Give your coding agent a custom UI. This is an experimental Copilot CLI plugin that teaches the agent how to author extensions for itself that can display arbitrary web UI.
Use this to:
- Enable the agent to create architecture diagrams, visualize plans, or explain how other people's PRs work
- Add interactive UI to the coding agent so you can trigger custom actions in your application (e.g., logging in, loading test data, deploying to staging, etc.)
- Keep track of what the agent is doing
/plugin install SteveSandersonMS/copilot-webview-creator
Then just ask Copilot to build an extension with a UI. Examples:
Use webview creator skill to create an extension that opens a dashboard window showing my open PRs.
/copilot-webview-creator Create an extension that shows arbitrary web content with a tool set_html you can use to set content into it
Now draw an architecture diagram of PR #1234 in the webview
