The workspace contains a package manifest with a development script.
Run npm install, then start the project with npm run dev.
Made for real workflows
More than a chat sidebar
Every part of the extension is built to make the model’s actions visible, bounded, and reversible.
Tools with boundaries
Read, search, create, edit, patch, and terminal tools are governed by explicit permission modes.
Cancellable terminal
Non-interactive commands include timeout, bounded output, exit details, and process-tree cancellation.
Bounded context
Workspace files, editor selections, and staged or unstaged Git changes use defined context limits.
Local history
Settings and conversations are stored under your user profile with retention and deletion controls.
Accessible worldwide
Keyboard-friendly controls and automatic English, Spanish, and Chinese localization.
Safety
You approve the risky parts
Dangerous or destructive operations require confirmation. Tool states remain visible from request to completion, rejection, cancellation, or error.
Privacy
No extension telemetry
The extension does not collect usage data. Your API key stays in VS Code Secret Storage. Prompts and referenced context sent to the official DeepSeek API remain subject to DeepSeek’s terms and may be processed or cached in China.
