Convene Quorate's multi-agent AI review
council on your current change without leaving the editor. The extension drives
your installed quorate CLI, reads its --json report, and surfaces every finding
as an editor diagnostic with the single PASS / WARN / FAIL verdict in the status bar.
Requirements
npm install -g quorate # the extension shells out to this CLI
Requires Node ≥ 22 and a git repository with a base branch to diff against.
Use
Run Quorate: Review Current Changes from the Command Palette (or click the
⚖ Quorate status-bar item).
Findings appear in the Problems panel and as squiggles on the offending lines;
the status bar shows the verdict ($(check) PASS / $(warning) WARN / $(error) FAIL).
Quorate: Clear Findings removes them.

How it works
The extension spawns quorate review --base <baseBranch> --json in the workspace
root, parses the final NDJSON line (the full CouncilReport), maps findings to a
DiagnosticCollection, and shows the verdict. No engine code is duplicated — the
review runs entirely in the Quorate CLI, so it uses your .quorate.yml council
(local agent CLIs, type: api model endpoints, and the always-on heuristic).
