DigniLife AI for VS Code
AI coding assistant that works directly in your project — reads your files, runs commands, watches your terminal, and fixes errors, all with your approval.
Works like Claude Code / Cursor but powered by DigniLife AI and synced with your DigniLife account.
What You Can Do
- Chat with your codebase — ask questions, get explanations, request refactors
- Let AI fix errors — terminal errors and VS Code diagnostics are auto-detected
- AI runs commands for you — reads files, edits code, runs shell commands (with your approval)
- See AI work in real time — live narration as the AI executes each step
- Sync across devices — conversation history stays in sync between VS Code and the DigniLife web app
Key Features
Agent Mode
The AI can chain tool calls — read a file, edit it, run a test, check the output — until the task is done. You approve each write/run action before it executes.
Three approval levels:
- Manual — approve every change explicitly
- Supervised — AI runs with activity notification
- Auto — fully automatic (for trusted tasks)
Terminal & Debug Awareness
The extension watches your terminal output and debug sessions passively. The AI already knows what errors appeared before you even ask.
Inline Edit & Composer
Ctrl+K — quick scoped edit for selected code- Composer — multi-file edit plan with review before apply
Inline Code Completion
Ghost-text completions while you type, powered by DigniLife AI.
Conversations sync between VS Code and dignilife.io so you can continue on any device.
Background Tasks
Run long agent tasks without blocking your chat. Status visible in the status bar.
