Mindonove Code AI

Mindonove Code AI is a VS Code API powered vibe coding chatbot and agent. It uses the VS Code Language Model API, so it does not start a local server, call Ollama, or ship a separate model provider.

Version 0.0.5 adds the AI logo to the Activity Bar. Click it to open Mindonove in the primary side bar, or use the existing top-right editor AI button to reveal the same chat view.

Features

• Activity Bar AI logo that opens the Mindonove chatbot in the primary side bar.
• Top-right editor AI logo near the split editor button that reveals the same primary side bar chat.
• Agent mode that can inspect files, create files, edit files, delete files, and run commands through VS Code APIs.
• Native VS Code Chat participant: open VS Code Chat and use @mindonove.
• Chat commands:
  • /agent creates, edits, deletes, and runs commands for workspace tasks.
  • /explain explains the active editor context.
  • /fix finds bugs and suggests practical fixes.
  • /tests writes focused tests for the active code.
• Command Palette actions:
  • AI
  • Mindonove: Ask Code AI
  • Mindonove: Agent Mode
  • Mindonove: Generate Code at Cursor
  • Mindonove: Explain Selection
  • Mindonove: Improve Selection
• Editor context menu actions for selected code.

Agent Tools

Mindonove can use these VS Code-backed tools:

• List workspace files.
• Read workspace files.
• Create or overwrite workspace files.
• Replace exact text in workspace files.
• Move workspace files or folders to trash.
• Run commands in the VS Code integrated terminal.

File writes, deletes, and terminal commands ask for confirmation by default.

Install Local VSIX

Install the latest local package:

code --install-extension .\mindonovecodeai-mft-0.0.5.vsix --force

After installing, reload VS Code. Look for the AI logo in the Activity Bar, or open any editor tab and use the top-right editor AI button.

Requirements

You need a VS Code language model provider available in your editor. The extension uses the selected VS Code model through vscode.lm.

Settings

• mindonoveCodeAI.modelId: Optional VS Code language model id. Leave empty to use the first available model.
• mindonoveCodeAI.temperature: Model temperature passed to the VS Code Language Model API.
• mindonoveCodeAI.maxContextCharacters: Maximum active editor and workspace context sent to the model.
• mindonoveCodeAI.agentMaxRounds: Maximum tool-calling rounds for one agent request.
• mindonoveCodeAI.commandTimeoutSeconds: Default timeout for terminal commands.
• mindonoveCodeAI.requireToolConfirmation: Ask before writes, deletes, and commands.

Development

Run the extension from VS Code:

1. Open this folder in VS Code.
2. Press F5.
3. In the Extension Development Host, click the Activity Bar AI logo or open a file and click the top-right AI button.
4. You can also open Chat and type @mindonove /agent.

Useful scripts:
