CodeRun AI Agent

A multi-provider AI coding agent for VS Code. Supports Ollama, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, OpenRouter, and any OpenAI-compatible API.

Features

  • Multi-provider support — Switch between Ollama, OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, OpenRouter, and generic OpenAI-compatible endpoints
  • Copilot-style tool permissions — Allow/Deny dangerous actions with "Always Allow" / "Always Deny" options
  • Real-time streaming — Live thinking tokens, content, tool calls, and terminal output
  • VS Code terminal integration — Real terminal execution, not just child_process
  • File operations — Read, write, edit, delete, search with workspace safety checks
  • Modular architecture — Clean separation: providers, tools, prompts, loop, storage
