A board of 3D heads inside VS Code. Each head shows the status of the local Claude Code, Codex CLI and GitHub Copilot Chat sessions that match its trigger rules.
Open the AI-Team icon in the activity bar, or run AI-Team: Start Server, Open Board or Open in Browser from the Command Palette.
Read-only: it reads session files on this computer and never writes to them.
Only derived summaries (status, a short activity label, progress, project folder name) reach the board. Prompts, replies, tool input and output, file contents and full paths do not.
The extension runs its own server on 127.0.0.1 only (setting aiTeam.port, default 5180; the next ports are tried when it is busy). It serves the board, the read-only session API and a save endpoint for the board's own heads. The VS Code tab uses postMessage instead.
Head layouts are saved in VS Code's extension storage and are shared by the VS Code tab and the browser page, so they survive closing the panel, stopping the server and restarting VS Code.
Copilot sessions are read from <VS Code user folder>/workspaceStorage/*/chatSessions and globalStorage/emptyWindowChatSessions. Set VSCODE_USER_DIR to use a different user folder.
The "AI-Team" output channel logs only start, stop, port and error lines.
