ByteAsk for VS Code

Drive the ByteAsk C/C++ agentic coding harness from VS Code.

ByteAsk: Open Terminal — the interactive TUI in an integrated terminal.
Exec / Exec on Selection — headless byteask exec; selection is sent as context.
Fix Diagnostics in Active File — pipe the file's problems into exec for a fix.
Review Repository — byteask review, streamed to the ByteAsk output channel.
Apply Latest Diff — byteask apply to write the agent's diff to your tree.
Resume / Resume Last — pick up a previous session.

Requirements

pip install --upgrade byteask   # or: pipx install byteask
byteask login
byteask doctor

Settings

Setting	Default	Description
`byteask.command`	`byteask`	Path to the CLI executable
`byteask.model`	`""`	Model passed via `-m` (empty = default)
`byteask.extraArgs`	`[]`	Extra CLI args (e.g. `["--oss"]`)
`byteask.autoApply`	`false`	Run `byteask apply` after a successful exec

Keybindings

Ctrl/Cmd+Alt+B — open the ByteAsk terminal
Ctrl/Cmd+Alt+E — exec on the current selection

Develop

npm install
npm run compile      # → out/extension.js
# Press F5 in VS Code to launch an Extension Development Host
npm run package      # build a .vsix (requires @vscode/vsce)

Headless commands stream via child_process into the ByteAsk output channel; the interactive TUI runs in an integrated terminal (it needs a TTY). A future revision will speak the structured byteask app-server protocol for inline diffs and approvals.
