PivotCLI

A VS Code extension that gives you a sidebar panel to launch AI coding CLI tools — right inside your editor. Run multiple sessions in tabs, switch between them, and multitask.

Supported CLIs

Features

• Launch any supported CLI from a clean homepage
• Multi-tab support — run multiple CLIs simultaneously
• Chrome-style tab bar with activity indicators
• YOLO mode for Gemini, Claude, and Codex
• Embedded terminal powered by xterm.js with full PTY support
• Session history — quickly relaunch previous sessions
• Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux

Requirements

The CLI tools you want to use must be installed and available on your PATH.
