YodaMan VS Code Extension

This is the first editor-native client for the YodaMan runtime.

Current MVP

  • Connects to a local YodaMan runtime.
  • Starts the runtime with the configured yodaman.runtimeCommand.
  • Shows runtime availability in the status bar.
  • Adds a YodaMan Activity Bar view with runtime, workspace, task state, and quick actions.
  • Runs workspace questions through /api/ask.
  • Searches the workspace through /api/search.
  • Queues workspace reindexing through /api/reindex.
  • Runs agent tasks through /api/agent/task.
  • Streams task events into a YodaMan output channel.
  • Opens write proposals as VS Code diffs against the real target file when it exists.
  • Sends approval or rejection to /api/agent/approve.
  • Cancels the active task through /api/agent/cancel.
  • Uses the shared YodaMan API/SSE client and protocol declarations from the repository shared/ package.

Development

  1. Start the YodaMan runtime from the repository root:

    npm start
    
  2. Open extensions/vscode-yodaman in VS Code.

  3. Press F5 to launch an extension development host.

The default runtime URL is http://localhost:3090. Change yodaman.runtimeUrl in VS Code settings if needed.

Use YodaMan: Start Local Runtime if the runtime is not already running. The default command is yodaman; change yodaman.runtimeCommand if you prefer a repo-local command such as npm start.

Task state and event history now come from the persisted runtime task history, so recent timelines can survive runtime restarts.
