Summary
Adding support for VS Code's GitHub Copilot chat sessions prior to February 2026 to copilot's parser.
How it works:
The parser scan for
chatSessions/*.jsonand parses the legacy chat sessions if there is arequestsarray in root JSON object. The schema of those JSON files and its definitions likeIToolCallRoundandThinkingDatacan be found in https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-copilot-chat.This old format reads all of input, output, reasoning messages and tool calling outputs to determine number of tokens used by a model, which is also stored in the request object. It reads exact token counts (
promptTokens,completionTokens,usage) when available, otherwise it fallbacks to character-based estimation.This parser also maps the model used in auto model selection to the actual model used.
