Bitlyne IDE

Visual Studio Code extension for the Bitlyne agent. It develops a marketplace package, a web app, and a mobile app in the open folder. Sync refreshes the local reference library of shipped packages, versions, skills, and authoring docs.

The editor is VS Code. This extension adds the Bitlyne agent sidebar. The agent process listens at http://127.0.0.1:8789 (bitlyne.agentUrl).

Use

1. Open VS Code. The extension starts the Bitlyne agent on this machine and keeps the shipped packages in ~/.bitlyne/ide/library. Sync copies those packages onto the machine. It does not install them into the org.
2. Open the project folder in VS Code. Generated files are written under package/, client-web/, and client-rn/.
3. Open Bitlyne on the right side. The agent panel is the secondary sidebar. Chats are saved on this machine in `~/.bitlyne/ide/chats` and the previous turns are sent with the next prompt. The Package view uses the Bitlyne logo.
4. Sign in with your Bitlyne email and password, then open the org (and a profile when the org has more than one).
5. Click Sync. That refreshes ~/.bitlyne/ide/library and writes .bitlyne/ in the open folder: skills, project docs, and a catalog of shipped packages. Package source stays in the library; the agent searches it.
6. Describe the app and press Enter. Type @ to pin a shipped package as the reference for that message. Shift+Enter adds a line. When the agent writes a package, the package opens in the editor.
7. The Package view lists the package, its modules, the web app, and the mobile app. Click one to open that file beside the editor. Bitlyne: Open Package edits the package display name, the description, and module and field names, and writes those changes into the seed JSON.
8. Bitlyne: Adopt Reference Package picks a shipped package. The agent reads it and builds a new package, web app, and mobile app in this folder.

bitlyne.apiBaseUrl is the Bitlyne API (http://localhost:8080 by default). The session is stored in VS Code secret storage.

Install from a VSIX

cd newpfui/bitlyne-ide
npm install
npm run package
code --install-extension bitlyne-ide-0.5.0.vsix

Publish to the VS Code Marketplace

Publishing uses a publisher you create at Visual Studio Marketplace. The publisher field in package.json must match that id (bitlyne).

1. Create the publisher.
2. Create an Azure DevOps personal access token with the Marketplace (Manage) scope.
3. From this folder:

npx @vscode/vsce login bitlyne
npx @vscode/vsce publish

Or set VSCE_PAT and run npx @vscode/vsce publish. The same VSIX installs on Windows and Mac.
