The VS Code extension

Already live in VS Code? The OIOXO extension brings the chat, the one-click refactors, and OIOXO’s context engine right into your editor — so you keep your setup and add OIOXO’s privacy and token-saving on top.

Install & connect

• Install: search “OIOXO” in the VS Code Extensions view and click Install.
• Open the panel: click the OIOXO icon in the activity bar, or press Ctrl/Cmd+Alt+O.
• Connect your account: run “OIOXO: Connect Account” from the command palette to sign in. A free account works right away.

What you can do

• Chat with your code. Ask questions, request changes, and let OIOXO ground answers in your project — without uploading it.
• One-click refactors. Select code, right-click, and choose Rename, Document, Simplify, or Explain — the same four you get everywhere in OIOXO.
• Review every edit. Proposed changes show a diff you approve or reject; after applying, a check tells you whether the edit still passes — no surprises.
• Write commit messages. Turn your staged changes into a clear commit message in one command.
• Choose your model. Use an on-device model, a local Ollama model, or your own provider key — your choice, your privacy.

Your other AI tools, leaner

OIOXO can wire its context engine into the AI tools you already run — so they send far less to get the same answer, cutting your token use substantially. Run “OIOXO: Set Up This Workspace” and OIOXO connects the supported tools in your project for you. The savings show live in the status bar.

Check your setup

Run “OIOXO: Doctor” any time for a quick health check — it confirms your account, connection, available models, and whether the workspace is wired up, and points you at the fix for anything that needs attention.
