🧠 LM Studio Copilot v0.1.3

Transform VS Code into an AI-powered coding environment using your local LM Studio models. Chat with your code, get intelligent suggestions, and generate projects—all while keeping your data 100% private.

✨ What It Does

🎯 Three Simple Ways to Code with AI:

  1. 💬 Ask Questions - "What does this function do?" or "How can I optimize this?"
  2. ✏️ Request Changes - "Add error handling" or "Convert to TypeScript"
  3. 🆕 Generate Projects - "Create a React app" or "Build a FastAPI backend"

🌟 Key Features

  • 🔒 100% Private - Your code never leaves your machine
  • 🚀 Real-Time Processing - Watch changes happen instantly or batch process
  • 🎯 Smart Auto-Detection - Automatically finds and opens your workspace
  • 🌍 Multi-Language Support - TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, C#, C++, Go
  • 🖥️ Cross-Platform Shell - Automatic bash-to-PowerShell conversion on Windows
  • ⚡ Zero-Input Execution - AI-generated commands execute automatically
  • 🛡️ Safe by Design - Comprehensive logging and permission controls
  • 🎨 Adaptive Themes - VS Code, Light, and Dark modes

🚀 Quick Start

  1. Install LM Studio and load any AI model
  2. Install this extension from VS Code Marketplace
  3. Start coding! Open the LM Studio Copilot panel

🆕 What's New in 0.1.3

Bug Fixes:

  • Fixed: Backend/frontend settings sync for all checkboxes

New Features:

  • Added terminal protection setting with confirmation dialog (defaults to true)

Improvements:

  • UI now uses unique IDs and settings keys for all checkboxes

Prompt Engineering:

  • ModifyIntent and NewIntent now strictly require all file content and terminal commands to be output in language-specific code blocks (e.g., bash, powershell, ```typescript). This ensures reliable parsing and safe execution of AI-generated outputs.

🖥️ Automatic Shell Intelligence

Cross-platform command magic! The AI suggests bash commands, but on Windows they're automatically converted to PowerShell and executed seamlessly:

# AI suggests these cross-platform commands
mkdir -p project/src
mv *.ts src/components/
cp package.json project/
# Windows users get PowerShell - automatically executed
New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path "project/src" -Force
Get-ChildItem -Filter "*.ts" | Move-Item -Destination "src/components/"
Copy-Item -Path "package.json" -Destination "project/"

⚡ Zero-Input Execution:

  • Commands detected and executed automatically
  • No buttons, no prompts, no interruptions
  • Real-time feedback and error handling
  • Works with complex project structures

⚙️ Smart Settings

  • 🚀 Auto-Load Projects - Opens generated projects automatically
  • 👁️ Real-Time Watch - Live updates or batch processing
  • 🎨 Theme Integration - Matches your VS Code theme perfectly
  • 🔄 Code Preservation - Choose clean output or safe backups
  • 📋 Smart Logging - Complete audit trail of all changes

🛡️ Safety & Privacy

  • 🔒 100% Local - Everything stays on your machine
  • ⚠️ Permission Control - Explicit approval for file changes
  • 📋 Comprehensive Logging - Complete audit trail
  • 💾 Smart Backups - Auto-save and dual storage
  • 🖥️ Cross-Platform Safe - Proper commands for your environment
