H1VE — VS Code Extension
See your current branch's feature state — right inside VS Code — from H1VE, the
governance & memory layer for teams building with AI.
As your team ships with AI (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot), context and decisions drift. H1VE keeps every
feature aligned; this extension surfaces the branch's feature at a glance in the sidebar: stage, blockers,
sign-offs, and the spec — no context switch to the dashboard.
Read-only companion to the CLI nf and the
MCP server.

Setup
Already using the CLI? If you've run nf login in a terminal, the extension uses that credential
automatically — zero paste, nothing to configure. Just open the H1VE panel (the hive icon in the
activity bar) on a feature branch.
Otherwise, the panel shows a "Connect to H1VE" welcome with a button. Or, manually:
- API key: run the command "H1VE: Set API Key" — stored in the VS Code SecretStorage, never in
settings. Use a PAT (
nf_pat_… from app.h1ve.org/api-tokens).
h1ve.apiUrl (User/Machine settings — scope machine, default https://app.h1ve.org): on purpose it
is not overridable by a repo's .vscode/settings.json, so a repository can't redirect where your API
key is sent (OP-12).
The "Branch feature" tree refreshes every h1ve.refreshIntervalSeconds (30s default), on config change,
and via "H1VE: Refresh".

H1VE: Set API Key |

The extension resolves the feature from your current git branch (the branch_slug recorded by nf start).
It's read-only — to act on features (start, move, spec, done), use the CLI/MCP.
