Lumit VS Code Extension

Lumit is now a full VS Code extension experience with:

  • Activity Bar container (Lumit)
  • Sidebar panel (Assistant) with prompt UI
  • Local bridge server for the desktop app (127.0.0.1:<port>)
  • Command palette actions
  • Status bar integration

What It Provides

1) Sidebar Assistant UI

  • Open Lumit from the Activity Bar.
  • Enter Prompt, optional System, optional Model family.
  • Run prompt and view response directly in the sidebar.

2) Bridge API for Desktop Lumit

  • GET /health
  • GET /status
  • POST /complete

Default port is 8767 (configurable).

3) Commands

  • Lumit: Open Sidebar
  • Lumit: Show Bridge Status
  • Lumit: Restart Bridge Server
  • Lumit: Run Prompt

4) Status Bar

  • Shows Lumit quick entry (can be disabled in settings).

Settings

  • lumit.defaultModelFamily (string, optional)
  • lumit.bridgeToken (string, optional but recommended)
  • lumit.autoStartBridge (boolean, default true)

Publishing to Marketplace

This repo does not auto-publish. To appear in VS Code Extensions search, you must publish with your own publisher + PAT:

  1. Create publisher (Azure DevOps / Marketplace).
  2. Ensure publisher and repository.url in package.json match your real account/repo.
  3. vsce login <publisher>
  4. vsce publish

Until then, it works as a local or VSIX-installed extension only.
