CommitMind for VS Code

Live CommitMind panes in VS Code and compatible editors: tasks, active task + todos, rules, and playbooks from the local daemon cache. Panels are read-only; create or change work in the dashboard or via CommitMind MCP tools.

Install: Visual Studio Marketplace · Open VSX

What you get

Open the CommitMind activity bar. Four trees:

Panel What it shows
Tasks Project tasks by phase. Click a row to open it in the dashboard.
Active Task Latest active task and its todo checklist.
Active Rules Rules in scope for the focused workspace. Click → dashboard.
Playbooks Playbooks for this project. Click → dashboard.

Data refreshes when the local cache updates (no network from the extension).

Install

  • VS Code: Extensions → search CommitMind, or use the Marketplace link above.
  • Cursor, VSCodium, Windsurf: same search; Open VSX is used where the Microsoft Marketplace is not the default.

Before it works

  1. CommitMind CLI — e.g. curl -fsSL https://commitmind.dev/install.sh | bash (installs the binary and starts the background daemon on macOS/Linux).
  2. Repo linked to a project — in your git repo: commitmind login, then commitmind init.
  3. Daemon running — check with commitmind sync status.

If something is missing, panels show short hints (e.g. run commitmind init in this folder).

Settings (commitmind.*)

Setting Default Purpose
commitmind.dashboardUrl https://commitmind.dev Base URL for “open in dashboard” links.
commitmind.cachePath (empty) Optional override for the SQLite cache path; leave empty unless you moved the daemon state directory.

Troubleshooting

  • Could not open cache / Cannot find module 'bindings' — upgrade the extension to ≥ v0.0.3 (older builds missed native dependencies).
  • Placeholder “No project” everywhere — run commitmind init in this workspace, then reload the window.
  • Stale rows after a change — wait a moment for the cache watcher, or run CommitMind: Refresh from a panel title menu.
