# Goose for VS Code

Bring [Goose](https://goose-docs.ai/)—the open-source, on-device AI agent—directly into your editor. Chat with Goose, reference your code, and let it handle full-stack engineering tasks without ever leaving VS Code.

> **Note:** This extension is under active development. Some features may change as we continue to improve the experience. We appreciate your feedback!

## Features

### Chat with Context

Ask Goose questions about your code with full file context. Select code in your editor and send it to Goose with a single keystroke, or type `@` to search and attach any file from your workspace.

### Context Chips

Attach multiple files or code selections to your messages. Visual chips show exactly what context Goose sees, with support for both entire files and specific line ranges.

### Session Management

Pick up where you left off. Your conversations persist across VS Code sessions with full history—browse past chats organized by time and switch between sessions instantly.

### Streaming Responses

See Goose think in real-time. Responses stream token-by-token with syntax-highlighted code blocks and one-click copy.

## Requirements

- **Goose CLI 1.16.0+** — [Install Goose](https://goose-docs.ai/docs/quickstart/) and ensure `goose --version` works from your command line.
