ExpxAgents — AI Squad Orchestration for VSCode

Multi-CLI chat interface with Claude Code, OpenCode, Gemini CLI and OpenRouter — plus full AI squad orchestration, all from within VSCode.

Features

Multi-CLI Chat

Open a chat tab (Cmd+Shift+L) and interact with multiple AI CLIs from one place:

• Claude Code — Anthropic's coding agent
• OpenCode — Open-source coding agent
• Gemini CLI — Google's coding agent
• OpenRouter — Access 100+ models (GPT-4o, Gemini, DeepSeek, Llama, Mistral...)
• Auto Mode — Automatically routes your prompt to the best CLI based on task type

Smart Routing

In Auto mode, the extension classifies your prompt and routes it:

• Analysis tasks (review, explain, debug) -> OpenCode
• Creation tasks (create, implement, build) -> Claude Code
• General tasks -> OpenCode (free)

Squad Orchestration

Create and run multi-agent squads directly from VSCode:

• Visual squad tree with real-time status
• YAML intellisense for squad.yaml (autocomplete, validation, go-to-definition, hover)
• Run squads via slash commands (/my-squad)
• Agent output appears as WhatsApp-style chat bubbles with avatars
• Interactive checkpoints with approve/reject

Chat UI

• Neural network animated background
• WhatsApp-style messages with CLI/agent avatars
• Markdown rendering with syntax highlighting
• Streaming responses in real-time
• Thinking animation while waiting
• Slash commands for squads and CLI commands
• Multiple chat tabs

OpenRouter Integration

• Searchable model picker with pricing
