Tartanak Agent for VS Code

Tartanak Agent places the managed Tartanak coding agent in VS Code's Secondary Sidebar. It connects to https://cli.tartanak.com, uses the same email OTP and device authorization as Tartanak CLI, and records usage against the signed-in member's own allowance.

Install the preview VSIX

curl -fsS https://cli.tartanak.com/downloads/tartanak-agent-0.3.1.vsix -o tartanak-agent-0.3.1.vsix
code --install-extension tartanak-agent-0.3.1.vsix --force

Reload VS Code and open Tartanak in the right-side Secondary Sidebar. On VS Code 1.106 or newer, the extension contributes directly to that location. If it is hidden, use View → Appearance → Secondary Side Bar.

Account connection

Select Sign in or create account. Tartanak opens a browser with a short-lived device code. Sign in with email OTP—or create an account through the same flow—then approve the device. The refresh token is stored only in VS Code encrypted SecretStorage and can be revoked from the Tartanak dashboard.

Local tools

• Normal asks in a modal before each workspace shell command.
• Plan asks the agent to plan and track its work.
• Trusted runs workspace commands without individual approval. Use it only in trusted workspaces.

The server-side Codex brain cannot directly see the device. File, Git, test, and shell work is sent back through the authenticated extension tool bridge and runs in the first open workspace folder with the current operating-system user's permissions.

Build

npm install
npm run vscode:build
npm run vscode:package
