Roo Code is an autonomous AI coding assistant for Visual Studio Code that executes complex engineering tasks through direct terminal access and file-system manipulation. It operates as a specialized agent capable of managing the full development lifecycle within the IDE environment.

• Executes terminal commands to install dependencies, run builds, and manage database migrations.

• Edits source code using precise diffs to implement features or resolve bugs across multiple files.

• Utilizes the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to integrate custom tools and external server resources.

• Performs browser-based testing via Playwright to verify UI changes and debug front-end regressions.

• Integrates with Anthropic Claude 3.5 Sonnet, OpenAI-compatible APIs, and local models through Ollama.

• Compatible with any VS Code-based environment including GitHub Codespaces and Cursor.

• Automating boilerplate generation and complex architectural refactoring in legacy codebases.

• Debugging full-stack applications by analyzing runtime logs and applying fixes in a continuous loop.

Install the extension via the VS Code Marketplace and configure an LLM provider to begin.
