 Welcome to the October 2025 release of Visual Studio Code.
 
-The future of software development is collaborative, where you orchestrate multiple specialized agents that work asynchronously on your behalf. This release brings [Agent HQ](https://github.blog/news-insights/company-news/welcome-home-agents) to VS Code, where the [**Agent Sessions view serves as your mission control**](#agents). Delegate tasks to any agent - local or cloud-based - and monitor their progress all in one place. And with **OpenAI Codex integration**, you can now use your Copilot subscription to access third-party agents directly from VS Code.

-Complex features require careful planning, whether you're working solo or delegating it to an agent. This release, we're introducing a [**built-in planning agent**](#plan-agent) that helps you break down tasks step-by-step and build a detailed implementation plan before any code is written. For even finer control, you can create [**custom agents**](#chat-modes-renamed-to-custom-agents) and configure handoffs to other agents, shaping how the AI works for your project's needs and workflows.
+This releases brings significant updates across three key areas:
 
-To confidently delegate more tasks to AI, **security and transparency** are key. This release, we completed [**open sourcing of inline suggestions**](https://code.visualstudio.com/blogs/2025/11/04/openSourceAIEditorSecondMilestone), providing full visibility into how AI is integrated into your editor. To make working with agent tools safer, we added [**tool pre and post-approval**](#tool-approvals-and-trust), made terminal tool auto-approvals more robust, and adopted the latest [MCP authentication standards](#mcp). For organizations that need governance at scale, the new [**custom MCP registry**](#mcp-server-access-for-your-organization) lets you control which MCP servers can be used across your team, and with [**Linux policy support**](#linux-policy-support), you can now manage VS Code policies across all major platforms.

-As a developer, your productivity depends on a [**great editor experience**](#code-editing). This release brings several (and sometimes long-awaited) improvements to make your day-to-day coding smoother. Selecting and copying from deleted lines in the diff editor is now possible, the go to line experience is further enhanced, and comparing [**source control**](#source-control) branches and tags will be a huge time saver. And speaking of feeling great, the entire editor experience has been refreshed with **modernized iconography**.
+* **Agent HQ** is your single view to kick off, monitor, and review agent sessions, whether they're local or remote, from Copilot or OpenAI Codex
+* **Security and trust** help you stay in control and confidently delegate more tasks to AI
+* **A great editor experience** to make your day-to-day coding smoother and more enjoyable
 
 Happy Coding!
