Okami is an AI coding agent that reads your project before it writes and
works in your own repo. This extension brings Okami into VS Code — chat
with the agent, manage sessions, and track your progression, all without
leaving the editor.
Requires the okami CLI. The extension runs turns through the
local okami binary (it never talks to any server directly), so you
need the CLI installed and logged in first — see Getting started.
Sign in once — the extension reuses these credentials:
okami login
Open Okami from the activity bar (the wolf icon) and start a chat.
Run it from inside a git repo so Okami has a project to work in.
Full walkthrough — CLI usage, headless runs, and more — at
okamiforge.dev/docs.
Features
Chat in the sidebar — talk to Okami from the activity bar. It
streams its narration, tool calls, and diffs as it works.
Command approval, your call — every command Okami wants to run
shows an in-chat Approve / Deny prompt. Flip on okami.autoApprove
once you trust a flow.
Sessions — your recent sessions live in a tree view; reopen or
delete them, or start a fresh chat any time.
Journey — a dedicated panel with your level, XP, class, streak,
and today's daily/weekly quests. Open it from the chat toolbar or the
Okami: Open Journey command; a status-bar chip shows your level at a
glance.
Quest & level-up toasts — finish a quest or level up mid-turn and
Okami lets you know.
Project memory & wiki — view (and generate) the .okami memory
that teaches every agent your project's architecture and conventions.
Feedback — send an idea, a bug, or a note straight to the team.
