Sulci — AI Context Sidebar for VS Code

Access your cross-tool AI knowledge directly in VS Code. Sulci captures knowledge from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and more — then surfaces it where you code.

Features

Context Sidebar — Browse your knowledge atoms with a built-in search box
Auto-Context — Automatically queries relevant knowledge as you navigate code
Save Knowledge — Right-click any selection → "Sulci: Save Selection as Knowledge", or Cmd+Alt+J
Project-Aware — Detects your current project and scopes queries accordingly
Sulci Cloud + Self-hosted — Works with both Sulci Cloud and local instances

Quick Start

Sulci Cloud

Sign in at app.sulci.xyz
Go to Settings → API Tokens and generate a token
In VS Code settings, set:
- sulci.mode → cloud
- sulci.cloudToken → your token
The Sulci icon appears in the activity bar — you're connected

Self-hosted

The extension connects to http://localhost:8080 automatically with no extra config needed. If you use an API key, set sulci.apiKey.
