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 This extension is no longer maintained.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

Note: Google Gemini support was deprecated and its runtime removed in a later release. It is no longer a supported provider.
