Red Widow VS Code Extension

This extension runs the local red-widow CLI against the current workspace and surfaces the gate decision inside VS Code.

Features

• Runs red-widow gate --format json from the active workspace.
• Shows PASS, REVIEW, BLOCK, or error state in the status bar.
• Creates Problems diagnostics for blocking and review findings.
• Watches common AI IDE workflow files such as .vscode/mcp.json, .vscode/extensions.json, .cursor/rules, .cursorrules, AGENTS.md, and Windsurf config.
• Provides Red Widow: Run Gate and Red Widow: Open Last Report commands.

Local Development

Install the Python CLI first:

python3 -m pip install -e ..

Open this vscode-extension/ folder in VS Code and press F5 to launch an Extension Development Host.

When running from this repository instead of an installed CLI, set:

{
  "redWidow.cliPath": "python3",
  "redWidow.cliArgs": ["-m", "red_widow"]
}

Run a syntax check:

npm test
