By default, subagents do not keep spawning additional subagents. In VS Code, recursive delegation is controlled by the `chat.subagents.allowInvocationsFromSubagents` setting, which is off by default.
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Monitor subagent progress *(VS Code 1.131+)*
|
||||
|
||||
VS Code 1.131 added improved subagent visibility directly in the chat interface. While a subagent is active, you can see:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Model**: which AI model the subagent is using
|
||||
- **Elapsed time**: how long the subagent has been running
|
||||
- **Active tool call**: the tool the subagent is currently executing
|
||||
|
||||
This makes it easier to understand what's happening during complex orchestrated tasks without needing to dig into logs or wait for the subagent to finish before getting feedback.
|
||||
|
||||
## Launch subagents in Copilot CLI
|
||||
|
||||
In GitHub Copilot CLI, the clearest end-user entry point is **`/fleet`**. Fleet acts as an orchestrator that decomposes a larger objective, launches multiple background subagents, respects dependencies, and then synthesizes the final result.

Plugins loaded this way appear in `/plugin list` under a separate **External Plugins** section, clearly distinguished from marketplace-installed plugins. This is useful for testing local plugins in development or loading private plugins that aren't published to any marketplace.
|
||||
|
||||
### Enabling and Disabling Plugin Components *(v1.0.76+)*
|
||||
|
||||
After installing a plugin, you can selectively enable or disable individual components without uninstalling the whole plugin. This lets you use only the parts of a plugin that are relevant to your current work:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
/plugins # open the plugin management panel
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
From the panel, you can toggle on or off:
|
||||
- Individual **agents** from a plugin
|
||||
- Individual **skills**
|
||||
- **Instructions** bundled with the plugin
|
||||
- **Hooks** and **LSP servers**
|
||||
|
||||
You can also manage components from the CLI:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Disable a specific agent from a plugin
|
||||
copilot plugin disable my-plugin/agents/api-architect
|
||||
|
||||
# Re-enable it later
|
||||
copilot plugin enable my-plugin/agents/api-architect
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This granular control is useful when a plugin ships multiple agents but you only need one, or when a plugin's hooks conflict with your local configuration.
|
||||
|
||||
### Where Plugins Are Stored
