# OpenClaude VS Code Extension
A practical VS Code companion for OpenClaude with a project-aware **Control Center**, predictable terminal launch behavior, and quick access to useful OpenClaude workflows.
## Features
- **Real Control Center status** in the Activity Bar:
- whether the configured `openclaude` command is installed
- the launch command being used
- whether the launch shim injects `CLAUDE_CODE_USE_OPENAI=1`
- the current workspace folder
- the launch cwd that will be used for terminal sessions
- whether `.openclaude-profile.json` exists in the current workspace root
- a conservative provider summary derived from the workspace profile or known environment flags
- **Project-aware launch behavior**:
- `Launch OpenClaude` launches from the active editor's workspace when possible
- falls back to the first workspace folder when needed
- avoids launching from an arbitrary default cwd when a project is open
- **Practical sidebar actions**:
- Launch OpenClaude
- Launch in Workspace Root
- Open Workspace Profile
- Open Repository
- Open Setup Guide
- Open Command Palette
- **Built-in dark theme**: `OpenClaude Terminal Black`
## Requirements
- VS Code `1.95+`
- `openclaude` available in your terminal PATH (`npm install -g @gitlawb/openclaude`)
## Commands
- `OpenClaude: Open Control Center`
- `OpenClaude: Launch in Terminal`
- `OpenClaude: Launch in Workspace Root`
- `OpenClaude: Open Repository`
- `OpenClaude: Open Setup Guide`
- `OpenClaude: Open Workspace Profile`
## Settings
- `openclaude.launchCommand` (default: `openclaude`)
- `openclaude.terminalName` (default: `OpenClaude`)
- `openclaude.useOpenAIShim` (default: `false`)
`openclaude.useOpenAIShim` only injects `CLAUDE_CODE_USE_OPENAI=1` into terminals launched by the extension. It does not guess or configure a provider by itself.
## Notes on Status Detection
- Provider status prefers the real workspace `.openclaude-profile.json` file when present.
- If no saved profile exists, the extension falls back to known environment flags available to the VS Code extension host.
- If the source of truth is unclear, the extension shows `unknown` instead of guessing.
## Development
