Your secrets stay local. Your LLM gets the context.
This VS Code extension automatically starts the Cloq proxy in the background whenever you open your editor, providing seamless, invisible protection for all your AI coding assistants (like Copilot, Continue.dev, and Cursor).
Features
🛡️ Zero-Config Protection: Automatically intercepts and masks API keys, PII, and internal network IPs before they ever leave your machine.
⚡ Prompt Caching: Normalizes prompts to increase cache hit rates with external LLMs, cutting your token usage by up to 80%.
📊 Live Dashboard: Click the Cloq icon in your status bar to instantly see real-time metrics on tokens saved and entities protected.
🤖 Universal Compatibility: Works with OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Groq, and any OpenAI-compatible endpoint.
