Bring OrbitWake into VS Code with secure workspace pairing, code-aware chat, and reviewed multi-file changes.
What it does
Lives in VS Code's Secondary Side Bar so Explorer stays on the left and code stays centered
Secure one-time pairing from OrbitWake Settings > IDEs
IDE token stored in VS Code SecretStorage
Ask mode keeps the last useful code editor context when the OrbitWake panel takes focus
Ask shows the file, selection size, and diagnostics count before sending context
Agent mode scans relevant workspace files and is disabled when no folder is open
Model selection for OrbitWake Auto, OpenAI, Claude, and Grok
OrbitWake Auto responses show the resolved model used
Multi-file patch proposals with native VS Code diff preview
Explicit Apply / Reject confirmation before local writes
Stale-file protection before applying a patch
Conversation, mode, draft, and model selection persist when the view is hidden
Sensitive local files such as .env, credentials, certificates, and private keys are excluded from Ask and Agent context
Revocable editor sessions from OrbitWake
Requirements
OrbitWake 0.1.3 requires VS Code 1.106 or newer because it uses the native Secondary Side Bar contribution point.
Connect
In OrbitWake, open Settings > IDEs and create a pairing code.
In VS Code, run OrbitWake: Connect IDE.
Enter the pairing code.
Open OrbitWake on the right and start in Ask or Agent mode.
Security
Pairing codes are single-use and expire after 10 minutes. Raw IDE session tokens stay in VS Code SecretStorage. Sensitive local files are blocked from Ask and Agent context. Agent mode never writes local files until you approve the patch, and OrbitWake refuses to apply a stale proposal when files have changed after generation.
