Deploy apps and agents to the cloud with natural language, right from VS Code. This extension is a companion for the prod CLI — a single Go binary that reads your project, shows you a deploy plan, and runs it against your own cloud account. No backend, no signup.

prod "deploy this to fly with a postgres"

Features

Deployments sidebar — a Prod view in the activity bar lists your deployments (name, platform, status, age) straight from the CLI's local history, refreshing automatically when a deploy finishes.
One-click actions — open the live URL, open the platform console, tail logs, roll back, or destroy a deployment from the tree's context menu.
Natural-language deploys — Prod: Deploy… asks what you want in plain English and runs it in an integrated terminal, where prod shows its plan and cost estimate for your approval. Dry-run and deploy-to-platform variants included.
Project scaffolding — Prod: New Project from Template… scaffolds the CLI's starters (agent-worker, mcp-server, nextjs, fastapi, go-api).
Safety by design — the extension never passes --yes or --delete-data. Rollback and destroy show a confirmation in VS Code and prod itself asks again in the terminal before touching anything.

Install

VS Code Marketplace / Open VSX: search for "Prod CLI" (publisher pushtoprodai), or install from the command line: code --install-extension pushtoprodai.prod-cli
From a VSIX: download the .vsix from Releases and run code --install-extension prod-cli-<version>.vsix

Requirements

The prod CLI (macOS/Linux; Windows via WSL2):

brew install pushtoprodai/tap/prod
# or:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PushtoProdAI/prod-cli/main/scripts/install.sh | sh

An LLM provider — prod parses your intent with an LLM using your own key. It checks OPENAI_API_KEY, then ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, and falls back to a local Ollama if neither is set.
Your platform credentials — prod deploys with your accounts (a Fly token, AWS credentials, vercel login, …). There is no prod account.

Run Prod: Doctor (or prod doctor in a terminal) to verify your setup.

Commands

Command	What it does
`Prod: Deploy…`	Describe a deploy in plain English; runs `prod run "<prompt>"` in the terminal
`Prod: Deploy (Dry Run)…`	Preview the plan and estimated cost without deploying
`Prod: Deploy to Platform…`	Pick a platform (Fly.io, Render, Vercel, Netlify, Heroku, AWS App Runner, Cloud Run, Azure Container Apps, Cloudflare Pages, Modal)
`Prod: Rollback…` / `Prod: Destroy…`	Pick a deployment; confirm in VS Code, then again in the terminal
`Prod: Show Deployments`	Focus and refresh the Deployments view
`Prod: Open Deployed App…` / `Open Platform Console…`	Jump to a deployment's live URL or dashboard
`Prod: Tail Logs…`	Stream a deployment's logs in the terminal
`Prod: New Project from Template…`	Scaffold a deployable starter project
`Prod: Doctor`	Check prerequisites (LLM reachable? Docker available?)
`Prod: Open Terminal`	Open prod's interactive TUI

Extension Settings

Setting	Default	Description
`prod.cliPath`	`prod`	Path to the prod CLI executable. Machine-scoped: it can only be set in your user settings — workspace settings are ignored so a repo can never redirect the extension to an arbitrary executable.

How it works

Reads are JSON (prod ls --json); anything that changes your infrastructure runs in a visible terminal so prod's own plan-approval and confirmation flow is exactly what you see and answer. The extension keeps a single reusable prod terminal.

Security

This extension launches a CLI, so it is deliberately conservative:

It never passes --yes or --delete-data; every mutating action goes through prod's own confirmation in the terminal.
prod.cliPath cannot be set by a workspace (see above), and the extension is disabled in untrusted (Restricted Mode) windows.
Deploy records read from the CLI are validated before use: control characters are stripped, flag-like names are rejected, and "Open Live URL" only opens http(s) links.

Found a security issue? Please report it privately via GitHub security advisories rather than a public issue.

Known limitations

Rollback and destroy target the most recent deployment on a platform (this mirrors the CLI's natural-language interface).
Windows requires WSL2 (a CLI constraint).
The extension does not run in untrusted workspaces — trust the folder to use it.

Development
