Install

From the Marketplace (recommended)

VS Code — search "Talos Auditor" in Extensions or install from the Marketplace page.
Cursor / VSCodium / code-server — search "Talos Auditor" in Extensions or install from Open VSX.

Via the CLI

Running talos-auditor install-extension asks the agent to install the extension into every editor CLI it finds on your PATH (code, cursor). The setup wizard offers this automatically on first run.

From a `.vsix` file (offline / pinned)

# Cursor or VS Code, same command
code --install-extension talos-auditor-vscode-0.1.0.vsix
# or Cursor:
cursor --install-extension talos-auditor-vscode-0.1.0.vsix

Prerequisites

@talos-foundrix/auditor-agent installed + logged in — the extension reads your agent token from ~/.config/talos-auditor/.agent-token.
If you haven't yet: npm i -g @talos-foundrix/auditor-agent && talos-auditor login

The extension never asks you to sign in separately — it reuses the CLI token, so you only authenticate once.

Settings

talosAuditor.apiBase — API endpoint. Change only for self-hosted or a local dev API.
talosAuditor.refreshIntervalSeconds — how often to poll. Default 60s, min 15s, max 10 min.

Commands

Available from the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P):

Talos Auditor: Open My Activity — launches the dashboard.
Talos Auditor: Refresh Status — forces an immediate poll (useful right after talos-auditor login on a new machine).
Talos Auditor: Open Talos Arcade → — opens the sibling Talos Foundrix product, Talos Arcade, in your browser.
Talos Auditor: Launch Arcade in Terminal — opens an integrated terminal named "Talos Arcade" and runs the bootstrap command. The default per-platform command is:
- macOS / Linux / WSL: curl -fsSL https://arcade.talosfoundrix.com/play.sh | sh
- Windows (PowerShell): irm https://arcade.talosfoundrix.com/play.ps1 | iex
Override via the talosAuditor.arcadeRunCommand setting if your default shell doesn't support the platform default (e.g. cmd.exe).

Privacy

The extension only reads local files (agent token) and queries one endpoint (/v1/agent/status). No telemetry, no analytics.

More from Talos Foundrix

Need a break from analytics? Talos Arcade — terminal multiplayer games (Snake Battle, Stack) sharing the same Foundrix identity. Sign in once, play anywhere. Coming soon to its own VS Code extension; for now use the Talos Auditor: Open Talos Arcade → command above to launch the web client.
