Description
Type: Bug
The Copilot chat agent type selector does not display the Claude agent option, only Local, Cloud and Codex. My plan is Copilot Max.
The setting option "github.copilot.chat.claudeAgent.enabled" is true. Also all Anthropic models are available, but not the Claude agent.
I see Claude Agent is a preview feature, but I did not found any recent info if it was disabled.
