-{% data variables.copilot.copilot_coding_agent %} is distinct from the "agent mode" feature available in {% data variables.product.prodname_vs %} and {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode %}. {% data variables.copilot.copilot_coding_agent %} works autonomously in a {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %}-powered environment to complete development tasks assigned through {% data variables.product.github %} issues or {% data variables.copilot.copilot_chat %} prompts, and creates pull requests with the results. In contrast, agent mode in {% data variables.product.prodname_vs %} and {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode %} is part of the {% data variables.copilot.copilot_edits %} feature that allows {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} to make autonomous edits directly in your local development environment. For more information about agent mode, see [AUTOTITLE](/copilot/using-github-copilot/copilot-chat/asking-github-copilot-questions-in-your-ide?tool=visualstudio#copilot-edits-1).
