Agent Workbench Plugin
Vision: AI-First Workflow UX
The Agent Workbench plugin reimagines the IDE experience around AI-assisted development. Rather than treating AI as an add-on feature, the plugin creates a seamless workflow where developers can:
- Start conversations naturally - Begin coding discussions from any context in the IDE
- Maintain persistent threads - Keep conversation history organized and accessible across sessions
- Navigate AI interactions - Browse, search, and resume previous conversations efficiently
- Integrate with development flow - Connect AI assistance directly to code navigation, editing, and debugging
The goal is to make AI assistance feel like a native part of the development environment, reducing context switching and keeping developers in flow.
Architecture
The plugin provides two complementary views for working with AI-assisted development:
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐

│ Why dual views? │
│ • Work on multiple tasks in parallel — see status of each │
│ • AI isn't "there" yet — you still review, read, understand code │
│ • Not vibe-coding — we use AI in production, need to know how/why │

The Agent Threads Tool Window organizes conversations by project:
Projects
├── project-a
│ ├── Thread: "Add caching layer" [done]
│ └── Thread: "Fix auth bug" [needs input]
│ └── sub-agent: "research"
└── project-b (not open) [Connect]
└── Thread: "Refactor API" [inactive]
