Automus is a local AI Coding Agent embedded directly into your VS Code editor. It allows you to chat with your codebase, automate file edits, and inspect/explore your project structure—powered by your own Google Gemini or OpenRouter API keys.
Key Features
🛠️ ReAct Coding Agent: Automus inspects and updates files on your behalf.
🔍 Workspace Context: Automatically pulls context from active/referenced code files.
🎨 13 Premium Themes: Choose from deep cobalt slates, solarized yellow, cyberpunk gold, and a warm sakura pink to match your editor aesthetic.
🔒 Security Sandbox: Encapsulated within your workspace. Path traversal blocks and a sensitive file filter (e.g. .env, SSH keys) prevent unauthorized system access or token leakage.
⚡ Animated Status Indicator: Engages a pulsing gradient waveform showing you exactly what step the AI is working on (Thinking, Reading, Writing, etc.).
🔄 Auto-Apply & Diff Cards: Toggle Auto-apply off to review full side-by-side green/red code diffs before allowing any file writes.
