Orqenly — Your AI Engineering Team

Orqenly is a local-first multi-agent engineering console for Visual Studio Code. It coordinates security, LLM, data, backend, and frontend specialists, then applies approved changes through a deterministic workspace broker.

This is an independent product and is not an official OpenAI, Anthropic, Microsoft, GitHub, or Visual Studio Code extension.

Requirements

• Visual Studio Code 1.106 or later
• Node.js 22 or later
• A ChatGPT plan with Codex access, a Claude account, an OpenAI API key, or an Anthropic API key
• Codex CLI or Claude Code when using a subscription-based provider

Orqenly includes guided Codex and Claude Code installation and sign-in. API keys are optional.

Getting started

1. Open a project folder and trust the workspace.
2. Open Orqenly in the Secondary Side Bar.
3. Choose Auto, Codex / ChatGPT, Claude, or OpenAI API from the provider menu.
4. Follow the connection banner to install or sign in to the selected provider.
5. Select Build, Review, Test, Debug, or Plan.
6. Choose an approval policy and run the engineering team.

All provider, workflow, approval, context, and memory controls are available directly in the prompt composer.

Approval policies

• Ask: Confirm each proposed file write and command.
• Session: Reuse the first approval decision for the current run.
• Auto: Run up to eight plan, apply, inspect, and verify iterations by default, stopping early when evidenced gates pass.

Workspace boundaries, path validation, command allowlists, shell-free execution, and timeouts remain active in every mode.

Connections

Orqenly uses the user's own ChatGPT-authenticated Codex CLI session, Claude Code session, or optional provider API key. Usage limits and billing belong to the selected provider account. The extension does not copy Codex or Claude credentials.

GitHub context is optional and uses Visual Studio Code authentication. Optional OpenAI and Anthropic API keys are stored in Visual Studio Code SecretStorage.

Commands

• Orqenly: Open Panel

• Orqenly: Configure Anthropic API Key
• Orqenly: Manage Workspace Memory
• Orqenly: Clear Stored Credentials
• Orqenly: Show Logs

Privacy and security

The publisher does not operate an Orqenly account service and does not collect telemetry. Task context is sent directly to OpenAI or Anthropic through the provider selected by the user. Claude runs have Claude's file, command, plugin, skill, hook, and MCP tools disabled; all proposed actions remain behind Orqenly's approval and broker controls. GitHub metadata is included only when selected. See PRIVACY.md, TERMS.md, and SECURITY.md in the extension package.

Workspace memory stores only notes the user explicitly adds in local VS Code workspace state. It can be disabled per run, reviewed, or deleted at any time.

Orqenly retrieves task-relevant source files under a complexity-aware context budget, excludes known credential files, and routes each task to the owning specialists. Focused work avoids unnecessary model calls; high-risk, critical, low-confidence, and cross-domain work triggers bounded cross-review. Independent action graph nodes run concurrently. Codex, Claude, and OpenAI API providers support the same optional GitHub context and provider-native web research policy.

Troubleshooting

Run Orqenly: Test Connection, then inspect Orqenly: Show Logs. Configure orqenly.codexPath or orqenly.claudePath when a CLI is installed outside the system PATH.
