An AI coding agent inside VS Code, by VortexDQ. Agent09 reads your project, plans changes,
edits files, runs terminal commands and checks its own work, asking for your approval before
anything that changes your machine.
Install Ollama, run ollama pull qwen2.5-coder:7b, pick Ollama in Settings
Your own provider (OpenRouter, Anthropic, OpenAI and more)
Billed by that provider to your account
Pick it in Settings and sign in with OpenRouter, or paste your API key
Requests to your own provider go straight from VS Code to that provider. Your keys are stored
in VS Code's secure storage and are never sent to VortexDQ.
Features
Plan and Act modes: agree on a plan first, then let Agent09 carry it out.
You stay in control: file edits are shown as diffs, and commands need your approval
unless you choose to auto-approve them.
Works with your tools: terminal, browser, MCP servers, and project rules in .agent09rules.
Checkpoints: roll back any step.
Getting started
Open the Agent09 icon in the Activity Bar.
Click Sign in for free Agent09 models, or open Settings to choose Ollama or your own provider.
