T4RS Panel — VS Code Extension
Use your T4RS AI Panel directly inside VS Code — chat, agents, artifacts, and all tools without leaving the editor.
Features
- Sidebar panel — T4RS lives in the VS Code activity bar, always one click away
- Full panel mode — expand to a full editor column for maximum workspace
- Send selection — highlight code and send it directly to chat (
Ctrl+Shift+T)
- Status bar button — quick access from the bottom bar
- Context menu — right-click any selection → "T4RS: Send Selection to Chat"
- Auto-open — optionally open T4RS when VS Code starts
- Configurable URL — point to any T4RS instance (local or remote)
Installation
Option A — Download .vsix (recommended for now)
- Download
t4rs-panel-*.vsix from the releases page or from your T4RS Panel at /install
- In VS Code, open the Command Palette (
Ctrl+Shift+P)
- Run "Extensions: Install from VSIX..."
- Select the downloaded
.vsix file
Option B — VS Code Marketplace
Coming soon. The extension will be published to the marketplace so you can install with one click.

- Open Command Palette → "T4RS: Configure Panel URL"
