BotoolAgent for VS Code

AI-powered autonomous development agent with a visual 5-stage SOP workflow.

What is BotoolAgent?

BotoolAgent turns natural language into working software. Describe what you want to build, and BotoolAgent handles the rest — from requirements to code to testing to deployment.

Built for non-developers: business analysts, domain experts, and project managers can create tools without writing code.

Features

Visual SOP Workflow

BotoolAgent guides you through 5 stages:

PRD Writing — Describe your idea through guided Q&A
Task Planning — Automatically break down requirements into development tasks
Auto Development — AI agents write the code autonomously
Auto Testing — 4-layer automated verification pipeline
Merge & Deploy — Code review and merge to your repository

VS Code Integration

Viewer Tab — Full workflow UI embedded as a VS Code tab
Sidebar — Quick access to projects and actions
File Bridge — Click files in Viewer to open them in the editor
Terminal Bridge — Run commands directly from the Viewer
Environment Check — Automatic dependency detection

Requirements

Node.js 20+
Claude CLI — Install with npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
Claude Subscription — Required for AI agent capabilities

Getting Started

Install this extension from the VS Code Marketplace
Open your project in VS Code
Press Cmd+Shift+P (Mac) or Ctrl+Shift+P (Windows/Linux)
Type "BotoolAgent: Open Viewer"
Follow the guided workflow

Commands

Command	Description
`BotoolAgent: Open Viewer`	Launch the Viewer workflow UI
`BotoolAgent: Stop Viewer Server`	Stop the background server

How It Works

The extension bundles a pre-built Viewer server and Claude CLI skills. When you open the Viewer:

A local Next.js server starts on the configured port
The Viewer UI loads in a VS Code Webview tab
Claude CLI skills are automatically registered in ~/.claude/skills/
AI agents use Claude CLI to execute development tasks in your workspace

Your code stays local. BotoolAgent orchestrates AI agents that work directly in your repository.
