omnexx for VS Code

A chat panel for the omnexx coding agent, in the sidebar like Cline: chat with it, have it plan, or let it run on its own for hours, and watch every step.

Needs

The omnexx CLI, version 0.6.0 or later:

npm i -g omnexx        # or: brew install yaegerbomb42/omnexx/omnexx

Set omnexx.path if it isn't on your PATH.

The chat panel

Open it from the omnexx icon in the activity bar, or press Cmd+Alt+O (Ctrl+Alt+O).

• Session stats: uptime, model turns, tokens (hover for input, output and cache hits), cost, and how full the context is.
• Modes: Act works turn by turn with you, Plan investigates and proposes a plan without editing, Autonomous starts a long run in the background.
• Approvals: Ask first shows Allow / Deny before omnexx goes outside the repo or runs a guarded command. Auto-approve goes ahead (hard-blocked commands stay blocked). Set the default with omnexx.autoApprove.
• Trajectory: the agent's step list as a timeline, with the active step's progress and what it is doing right now.
• Live log: every action, thought and note, timestamped.
• Composer: Enter sends, Shift+Enter adds a line. While the agent works, a message steers it at its next step; pause and stop sit next to the input, and Esc stops.
• Models and providers: click the model name to switch, or add an API key or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint (Ollama, LM Studio, OpenRouter…). The gear has the rest: project and user settings, the approval default, and restart.
• File paths in replies open in the editor.

The panel drives omnexx chat-server, the same session as the terminal UI, so the conversation carries over: omnexx -c in a terminal continues it.

Runs sidebar

Below the chat, Runs lists the runs started from the open folders with their milestones and tasks, and lets you watch, pause, resume or stop each one.
