Research direction
Start by locating the Visual Studio Code extension within the repository and reviewing its existing commands for opening VS Code. Add a command that invokes the documented code --agents flag, then run the extension locally and verify that selecting it opens the Agents window.

Description
I would like to request a new command in the VS Code extension to open the Agents window directly from Raycast, allowing users to quickly access and manage their agent sessions.
The Agents window is a dedicated, agent-first Visual Studio Code window for assigning high-level tasks and tracking agent sessions across workspaces. - Offical Docs: VS Code Agents Window
The code command supports the --agents flag, which opens the Agents window in Visual Studio Code:
code --help
...
--agents Opens the agents window.
It would be useful to add support for this flag to the Raycast extension, allowing users to open the VS Code Agents window directly from Raycast.
Selecting Open Agents Window opens the VS Code Agents window directly, where users can start and manage agent sessions.
Who will benefit from this feature?
Anyone who wants quick access to Visual Studio Code’s Agents window from Raycast.
