Loki Mode for VS Code
DEPRECATED. This extension is no longer maintained. The Loki Mode product
is now the CLI. Install it with npm install -g loki-mode (or Bun, Docker,
Homebrew) and run it from your terminal, or use the built-in web dashboard
with loki dashboard start.
This Marketplace listing is kept only as a pointer for people who find it by
search. It will not receive feature updates. The vscode-extension/ source
remains in the repository for reference, but no further functional releases
are planned.
Get started: autonomi.dev -
github.com/asklokesh/loki-mode
What Loki Mode is now
Loki Mode by Autonomi is an autonomous spec-to-product build system: give it a
spec (a PRD, a GitHub issue, an OpenAPI doc) and it runs an autonomous build
loop to a working, tested result. Its distinguishing feature is the verification
layer: it does not mark work complete until it passes deterministic quality
gates, a multi-reviewer completion council, and an evidence gate that requires
proof the tests and build actually ran and passed.
It runs as a CLI and ships with a web dashboard. There is no longer a maintained
VS Code extension surface.
Use the CLI instead
# Install (pick one)
npm install -g loki-mode
bun install -g loki-mode
brew install asklokesh/tap/loki-mode
# Build from a spec
loki start ./prd.md # from a PRD file
loki start [owner/repo#123](https://github.com/owner/repo/issues/123) # from a GitHub issue
# Check your environment
loki doctor
# Open the web dashboard (the modern replacement for this extension's panels)
loki dashboard start
Docker
docker pull asklokesh/loki-mode
loki docker start ./prd.md
