events — with payload drill-down for each event.
Requirements
- VS Code
1.85.0or newer - A workspace containing CopilotKit components, hooks, or an AG-UI runtime to inspect
