AL Development Collection is now available as an official extension on Visual Studio Marketplace for Visual Studio Code. It is an AI-native toolkit for AL developers working with Dynamics 365 Business Central and GitHub Copilot, designed to turn “playing with AI” into a structured, repeatable development workflow.
The extension installs in seconds and deploys a complete set of instructions, agents and workflows into the .github folder of your repository, so GitHub Copilot can immediately rely on shared context, auto-applied coding standards and a complexity-based orchestration approach. The result is less friction when starting a project, more consistency across teams, and a clear foundation to build agentic workflows around AL development.
This toolkit is the practical implementation of ideas I’ve been sharing in recent months about AI Native Development, agent primitives and context engineering for Business Central. Recent articles describe the concepts and architecture; publishing the extension on Marketplace is the natural next step, making all that work just one command away for any developer.
If you build Business Central extensions and you already use GitHub Copilot, AL Development Collection aims to be your starting point: an opinionated yet customizable kit that helps you design, implement, test and document features with systematic AI support.
Feedback, issues and improvement ideas are very welcome: this started for the community and will grow with the community.
