Codeflow is a VS Code extension that turns a messy codebase into a clean outline. It reads symbols from your workspace, asks your LLM, and gives you a flow you can click through. It's basically a replica of Windsurf's CodeMaps feature, which now you can use it on any vscode fork with any endpoint!
I built it purely for personal reasons but obviously, if you want to contribute with improvements, feel free to do so!
What you get
A dedicated Codeflow view in the Activity Bar.
Clickable steps that jump to the relevant file and line.
A graph view (Mermaid) with diagrams when you want the big picture.
Export to JSON or HTML for sharing.
Works with any OpenAI-compatible endpoint.
Quick start
Open a workspace folder.
Set codeflow.apiBase and codeflow.apiKey in Settings.
Run Codeflow: Create Codeflow.
Ask a question like "Where does auth start?" or "Startup flow".

Description
Example
codeflow.apiBase
Base URL of the API. If it ends with a version (e.g. /v4), we append /chat/completions; otherwise /v1/chat/completions.
https://api.openai.com
codeflow.apiKey
API key for the provider.
sk-...
codeflow.model
Model name.
modelname
codeflow.maxTokens
Max tokens for responses.
4096
codeflow.timeoutMs
Client timeout (ms). 0 disables the client timeout.
0
codeflow.include
Glob for files to consider.
**/*.{ts,tsx,js,jsx,py,go,rs,java,kt}
codeflow.exclude
Glob to exclude.
**/node_modules/**,**/.git/**,**/dist/**
Notes:
HTTP is only allowed for localhost / 127.0.0.1.
The API must expose POST /v1/chat/completions (OpenAI-compatible) (TLDR: Just get an OpenAI compatible endpoint!).
