Breck Chat is a VS Code extension that provides two main features:
Quick access to Breck package documentation through natural language prompts
A visual GUI for running Breck CLI commands
Requirements
Authentication via a Striven asset to use the Chat feature.
The breck CLI on your PATH to use the command runner (installed with your Breck project's dependencies).
Features
Documentation Search
To find docs, simply write @breck /docs <your prompt>.
Breck CLI Command Runner
Run Breck CLI commands (generate, model, module, update) from a user-friendly GUI:
Open a Breck workspace
Open the Miles Development Tools view in the activity bar
In the Commands tree, expand generate and pick a schematic, expand model and pick a subcommand, or click module/update
Fill out the form with your options; a live command preview updates as you type
Click "Run" (or "Dry Run" for generators) to execute the command in a task terminal
The command list and every form field come from breck --schema-json, so the UI always matches your installed CLI. Array-type fields accept comma-separated values.
Common Issues
No commands showing:
Make sure the breck CLI is installed and on your PATH
Verify the packages are installed (npm install) so schematic inputs can be discovered
