Unified Configuration Management

The extension provides a unified sidebar to manage all your AI tool configurations:

Global Configuration Scans and displays global configuration directories and files in your home folder:

• AI Tool Directories: ~/.claude/, ~/.gemini/, ~/.cursor/, ~/.aider/, ~/.roo/, ~/.cline/, ~/.trae/, ~/.codeium/, ~/.openai/, ~/.codex/, ~/.github/, ~/.windsurf/
• Universal Standards: ~/.mcp/, ~/.skills/, ~/.agents/, ~/.well-known/
• Config Files: ~/.claude.json

Projects

• Project Registration: Automatically reads projects registered in Claude Code (~/.claude.json) and Gemini CLI (~/.gemini/projects.json), merged and deduplicated by path
• Per-Project Files: Scans each project for AI tool directories and config files including CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md, AGENT.md, .cursorrules, .roorules, .windsurf.json, .aider.conf.yml, and more

The view title dynamically shows the current environment (e.g., "⚡ Windows", "⚡ WSL (Ubuntu)") and provides a toolbar button for quick environment switching.

Context Menu

Right-click on any item in the tree view to access quick actions:
