@inspecto-dev/ide is the IDE extension for Inspecto, currently supporting VS Code, Cursor, and Trae.
Overview
This extension acts as the receiver for requests initiated from the browser via the Inspecto overlay. It listens for custom protocol URIs (e.g., vscode://inspecto.inspecto/send) and routes the context to the configured AI assistant strategy.
Core Implementation
URI Handler: Registers a vscode.window.registerUriHandler to catch incoming payloads containing file paths, code snippets, and generated prompts.
Strategy Pattern: Dispatches the payload to different AI tools:
Copilot: Integrates with GitHub Copilot Chat via workbench.action.chat.open.
Claude Code: Integrates with Anthropic's Claude Code extension.
Native IDE Chats: Supports Cursor Chat and Trae Chat natively.
CLIs: Supports CLI tools like Claude Code CLI, Coco CLI via terminal spawning.
Fallback Chain: Each strategy defines a series of channels (API, Deep-link, CLI, Clipboard). If one channel fails, it seamlessly falls back to the next, ultimately guaranteeing the context reaches the user's clipboard at a minimum.
IDE Detection: Auto-detects the running IDE (VS Code, Cursor, or Trae) to optimize dispatch logic.
Dynamic Configuration: Supports configuration overrides and auto-send features provided via local .inspecto/settings.local.json file.
