Session sync is the automatic cloud synchronization of AI coding agent chat sessions across devices and workspaces. Introduced in visual-studio-code 1.123 (June 2026), sessions sync to GitHub accounts with searchable history via Chronicle commands.
Key Points
- Default enabled:
chat.sessionSync.enabled— captures conversation, files touched, repo/branch context, PRs/issues/commits - Chronicle commands:
/chronicle:standup,/chronicle:tips,/chronicle:cost-tips,/chronicle:search,/chronicle:reindex - Privacy: Sessions private unless explicitly shared; opt-out via settings or
chat.sessionSync.excludeRepositories - Scope: Draws from Copilot CLI, coding agent, code review, and VS Code sessions
- Context: Released alongside build-2026; complements 1M-token model context windows
