Tollecode for VS Code

AI coding assistant — chat, plan, and build with multiple AI providers, right inside your editor.

What it does

Tollecode brings the full power of the Tollecode agent into VS Code. Ask questions about your codebase, get the agent to refactor files, generate tests, or debug issues — without leaving your editor.

• Chat with your codebase — the agent reads files, lists directories, and understands your project structure
• PLAN and BUILD modes — PLAN mode reasons read-only; BUILD mode writes files and runs shell commands with your approval
• Multiple AI providers — Claude, GPT-4o, Gemini, Ollama, or any custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint
• Session history — conversations persist across restarts, per workspace
• Live tool visibility — watch the agent work in real time: file reads, writes, shell commands, and sub-agent spawns
• Slash commands — /mode, /model, /memory, /skills, /usage, /thinking, /clear, and more
• File mentions — type @path/to/file to reference files with autocomplete
• Workspace memory — the agent remembers project context across sessions
• Skills system — inject reusable behaviours from .md files in .agent/skills/
• Token usage tracking — per-session and all-time cost breakdowns by provider and model
