Vibe Coding (VICO) --- AI Coding Agent for VS Code

Vibe Coding is an AI-powered coding assistant and autonomous agent built for developers who want more than just chat.
From inline completions to full multi-step task execution --- VICO works directly inside your workspace.

🚀 What's New in v2 (Major Update)

🤖 Agent Mode --- Autonomous Task Execution

Turn Vibe Coding into a real AI coding agent.

Agent Mode can:

• Plan tasks automatically\
• Think step-by-step before execution\
• Execute actions directly in your workspace

The agent can:

• 📄 Read files and analyze code
• ✏️ Modify files using diff-based updates
• 🆕 Create new files
• 🖥 Execute terminal commands
• 🧠 Reason per step before making changes

Example use cases:

• Refactor entire modules
• Implement features across multiple files
• Fix complex bugs with multi-step reasoning
• Run migrations or build commands

Just describe the task.
VICO handles the plan → reasoning → execution cycle automatically.

🖼 File & Image Upload Support (Multimodal Input)

You can now provide richer context to the AI.

Supported methods:

• 📂 Select files via file browser
• 📋 Paste content directly
• 🖱 Drag & drop files into chat

Use cases:

• Upload screenshots of errors
• Share design mockups
• Provide log files
• Attach documentation
• Send existing code for deeper analysis

The AI automatically includes uploaded content in its reasoning context.
