WorkerMill for VS Code
The open-source operations layer for AI coding agents — plan, execute, review, and ship from your editor.
What It Does
WorkerMill orchestrates AI coding agents to build features, fix bugs, and complete tasks across your codebase. The extension gives you real-time visibility and control over the entire process.
- Create tasks from the sidebar — describe what you want built, or run issues from Jira, Linear, or GitHub Issues
- Watch AI experts work — real-time log streaming, live code changes as they happen
- Multi-persona execution — specialized AI workers (frontend, backend, DevOps, QA, security) collaborate on complex tasks
- Quality gates — pre-commit checks and CI enforcement before any code merges
- Tech lead review — AI code review with approval/revision loops
- Product builds — decompose a spec (.md file) into a full board of stories, then execute them all
