VS Code Extension

AgentRC — prime your repositories for AI-assisted development.

The AgentRC extension brings all CLI capabilities into VS Code with tree views, visual reports, and command palette access.

Install

The extension is not yet published to the Marketplace. Build from source:

cd vscode-extension && npm install && node esbuild.mjs

Then press F5 in VS Code to launch the Extension Development Host.

Commands

Open the Command Palette (⇧⌘P) and type AgentRC:

Command What it does
Init Repository Guided onboarding (analyze → generate)
Analyze Repository Detect languages, frameworks, areas
Readiness Report Score and display readiness
Generate Instructions Generate instruction files via Copilot SDK
Generate Configs Generate MCP and VS Code configs
Run Eval Evaluate instruction quality
Scaffold Eval Config Create starter agentrc.eval.json
Create Pull Request Clone → generate → open PR
Generate Instructions (All Roots) Batch generate across multi-root workspaces

Sidebar views

The AgentRC activity bar icon gives you two tree views:

  • Analysis — Repo structure at a glance: languages, frameworks, detected areas
  • Readiness — Pillar-by-pillar readiness breakdown with pass/fail indicators

Both views refresh automatically when you run commands.

Settings

Configure via Settings (⌘,) → search agentrc:

Setting Default Description
agentrc.model claude-sonnet-4.6 Default model for generation
agentrc.judgeModel (uses model) Model for eval judging
agentrc.autoAnalyze false Auto-analyze on workspace open

Extension vs CLI

Both use the same core services. Choose based on workflow:

Use the extension when... Use the CLI when...
You want visual readiness reports You need CI/CD integration
You prefer command palette over terminal You're batch-processing repos
You want sidebar tree views You want JSON output for scripting
You're working in a single repo You're automating across an org

Multi-root workspaces

In multi-root workspaces, commands that target a single repo will prompt you to pick a folder. The Generate Instructions (All Roots) command processes all workspace folders at once.
