VS Code Extension

Source Code

Description

The VS Code Extension for Goose AI integrates the Goose developer agent directly into Visual Studio Code. This allows developers to interact with the Goose agent for a range of code-related tasks, including code assistance, editing, testing, and automation, directly from the editor.

Features

• Integration with Goose AI agent: Connects your VS Code environment to the Goose developer agent, which must be installed separately.
• Ask Goose about code: Highlight code and ask the agent questions or request actions using a dedicated panel or the "Ask Goose" command.
• Code actions via Code Lens: Use code lens/contextual menus to request code completions, edits, or other actions for specific code sections.
• Automated code edits and testing: Instruct Goose to make changes, test code, deploy, or perform other tasks in your project.
• Quick fixes: Request Goose to automatically fix detected problems in your code.
• Terminal integration: Open a Goose terminal inside VS Code to chat with the agent or issue commands.
• Custom project hints: Supports a .goosehints file in your project root to give Goose project-specific instructions (e.g., how to run or test your code).
• Command-line actions: Goose can run shell commands on your behalf to perform project operations.
• Interruptible tasks: You can interrupt Goose's ongoing tasks if needed.
• Experimental and actively developed: The extension is a work in progress and frequently updated.

Requirements

• Goose AI agent must be installed separately for the extension to function.

Installation

• Available directly from the VS Code marketplace.
• Can also be installed from source or a packaged .vsix file if needed.
