PortMem for VS Code

See what PortMem found in a draft, in a panel beside your editor and terminal.

PortMem checks documents written with AI against the source documents they rely on. When your AI assistant reviews a draft with PortMem, for example Claude Code in VS Code's terminal, the review opens in the PortMem panel on the right side of VS Code:

• what the draft gets wrong, what the sources do not confirm, and what it leaves out, each with the source passage that decides it
• the statements that check out
• for a revised draft, which findings it resolved

From the panel:

• Fix in the terminal puts the findings you ticked into your assistant's prompt in the terminal. Nothing is sent until you press Enter.
• Marked copy (.docx) saves the draft with each finding as a Word comment to your Downloads folder.
• Open in PortMem opens the review in the PortMem console, where you sign off.

Getting started

1. Install the extension. PortMem appears in the right side bar (VS Code 1.106 or later; earlier versions show it in the left side bar).
2. Choose Sign in to PortMem. The sign-in opens in your browser. Check that the code there matches the one in the panel, then confirm.
3. Connect your AI assistant to PortMem (setup guide) and ask it to review a draft with PortMem. The review opens in the panel when it finishes.

You need a PortMem account: sign up at portmem.com.

Privacy

The extension reads only your own PortMem reviews, with your own sign-in. It reads nothing from VS Code: no files, no editor text, no terminal output. It writes to the terminal only when you choose Fix in the terminal, and then it only pastes. Your session is kept in VS Code's secure storage.
