AI-powered code intelligence and context management, embedded as a VS Code sidebar panel.
Brokk understands your entire codebase — classes, methods, dependencies, and call graphs — so you can have precise, context-aware conversations with an LLM about your code.
Features
Smart context management — Add files, classes, and methods to your conversation context with @ autocomplete. Brokk resolves symbols using full code intelligence, not just text search.
Codebase-aware AI chat — Ask questions, request refactors, or explore unfamiliar code with an LLM that understands your project's structure.
Edit and apply — Brokk can propose edits across multiple files. Review diffs and apply changes directly from the sidebar.
Activity history — Undo and redo context and code changes with a full activity log.
