Agenteam for VSCode / Cursor

Send code selections from your editor to the currently focused agenteam ink-renderer input box, with file path, line range, and language metadata.

Features

Status bar — Shows Send to Ink when text is selected; click to send
Keyboard shortcut — macOS Cmd+Shift+L; Windows / Linux Ctrl+Shift+L
Context menu — When there is a selection: Agenteam: Send Selection to Ink
IDE Bridge — On activation, starts a local WebSocket on 127.0.0.1 and writes ~/.agenteam/ide/{port}.lock for ink-renderer discovery
Multi-terminal routing — With multiple ink-renderer sessions in the same workspace, snippets go only to the instance that most recently had terminal focus

How it works

Editor selection ──IDE Bridge (local WS)──► Focused ink-renderer input box
                ▲
                │  ~/.agenteam/ide/*.lock
                │
         ink-renderer (agenteam TUI)
                │
                └── Gateway WS (instances / agents / commands — not used for snippets)

Install and enable this extension (same Cursor / VS Code window)
Run agenteam in a terminal (ink-renderer connects to the IDE Bridge automatically)
Select code in the editor and send via shortcut or status bar
A paste chip appears in the ink-renderer input (e.g. [pasted src/foo.ts:12-14 · 3 lines]); edit and submit as usual

After a successful send, if ink-renderer runs in an integrated terminal, the extension may call terminal.show() to bring that panel forward.

Requirements

Component	Requirement
Gateway	Running locally; `~/.agenteam/gateway.json` present (ink-renderer uses it for instances)
ink-renderer	`@agenteam/ink-renderer` with IDE Bridge host wiring (`observeSnippets` in `ctl-command/ink-renderer.ts`)
Workspace	Extension and ink-renderer `cwd` should share the same workspace root (lock matches `workspaceFolders`)
Extension	Must be activated (otherwise no lock file)

Optional environment variables:

AGENTEAM_IDE_PORT — Force a specific IDE Bridge port (multi-window debugging)
AGENTEAM_STATE / AGENTEAM_STATE_DIR — Non-default state directory

Commands

Command ID	Description
`agenteam.sendSelection`	Send the current selection to the focused ink-renderer

Troubleshooting

“No ink-renderer connected”

ink-renderer is not running, or the extension was not active when it started (no lock file)
Workspace path does not match workspaceFolders in the lock — open the same folder in the editor and start agenteam there
Restart agenteam after updating host code so observeSnippets is wired

Send succeeds but nothing appears in the TUI

Host must implement observeSnippets + startIdeBridgeSubscriber (IDE Bridge v0.2.1+)

No reaction on older stacks

v0.2.0 and earlier used POST /api/events/snippet (Gateway broadcast). v0.2.1+ requires IDE Bridge + matching ink-renderer.

Release notes

0.2.1

IDE Bridge: local WebSocket + lock discovery; removed Gateway snippet HTTP
Multi-terminal: unicast to the ink-renderer with the latest focus_state
Lock heartbeat (updatedAt refreshed every 15s) for reliable discovery
Optional focus on VS Code integrated terminal after send

0.2.0

Gateway POST /api/events/snippet (deprecated; see 0.2.1)

0.1.0

Initial MVP: selection + file provenance metadata
