Description
I just installed Amazon Q in VS2026 Insiders and now in the Amazon Q tab and inside of it where I type in my prompt there is a dropdown list and all I see in the list is 4 Claude Variations. I can chat with Amazon Q so it is working.
I asked Amazon Q and it says the dropdown choices should be:
/dev - Development agent focused on writing and modifying code
/test - Testing agent specialized in creating and running tests
/docs - Documentation agent for generating and updating documentation
/review - Code review agent for analyzing code quality and suggesting improvements
I did close and restart VS2026 Insiders and the list is still the same.
**Development System (please complete the following information):**
- Windows Version: Windows Server 2019
- Visual Studio Version: Version: Insiders [11222.16]
- AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio Version: 1.82.0.0
Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the issue in Visual Studio Insiders 11222.16 on Windows Server 2019 with AWS Toolkit 1.82.0.0, then inspect the Amazon Q prompt dropdown and compare it with the four expected agent choices listed in the report. Done means the dropdown shows /dev, /test, /docs, and /review rather than only the four Claude variations.
