Screenshots

Bookmarks — files, lines, and commands in the sidebar

Shell — a command bookmark with parameters

AI memory — workspace-wide or user-wide rules the AI follows

Secrets — Bitwarden access for this workspace, used through references you define

Unlock — Bitwarden login, display PIN, and deploy on this PC

What it does

• Keeps the working set of a project together: files and lines, frequent texts, commands with parameters, URLs, AI prompts, clipboard snippets, shell commands, workflows, and cursor positions
• Shares that project information through the Git repo
• Gives the AI instructions that apply workspace-wide or user-wide, in VS Code, Cursor, and Antigravity
• Lets the AI manage Bitwarden access for this code through references you define, after you unlock the session
• Organizes those entries in categories in the sidebar, including multi-root workspaces

Who it's for

• People who keep project URLs, commands, texts, and AI rules in tabs, notes, and chats
• Teams who want that project information in the Git repo, and access in Bitwarden

Quick Start

1. Install the extension and open any VS Code workspace
2. Click the Code Spots icon in the Activity Bar — or press Ctrl+Alt+B
3. Right-click a file in the Explorer → Code Spots: Add to Category to create your first bookmark

Key Features

Bookmark types

Team & Personal Storage

• Shared — .csvs/shared.json, committed with your code so the team shares the same bookmarks
• Personal — .csvs/personal.<hash>.enc.json, encrypted with a per-developer data key (XSalsa20-Poly1305). The same display PIN wraps that key in this editor. A PIN change leaves the file unchanged. A lost PIN cannot be created again. Committed but unreadable to others; identity derived from OS username and machine ID (not Git config)

Categories

Organize bookmarks in named categories. Use the 15 built-in defaults or define your own. Assign files via drag-and-drop or the Assign Files panel.

Secrets Vault

Open Secrets from the sidebar and turn the connection on from that screen. Collections apply to this workspace, and the display PIN stays in this editor. Overlay auto-lock hides Secrets and does not drop the Bitwarden session. Idle drops only this editor’s unlock key.

Export / Import

Share or back up the full bookmark set with Export (Ctrl+Alt+E). Import is available in Trial/Pro/Team (Ctrl+Alt+I).

Licensing & Free limits

Code Spots runs in Free mode by default (no activation required). Free has soft limits: existing items remain usable, but creating new ones is blocked after the limit.

• URL bookmarks: 10
• Shell command bookmarks: 10
• AI Clip bookmarks: 10
• Workflow bookmarks: 5
• Vault secrets: 3

Trial/Pro/Team remove these limits and unlock features like Import, encrypted personal storage, and global (cross-workspace) storage.

Repair & Diagnose

Built-in commands recover from Git merge-conflict markers and inspect storage state.

Why it's different

Code Spots keeps the working set of a project in one place: files and lines, frequent texts, commands with parameters, URLs, AI prompts, clipboard snippets, shell commands, workflows, and cursor positions. That project information is shared through the Git repo. Personal items stay encrypted, protected in Bitwarden, and in sync for the team.

The AI receives instructions, workspace-wide or user-wide, in VS Code, Cursor, and Antigravity, and is meant to follow them.

The AI manages access in Bitwarden for your own code. On deploy, after you unlock the session, it uses references you define. Without that unlock the credentials stay closed. No other AI currently offers this for your own code.

Commands

Settings

Troubleshooting

Sidebar is blank after install → Run Code Spots: Reveal Sidebar (Ctrl+Alt+B) to focus the view.

Bookmarks missing after a Git pull → Run Code Spots: Repair Bookmarks — it resolves merge conflict markers in .csvs/shared.json.

Storage looks wrong → Use Code Spots: Diagnose Storage to inspect the current state of shared and personal storage.

Secrets vault locked / PIN forgotten → Unlock with the Bitwarden master password and a new PIN (at least 4 characters). There is no Forgot PIN and Diagnose Storage does not clear the PIN.

Privacy & Data Handling

Code Spots does not send telemetry or workspace content to any external service.

See PRIVACY.md for the full statement.
