AX Code for VS Code

Chat with the AX Code agent directly from VS Code — streaming responses, markdown rendering, workspace-aware context, and a model picker.

Features

  • Sidebar chat panel with streaming assistant output and markdown-rendered code blocks.
  • Editor commands for the current file or selection:
    • ax-code: Explain This File
    • ax-code: Fix This File
    • ax-code: Explain Selection
    • ax-code: Review Selection
  • Model picker over any provider configured via ax-code providers login.
  • Persistent sessions across panel reloads.
  • Terminal launcher for the full TUI experience (Cmd/Ctrl+Esc).

Keybindings

Action macOS Windows / Linux
Open chat Cmd+Shift+A Ctrl+Shift+A
