VS Code extension for a self-hosted Odysseus AI assistant. Connects to your local Odysseus server and gives you an agent-capable chat panel directly inside VS Code.
Requirements
Odysseus server running (default http://localhost:7860)
VS Code 1.85+
Getting Started
Start your Odysseus server.
Open the Odysseus panel from the Activity Bar (sail icon).
Sign in with your Odysseus credentials.
Start chatting — the agent can read files, run bash, search the web, and write to disk.
Features
Chat Panel
Streaming responses with real-time token output
Collapsible thinking blocks (extended reasoning)
Tool call chips showing bash, web search, file read/write with expandable output
Rotating status messages while waiting (the important ones)
Memories
Sidebar Memories panel — create, filter, and delete AI memories that persist across sessions. Memories are injected into every chat to help the agent remember your preferences, project context, and important details.
Notes
Sidebar Notes panel — persistent notes and TODO lists with pinning and completion toggles. Notes survive across sessions and workspace reloads.
Context Awareness
Active file pill — automatically injects the open file into every message
Selection pill — injects highlighted code with line numbers
VS Code diagnostics injection — errors and warnings from the Problems panel sent as context
@file mentions — type @ to open a fuzzy file picker; selected file contents are injected into the API message
Alt+K — inserts an @filename:startLine-endLine reference from your current editor selection
odysseus.sendSelection command — appends a @file:line reference to the chat input
Workspace file listing (gitignore-aware) sent as context on every message
Message History
Edit & delete past messages — hover any message in the conversation history to reveal edit and delete buttons. Edit a message to re-send it to the agent; delete to remove it.
Message history replay when switching sessions (falls back to a divider if backend has no history endpoint)
Edit Review
Pre-send autosave — dirty buffers are saved before the agent runs so it reads fresh disk content
Post-write diff viewer — when the agent modifies a file, a VS Code diff opens automatically showing original vs modified
Revert button — inline "Revert" action in the chat restores the pre-edit snapshot without touching the conversation
Session Management
Session history sidebar with search, grouped by Today / Yesterday / Last 7 days / Older
Session operations — hover a session in the sidebar to compact, fork, truncate, star (mark as important), rename, or delete. Compacting summarizes old messages; forking creates an independent copy.
Rename and delete sessions (hover a session to reveal actions)
Message history replay when switching sessions (falls back to a divider if backend has no history endpoint)
Multiple chat panels — Odysseus: Open New Chat Panel opens an independent conversation
Session persisted per workspace via VS Code workspace state
