LoopOps is an AI-powered development assistant for VS Code that creates a combination of local and remote Knowledge Base indexing, and SPARC & Loop workflows.
Features
- SPARC — Specify → Pseudocode → Architect → Refine → Complete with manual checkpoints
- LOOP — Direct access to coding capablities for small or minor changes, works better when specifing the file using the taggine function @ in the input box
- Local Knowledge Base — LanceDB + AST-aware chunking (Tree-sitter)
- Multi-provider chat — OpenAI, Anthropic, Google (Gemini)
- Multi-KB federation Locally and Remotely — Link external projects for cross-repo search
Requirements
- VS Code
^1.85.0 - Internet on first run (downloads
nomic-embed-text-v1.5GGUF ~140MB for local embeddings) - API key for at least one cloud provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google), configured in the LoopOps sidebar
- Mandatory: LoopOps account for workspace/project sync and cloud KB
Quick Start
- Install the extension from the Marketplace.
- Open the LoopOps view in the activity bar.
- Complete the setup wizard: sign in, choose a provider, and add your API key in settings.
- The extension creates and indexes a local Knowledge Base under
.loopops/kbin your workspace - IMPORTANT do not commit this to the repo, it automatically adds it to the . gitignore.
All settings are managed inside the LoopOps panel (not VS Code Settings). Defaults are applied on first run.
