What is Visual Studio Code?

Visual Studio Code is an open-source code editor that supports editing, debugging, and multi-agent development. It provides built-in tools including an integrated terminal, version control, build tasks, local history, and accessibility settings. Users can write code across major programming languages using built-in support and over 80,000 marketplace extensions. VS Code operates on desktop platforms and in the browser via vscode.dev, with options to configure custom themes, synchronize settings across instances, and manage autonomous AI agent workflows using different models and provider endpoints.
