IDE Extension

IDE Extension

The ClawDE IDE Extension connects your editor directly to the local daemon, giving you inline AI assistance without leaving your coding environment.

Supported editors

Editor	Extension	Status
VS Code	clawde.clawde-vscode	Planned Sprint LL
JetBrains (all IDEs)	io.clawde.plugin	Planned Sprint MM
Neovim	clawde.nvim	Community — post v0.3.0
Zed	Native extension	Planned post v0.3.0

What the extension does

• Inline chat: Open a chat panel scoped to the current file or selection
• Diff preview: Proposed changes appear as inline diff before applying
• Task status: See active session status in the status bar
• Error fix: Right-click a diagnostic → "Fix with ClawDE"
• Context picker: Choose which open files go into the prompt

How it connects

The extension talks to the daemon at ws://127.0.0.1:4300 using the same JSON-RPC 2.0 protocol as the desktop app. No separate process needed — the daemon must be running.

Authentication

The extension uses the same device token as the desktop app. If the desktop app is installed, the extension reuses its token automatically.

Status

VS Code extension is Sprint LL. Requires stable RPC protocol (locked in v0.2.0) and VS Code Webview for the chat panel.
