A codebase-aware AI coding assistant for VS Code with multi-step execution, visual diffs, and local workspace tools.
Codor brings conversational AI and agentic task execution directly into your VS Code workspace. Instead of copying and pasting code between your browser and editor, Codor reads files, searches symbols, runs terminal commands, and applies precise file edits with interactive diff review.
⚡ What Codor Does
- Multi-Step Task Execution: Breaks down complex changes into structured steps and executes file reads, edits, and terminal checks in sequence.
- Interactive Visual Diffs: Every file edit is previewed side-by-side in your editor. You inspect and approve before changes are written to disk.
- Local Workspace Tools: Operates directly inside your open workspace using dedicated tools for searching, reading, editing, and running commands.
- Semantic Code Search: Explores code by meaning and structure through vectorized codebase indexing.
- Resilient Session History: Retains recent tool actions and execution checkpoints so you can resume interrupted tasks seamlessly.
