Code Context Memo VS Code preview

Features

Adds a Code Memo activity bar view.
Adds Record code context to the editor context menu when code is selected.
Records project-relative file path, line range, best-effort code location, selected code, and What to do.
Opens a temporary right-side recording panel with code preview and a multiline What to do input.
Uses bordered, theme-aware input fields across record, memo, history, background, and AI settings panels.
Highlights memo sections with different colors for file metadata, code blocks, task text, and separators, with higher-contrast task text.
Persists task background, memo text, and history per workspace.
Keeps at most 20 history snapshots and supports restoring or deleting a single snapshot.
Uses VS Code native confirmation before deleting a history snapshot.
Copies only the memo body.
Supports DeepSeek/OpenAI-compatible AI calls for memo organization and task background optimization.
Keeps AI settings inside the Code Memo webview instead of opening a separate settings page.

Select code in the editor.
Choose Record code context from the editor context menu.
Review the file path, line number, code location, and selected code.
Add What to do, then record it into the memo.
Edit the memo freely and copy only the final memo body when you are ready to send it to a coding agent.

AI features are optional. Configure an OpenAI-compatible endpoint, model, API key, and prompt language in AI Settings.

The default endpoint is:

https://api.deepseek.com/chat/completions

The default model is:

deepseek-v4-pro

AI requests are only sent when you click an AI action such as Organize Memo or task background optimization.

Memo content is stored in VS Code workspace state.
AI settings are stored in VS Code global state.
API keys are stored through VS Code SecretStorage.
The extension does not include telemetry.
If you use AI features, the current memo/task background is sent to the endpoint you configure.
