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

From this folder:

npm run test
npm run lint

To package (optional):

npm run package
