vscdeck: overwatch panel for multiple VS Code Copilot sessions
Brand-new Microsoft open-source utility: a Windows-only C#/WPF floating panel showing live state of multiple VS Code GitHub Copilot agent-host sessions.
Why it matters
Mission-control view for parallel Copilot agents: color-coded idle/running/done/waiting-permission states across VS Code windows (including dev containers over Docker/SSH) without installing anything in the editor.
What you could build with it
A developer running several Copilot-assisted VS Code sessions in parallel could park the floating panel on a second monitor and spot at a glance which agent is waiting on a permission or has finished. The result: less context-switching between windows when pair-programming with multiple AI coding agents.
Does it hold up?
Too early to judge - created 2026-10-14, 1 star, no releases, and it reads undocumented Copilot session files, so it may break with VS Code updates; treat as an early utility, not a supported product.
