Roo Code (prev. Roo Cline)

Download on VS Marketplace Feature Requests Documentation

Roo Code is an AI-powered autonomous coding agent that lives in your editor. It can:

  • Communicate in natural language
  • Read and write files directly in your workspace
  • Run terminal commands
  • Automate browser actions
  • Integrate with any OpenAI-compatible or custom API/model
  • Adapt its “personality” and capabilities through Custom Modes

Whether you’re seeking a flexible coding partner, a system architect, or specialized roles like a QA engineer or product manager, Roo Code can help you build software more efficiently.

Check out the CHANGELOG for detailed updates and fixes.

Local Setup & Development

  1. Clone the repo:

    git clone https://github.com/RooVetGit/Roo-Code.git
    
  2. Install dependencies:

    npm run install:all
    
  3. Start the webview (Vite/React app with HMR):

    npm run dev
    
  4. Debug: Press F5 (or RunStart Debugging) in VSCode to open a new session with Roo Code loaded.

Changes to the webview will appear immediately. Changes to the core extension will require a restart of the extension host.

Alternatively you can build a .vsix and install it directly in VSCode:

npm run build

A .vsix file will appear in the bin/ directory which can be installed with:

code --install-extension bin/roo-cline-<version>.vsix

We use changesets for versioning and publishing. Check our CHANGELOG.md for release notes.
