GitHub's getting-started guide describes a standalone workspace rather than an editor extension: pick a repo as a project, run multiple agent sessions against it simultaneously, keep separate Quick Chat threads open. Canvases created with /create-canvas preview a running application inside the app with a "Pick & Polish" mode for pointing at UI elements. Agent Merge watches reviews and CI to address feedback, fix failures, and resolve conflicts.
