dscli.vscode

The dscli VSCode extension integrates dscli’s AI programming capabilities into VSCode, providing a conversational coding assistant experience.

The extension is a lightweight UI layer — all intelligence (conversation, tool calling, project context, skills) is provided by the dscli CLI backend.

Features

• Conversational AI chat — talk to DeepSeek directly in the editor panel
• Streaming output — responses render word by word, interruptible at any time
• Markdown rendering — code blocks, bold, italic, inline code
• File analysis — one click to send the current file or selected code to the AI
• Secure credential management — API keys stored in VSCode SecretStorage, never written to disk

Installation

1. Install the dscli CLI: go install github.com/dscli/dscli@latest
2. Get a DeepSeek API key at platform.deepseek.com
3. Install the extension from the .vsix package
