ProjectMind AI — VS Code Extension
The AI engineering platform that already knows what tools you have.
ProjectMind AI automatically discovers your AI environment, learns from your codebase over time, and brings multi-agent code review, intelligent task routing, cost tracking, and autonomous code editing directly into VS Code.
What it does
When you open a project with ProjectMind:
- Scans your environment — detects your API keys, local Ollama models, MCP servers, and other AI tools automatically. No manual configuration.
- Builds a capability matrix — decides which model is best for coding, security review, documentation, reasoning, etc. based on what you actually have.
- Shows a live sidebar — Brain, Git Intelligence, Cost tracking, and Execution Plans update as you work.
- Runs multi-agent reviews — 3 specialized agents (Architect, Security, Quality) review code in parallel and synthesize a single verdict.

Getting started
1. Install the extension
Search "ProjectMind AI" in the VS Code Extensions panel, or install from the command line:
code --install-extension aaravkhanal.projectmind
2. Start the backend
The extension connects to the ProjectMind backend running locally. Clone the repo and start it:
git clone https://github.com/Aaravkhanal/llm-reviewer
cd llm-reviewer
.venv/bin/uvicorn backend.api.main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000 --reload
Or with Docker:
docker compose up
3. Open a project
Open any project folder in VS Code. Click the ProjectMind brain icon in the Activity Bar — the sidebar loads automatically.
4. Discover your environment
Press Cmd+Shift+P → ProjectMind: Discover AI Environment
The extension scans your machine and shows:
- Which editor/IDE you're running
- Which API providers were detected (from environment variables)
- Which local models are running (Ollama, LM Studio, etc.)
- Which MCP servers are configured
- The routing table: which model handles each task type
