Copilot VSCode Extension Investigation

This is an investigation into using VSCode extensions to expand what Copilot can do.

It's largely based off of the sample code here, the aim is to work out the possibilities of using VSCode extensions and how we could potentially use them at the BBC.

Running the Sample

• Run pnpm install in terminal to install dependencies
• Run the Run Extension target in the Debug View. This will:
  • Start a task npm: watch to compile the code
  • Run the extension in a new VS Code window
  • You will see the @cat chat participant show in the GitHub Copilot Chat view
