SnakeFlow: Dev Environment Manager
SnakeFlow is a VS Code / Cursor / Antigravity extension that unifies dev servers, Quality Hub (90+ checks), Docker Compose, database/ORM tools, GitHub Issues/PRs, Git workflows, and security scanning — in one sidebar and a handful of shortcuts.
Full documentation: snakeflow.pages.dev

vibe / balanced / strict.
- Docker Compose — up, down, logs, build from the sidebar.
- Database & ORM — Prisma, Drizzle, Alembic, Django, Rails, EF Core, and more — auto-detected.
- GitHub — Issues, PRs, CI with
act, branch management.
- Git — branch checkout, protected-branch guard, status bar.
