Always Click Yes (acy) — VS Code extension
Supervise a long-running Claude Code task from
VS Code: plan it, arm it, and let acy
approve each permission prompt after a short, interruptible countdown. The
extension launches acy's TUI in an integrated terminal — same UI, same keys,
one supervisor per window.
Commands
| Command |
What it does |
| ACY: Plan & Run |
start a supervisor in the workspace folder (acy run) |
| ACY: Continue Last Run |
resume the most recent run in this folder (acy run --continue) |
| ACY: Create .acy.json |
seed a project config from the acy.defaults.* settings and open it |
The ▶ acy status-bar item is Plan & Run. If a supervisor terminal is
already alive, either command reveals it instead of launching a second one.
Configuration
Run settings live in the project's .acy.json, not in flags and not in
VS Code settings — the same file a terminal acy run reads, so the CLI and the
extension can never disagree. Editing it gets IntelliSense from the bundled
schema. Example:
{
"model": "opus",
"countdown": "20s",
"maxLines": 15
}
Extension settings cover only what can't live in the project file:
acy.binaryPath — where the acy binary is. Leave empty to use the binary
bundled with a platform-specific build of this extension, or acy from
your PATH.
acy.defaults — seed values for ACY: Create .acy.json. Once the file
exists, the file is the source of truth; these are never consulted at launch.
Requirements
acy supervises a Claude Code session, so the
claude CLI has to be installed. The extension looks for it in the project's
.acy.json (claudeBin), then the acy.defaults.claudeBin setting, then your
PATH, then the usual install directories (~/.local/bin, ~/.claude/local,
Homebrew, %APPDATA%\npm) — a GUI-launched VS Code inherits the login
environment rather than a shell's, so claude is routinely off PATH even when
it works fine in your terminal. If none of those hit you get a warning at
startup, not a run that dies on its first turn.
Install
Install Always Click Yes (acy) from the VS Code Marketplace — search for it
in the Extensions view, or ext install hweeks.always-click-yes. VS Code picks
the package built for your platform, so the acy binary comes with it. (The
listing goes live with the first release published from CI.)
Or grab a .vsix from the
latest release
and install it via Extensions: Install from VSIX…. The platform-specific
packages (darwin-arm64, darwin-x64, linux-x64, linux-arm64,
win32-x64 — the last experimental) bundle the acy binary; the universal
package expects acy on your PATH or acy.binaryPath set.
What you're opting into
acy is an experiment in total trust: you make contact at the plan and at the
end, and in between the machine runs unattended, approving its own way to the
finish. Read the project README
before leaving it alone with anything you love. The veto key is s.
