Settings > Chat > Agent: Max Requests

The default is 15. Bump it up and let the agent cook.

Copilot coming in clutch. I was 3 seconds away from setting the whole porch on fire.

Agent mode in @code can now Just Do Things™.

Settings > Chat > Tools : Auto Approve

Copilot is like, "i got this bro. you've got better things to do."

Agent mode is incredible. Scans your project for the correct files, checks its own output for errors, can execute terminal commands and even self-heal from runtime errors.

The future is 🔥
