About this tag
The agent host tag on WindowsForum.com covers Microsoft's VS Code Agent Host, a separate process that keeps AI coding sessions alive independently of the editor window that started them. Discussions focus on how this architecture enables long-running Copilot, Claude, or Codex-style workflows to persist across different VS Code windows, the Agents window, or browser-connected clients.

Content draws from Microsoft's official documentation and industry reporting, offering a technical overview of this feature for developers using VS Code with AI tools.
