🌉 Silknet for VS Code & Cursor

Connect your code editor directly to active Browser AI tabs (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini).

Silknet gives you a zero-cost, privacy-first bridge to your frontier web AI accounts without paying for multiple API keys or risking rogue autonomous terminal calls.


✨ Features

  • 🟢 Live Browser Tab Detection: Automatically detects open ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini tabs in Chrome, Edge, and Brave.
  • 🔒 Human-in-the-Loop Approval Barrier: Every query from terminal scripts or local AI requires your explicit permission before consulting the browser.
  • 🛑 Emergency Stop / Killswitch: Instantly halt ongoing browser AI generation with one click.
  • 🛡️ Privacy & Redaction Shield: Automatically scrubs local Windows/Unix paths, usernames, and secret API keys before sending prompts.
  • 📋 Editor Integration: Grab highlighted code directly from your editor with one click and insert solutions straight back into your code.
  • 🎯 Flexible Prompt Modes: Clean/Direct, Code-Only (no fluff/yap), Debug & Architect, or Custom Guardrails.

🚀 Getting Started

  1. Make sure the Silknet local server is running (npm start or run start-bridge.bat).
  2. Have the Silknet browser extension loaded in Chrome, Edge, or Brave.
  3. Open any tab to ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini.
  4. Open the Silknet tab in your activity bar and start asking questions!
