Deepclario for VS Code
Improve the prompts you write for AI — right inside your editor. Select the
text, run Improve Prompt, and Deepclario scores it, asks one quick
question if something's missing, and hands back a clearer rewrite you can
drop straight in.
Works with prompts anywhere in your editor: a .prompt file, a system
prompt in code, a comment, a markdown doc — anything you'd paste into
ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini.
Usage
- Select the prompt text.
- Run Deepclario: Improve Prompt from the Command Palette, the editor
right-click menu, or the shortcut ⌘⌥I / Ctrl+Alt+I.
- If Deepclario needs one detail, it asks; answer or press Esc to let it
assume.
- Review the rewrite, then Replace selection or Copy.
Free vs Pro
- Anonymous — works with zero setup (rate-limited by IP).
- Free account — 25 rewrites/month. Run Deepclario: Connect Account,
grab your code from deepclario.com/extension/connect,
and paste it. The code is stored securely via VS Code's secret storage.
- Pro — unlimited. Upgrade at deepclario.com/pricing.

How it works
A thin client over Deepclario's public analyze API
(POST /api/anon/analyze). The prompt-improvement engine, rate limiting,
accounts, and billing all live server-side and are shared with the web app
and browser extension. The connection token uses the same dc_ flow as the
browser extension.
