Bee — The Progressive Intelligence Engine (VS Code)

Domain-specialized AI by Bee, right in your editor — a real, streaming chat panel plus inline code explain / refactor / test / fix. Bee auto-routes each question to the right specialization from its domain library (programming, AI, cybersecurity, quantum, fintech, science, engineering, finance, and more) — what's available depends on your plan and tenant — and you pick the model tier.

Features

• Streaming chat panel — open the Bee icon in the activity bar. Responses stream token-by-token with a Stop button, multi-turn context, a New-chat action, and per-message token usage. Conversation persists across reloads.
• Composer options — attach the current selection, the current file, or chosen text/code files as context (＋); apply reusable Skills (instruction templates) and output Styles (Concise / Explanatory / Formal / Learning); starter prompts on a new chat; and Read aloud any reply (local text-to-speech).
• Apply to your code — Refactor and Fix Bug return a code block you can Apply to Selection (or Copy) in one click. Every code block in chat has a Copy button.
• Auto domain routing — Bee classifies your question and routes it to the right specialization automatically. Availability is governed by your plan and tenant (Bee gates this server-side).
• Model tiers — switch between Cell (free) and Brood, Comb, Buzz, Hive, Swarm (paid plans). Your choice is shown in the status bar.
• Ask Bee (⌘⇧B / Ctrl+Shift+B) — ask from anywhere.
• Right-click on a selection → Explain, Refactor, Write Tests, or Fix Bug, each cancellable.

Sign in

Run Bee: Sign In (or click a button in the chat panel). Two ways:

• Sign in with Bee (recommended) — opens your browser, you log in the normal way (email code), and you're brought straight back to the editor signed in. No copy-paste.
• Use an API key — create a bee_sk_… key at bee.heossi.com and paste it.

Your credential is stored in VS Code SecretStorage — not in plaintext settings. Use Bee: Sign Out to remove it. (A legacy bee.apiKey setting is migrated into SecretStorage automatically.)

By default the extension talks to the hosted gateway at https://bee.heossi.com/bee. To use a local Bee server instead, set bee.apiUrl to http://localhost:8000.

Commands

Bee: Sign In · Bee: Sign Out · Bee: Ask Question · Bee: Open Chat Panel · Bee: Switch Model Tier · Bee: New Chat · and the right-click Explain / Refactor / Write Tests / Fix Bug.

Settings

Model and domain are chosen from the chat panel's options bar (not settings).
