feat: report VS Code MCP integration missing agent skill support #345168

Closed as duplicate

Description

Summary

VS Code's MCP (Model Context Protocol) integration lacks support for agent skills, limiting the usefulness of AI agents in the editor.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Install VS Code with MCP extension
  2. Connect to an MCP server with tools
  3. Ask Copilot to use a specialized skill (e.g., bug report generation)
  4. Observe that skills are not recognized - only raw tools are available

Expected Behavior

VS Code should recognize and organize MCP tools into agent skills, similar to OpenCode's skill system.

Actual Behavior

All tools are presented as flat list with no skill categorization or composition.

Proposed Fix

  1. Add skill grouping to MCP tool listings
  2. Support skill metadata (description, category, triggers)
  3. Allow skill chaining and composition
  4. Add skill discovery from registries
