Paseo for VS Code (Unofficial)

Unofficial, third-party, community-built extension. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Paseo. Use at your own discretion.

Chat with and manage your local AI coding agents — Claude Code, Codex, GitHub Copilot, OpenCode, and Pi — without leaving VS Code. The extension embeds the Paseo app in a side panel and connects to the Paseo daemon running on your machine.

Features

• Auto-opens your workspace. Opens the Paseo workspace that matches the folder you have open in VS Code — including the exact git worktree when you open a worktree directory.
• Drag files to mention them. Drag a file from the Explorer or your OS file manager into the chat. Hold Shift while dropping to insert it as an @-mention instead of attaching or opening it.
• Full agent chat & management — start agents, follow their turns, review and reply, all inside the editor.

Requirements

• A running Paseo daemon on your machine (or reachable over your LAN). The extension discovers it from ~/.paseo/config.json, or set paseo.endpoint (e.g. 127.0.0.1:6768).
• Socket/pipe daemon targets are not supported in VS Code v1 — use a TCP endpoint.
• For Remote SSH / WSL, install the extension on the remote host so it can reach the daemon and ~/.paseo state there.

Commands

• Paseo: Open — open the Paseo panel.
• Paseo: Set Daemon Password / Paseo: Clear Daemon Password.
