Pull request overview
This PR updates the repo’s prompt/agent authoring guidance and artifacts to prepare for improved subagent orchestration (executor/evaluator/updater pattern) and tool referencing, plus expands the workspace MCP server configuration.
Changes:
- Expands
.vscode/mcp.jsonwith additional MCP servers and ADO-related inputs. - Simplifies several prompt files to delegate more behavior to the
prompt-builderagent and introduces new “leaf” subagent agent files. - Updates
prompt-builder.instructions.mdand theprompt-builder/task-planneragents to reflect the new subagent model and streamlined protocols.

New Support for Subagents
agents:in custom agent files, this will make subagents behave consistently and better more often.#tool:will allow for better support at referring to the tool names that Copilot uses, in the agent files themselves.These features are not yet implemented in GitHub Copilot, when supported then I'll continue working on this change.
