Skynet for VS Code

COMPANY USE ONLY

Skynet is an internal enterprise extension. Installation and use are limited to authorized employees and approved corporate environments.

Skynet brings an enterprise coding agent directly into the Visual Studio Code sidebar. It helps authorized developers understand code, plan changes, work with repository files, and manage coding sessions without leaving the editor.

What you can do

• Chat with a coding agent in the VS Code sidebar.
• Create, resume, redirect, and stop coding sessions.
• Select an approved agent and model.
• Review native VS Code diffs and diagnostics.
• Use approved MCP and language-server integrations.
• Approve or reject sensitive tool actions before execution.
• Sign in using the corporate GitLab browser flow or a Personal Access Token.

Requirements

• Visual Studio Code 1.90.0 or newer.
• A trusted local workspace.
• An authorized corporate account.
• Access to the required internal company services.

The Marketplace package includes its own platform runtime. Users do not need to install Bun, Node.js, or an additional runtime.

Supported extension hosts:

• Windows x64 and ARM64.
• macOS x64 and Apple Silicon.
• Linux glibc x64 and ARM64.
• Alpine Linux x64 and ARM64.
• Remote development through supported WSL and Dev Container environments.

Virtual Workspaces and VS Code for the Web are not supported.

Installation

1. Open Extensions in Visual Studio Code.
2. Search for Skynet from publisher microbot-pge.

Getting started

1. Open a trusted project folder.

Skynet keeps its primary features locked until authentication succeeds.

Authentication and credentials

Browser sign-in uses OAuth Authorization Code with PKCE and a one-time callback state. The access-token option uses password-mode input.

Authentication credentials are stored in VS Code Secret Storage. They are not stored in:

• workspace settings;
• .env files;
• WebView local storage;
• session WebView state;
• extension output logs.

Use the Configure button next to Sessions to view the signed-in account, refresh the session, open the corporate GitLab profile, or log out.

Main commands

Security and privacy

• Skynet only runs in trusted workspaces.
• Sensitive tools remain subject to permission approval.
• Credentials are kept outside the WebView and workspace.
• The bundled runtime runs with the current user's permissions, not as an administrator or root user.
• Product telemetry, advertising identifiers, and third-party analytics are not added by the extension.
• Prompts and selected source context may be processed by company-approved model providers and integrations.
• Local session artifacts may be stored under the workspace .skynet directory.

Do not submit production credentials, personal data, or information that is not permitted by company policy. Always review proposed changes and permission requests before approval.

Support

This extension is supported through the company's internal Skynet support and security-reporting channels. When reporting a problem, include the extension version, VS Code version, operating system, and minimal reproduction steps.

Never include access tokens, passwords, production data, or unredacted logs in a support request.
