OpenChamber VS Code Extension
OpenCode AI coding agent, right inside your editor. No tab-switching, no context loss.
Like the extension? There's also a desktop app and web version with even more features.
What you get
- Chat beside your code — responsive layout that adapts to narrow and wide panels
- Agent Manager — run the same prompt across multiple models in parallel, compare results side by side
- Right-click actions — add context, explain selections, and improve code in-place
- Click-to-open — file paths in tool output open directly in your editor; edit-style results land in a focused diff view
- Session editor panel — keep chat sessions open alongside files
- Theme-aware — adapts to your VS Code light, dark, and high-contrast themes
Plus everything from the shared OpenChamber UI: branchable timeline, smart tool UIs, voice mode, Git workflows, and more.
