Launch and manage every AI coding CLI from one VS Code panel.
F1 turns VS Code into a hub for AI coding agents. Open Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, Cursor, Kiro, Kilo Code, OpenCode, Grok, Antigravity — or any custom CLI — in embedded terminals, switch between them instantly, write better prompts, and keep your project's context cheap to load for every agent.
