Reqly is delivered entirely as a VS Code extension and keeps product requirements, verification procedures, traceability, and linked product documents close to the code. Open a repository containing .reqly/AGENTS.md to use the parent-first requirements explorer, linked verifications, organizational folders, computed verification icons, impact queue, diagnostics, and Markdown editor assistance. Tree selections reuse VS Code's preview tab. Use the Requirements view search action to filter requirements and verifications by partial text; spaces use AND logic and matching paths are expanded automatically. Clear the search from the view toolbar. Use the Requirements view toolbar to create a root folder, or a requirement's context menu to create a folder and place that requirement in it immediately. A folder's context menu can add existing or new items through its non-normative contains relation. The Impact Queue toolbar acknowledges all stale fingerprints; a requirement action limits that acknowledgement to its subtree. Agent integrations are provided by the standalone @mrpatpat/reqly-mcp package. Removing a local artifact deletes its referenced file after confirmation. Deleting an item removes its folder and all relations to it after a separate destructive confirmation. Configuration defaults are bundled with the extension.
