Flow Relay VS Code Extension

Flow Relay for VS Code brings async handoff generation and multi-tenant project context directly into your editor.

  • Extension id: flowrelay.flowrelay
  • Current version: 1.0.4

Key Features

  • Workspace Context sidebar panel with tenant-aware status.
  • Project-scoped workflows. (Note: Handoffs and insights generation require a project context and are processed asynchronously with automated polling).
  • Project context selector command.
  • Handoff generation from all connected sources, or via a branded visual filter panel that mirrors the Flow Relay web UI – select sources and per-source filters (resources, branches, event types, priorities) from real options, with no manual typing. The same panel drives insight generation.
  • Figma visual context: selecting Figma in the filter panel attaches rendered frame previews plus the indexed design scene (layout, texts, prototype flows) to the generation, at a flat 1-credit surcharge. Requires the project's processing region to be Global – on other regions Figma shows as unavailable with an inline explanation.
  • Handoffs list and quick open from the sidebar.
  • Integrations list in active scope.
  • Untracked resources detection – surfaces event-producing repositories, channels, and boards not scoped to any project, with quick-add to assign them.
  • Discord channel listing and message sending – type a message, or send the active project's latest handoff / correlation / onboarding / architecture artifact as a .md attachment.

Multi-Tenant Scope Behavior

The extension operates within the context of a project:

  • Project scope (personal project or organization project) is required for handoff and insight operations.
  • In organization projects, the UI adapts by role and context (owner, admin, member states).
