Crust: Pi Coding Agent Extension for VS Code

Crust is an extension for Visual Studio Code that acts as a true UI for the Pi Coding Agent.

The goal of Crust is to offer feature parity with existing similar extensions (like the Claude Code extension).

Features

Session browser — view and resume your past Pi agent sessions
IDE file/selection context — automatically attach the current file or highlighted code as context to your prompt
Command autocomplete with / — discover and insert slash commands
File autocomplete with @ — reference workspace files in your prompt without leaving the chat
Rich markdown rendering — responses render with full markdown: headings, tables, code blocks, and more
Rich diff snippets — code changes are shown as inline diffs so you can review edits at a glance

Session forking — branch off from any point in a session to explore alternative directions
Session tree browsing — visualize and navigate the full tree of forked sessions
Login/logout — manage model provider credentials directly from the extension
Change reversion — roll back file changes made during a session with a single click
Settings UI — configure Pi through a dedicated settings panel
Chat import/export — save sessions to disk or load them back into the extension
Session sharing — generate a shareable link to a session for collaboration or review

Crust requires that Pi be installed and available in your PATH.
