Team docs in VS Code Copilot

Search across your team in VS Code Copilot
Use `search_files` to index your team's Paper documents directly inside your editor. It makes finding legacy info as simple as a natural language query. It replaces slow wiki searches. When you need to verify document history, `get_metadata` gives you the context you need to move forward.
Clean up your docs
Keep your workspace tidy with `delete_file`. It allows you to remove outdated documentation directly from VS Code without switching apps. It keeps your project clean. Use `list_shared_folders` to manage what your team can see and ensure the right docs stay in the right place.
