Architecture

OctoPower is a thin VSCode frontend that routes your requests to the OctoPower MCP backend:

VSCode Editor → OctoPower Extension → AWS Lambda → OctoPower MCP → 4,000+ Tools
       (UI Layer)     (Routing)      (Scenario 2)    (AI Engine)     (Execution)

• VSCode Extension: Lightweight UI, settings, and chat interface with Process Guard integration
• AWS Lambda: Scenario 2 handler normalizes IDE messages and routes to OctoPower
• OctoPower MCP: Intelligent model selection, complexity scoring, cascade execution with 44-model routing
• 4,000+ Tools: Specialized capabilities powered by OpenRouter AI models with unified pricing

Installation

1. Install from VSCode Marketplace

   • Open VSCode
   • Go to Extensions (Ctrl+Shift+X / Cmd+Shift+X)
   • Search for "OctoPower"
   • Click Install

2. Or install from .vsix

   code --install-extension octopower-0.1.0.vsix
   

Quick Start

1. Open OctoPower Chat

   • Click the OctoPower icon in the activity bar
   • The chat panel opens on the right

2. Write Your Request

   • Describe what you want: "Generate a React hook for form validation"
   • Optionally select code in the editor for context
   • Click Submit (or Ctrl+Enter)

3. Review the Output

   • OctoPower generates code using 1,000+ specialized tools
   • Shows complexity level, model used, and execution time
   • Paste directly into your editor or refine with follow-up requests

Usage Examples

Generate Code

"Generate a TypeScript function that validates email addresses using regex"
→ OctoPower generates optimized code with tests and documentation

Refactor Existing Code

Select code in editor
→ "Refactor this for performance and readability"
→ OctoPower suggests improvements with before/after comparisons

Write Tests

Select a function
→ "Generate comprehensive unit tests with edge cases"
→ Full test suite with 100% coverage

Security Audit

"Analyze this code for security vulnerabilities"
→ OctoPower identifies risks and provides fixes

Settings

Open OctoPower Settings from the chat panel:

• API Endpoint — Lambda Scenario 2 endpoint URL
• Model — Auto (default) or manual selection
• Complexity Threshold — Control task routing
• Timeout — Request timeout in seconds
• Theme — Light/Dark/System (follows VSCode theme)
• History — Enable/disable chat history

Parity with Claude MCP

OctoPower provides feature parity with Claude MCP:

Performance

OctoPower uses intelligent model selection:

• Simple tasks (< 40 complexity) → Fast, economical models (800-950ms)
• Standard tasks (41-90 complexity) → Production-grade models (950-1500ms)
• Complex tasks (91-100 complexity) → Best-in-class models (1800ms)

Average response time: 1-3 seconds

Troubleshooting

"Failed to connect to Lambda"

• Check your API Endpoint in settings
• Verify AWS credentials and network access
• Ensure Scenario 2 Lambda is deployed

"Request timed out"

• Increase timeout in settings (default: 30s)
• Try a simpler request to verify connectivity
• Check Lambda CloudWatch logs

"Complex task takes too long"

• OctoPower uses more capable models for complex tasks
• This is normal behavior — lower complexity threshold if needed
• Consider breaking tasks into smaller requests

"Wrong model was used"

• Click "Settings" in chat
• Set Model to specific choice if needed
• Default is "Auto" (recommended for optimal performance)

Requirements

• VSCode 1.75.0 or later
• Network connection to AWS Lambda
• Valid API endpoint configuration

Architecture Reference

OctoPower is built on the 3-Scenario Architecture:

1. Scenario 1: Claude Code CLI access
2. Scenario 2: Multi-IDE Support (VSCode, JetBrains, Sublime, Neovim, VS2022)
3. Scenario 3: Standalone REST API

This extension implements Scenario 2 — Multi-IDE Support.
