Memosk is your AI-powered coding sidekick that lives in your VS Code Activity Bar. Chat, explain code, fix bugs, run tests - all with privacy-first local Ollama fallback.

🚀 Quick Start

  1. Install dependencies:
npm install
  1. Build:
npm run build
  1. Run in dev mode (F5)
  2. Load in VS Code: Extensions > ... > Install from VSIX (package after build)

Primary: cline + qwen2.5-coder:7b (best agent+model combo)

ollama pull qwen2.5-coder:7b
ollama pull cline

Alternatives:

  • opencode + qwen2.5-coder:7b
  • deepseek-coder-v2
  • codestral
  • qwen2.5-coder:14b (heavier/better)

Set memosk.defaultOllamaModel in settings.

🔌 Providers

Provider Setup Settings
Ollama (default) ollama serve memosk.ollamaHost
OpenAI API key memosk.openaiApiKey
Gemini API key memosk.googleApiKey

📱 Features

  • Activity Bar Chat (Memosk: Open Chat)
  • Explain Selection/File (Ctrl+Shift+P)
  • Improve Code (select → command)
  • Terminal/Problems Inspection (auto-capture errors)
  • Tagging (label files/terminals for context)
  • Run Tests (memosk.testCommand)
  • Streaming responses
  • Privacy: No uploads unless explicitly enabled+confirmed

🛡️ Privacy

  • Local first (Ollama)
  • Workspace files never sent without:
    1. memosk.privacy.uploadWorkspaceFiles: true
    2. Per-session confirmation dialog
  • Terminal outputs sanitized (paths/tokens stripped)

🧪 Test Checklist

  • Activity Bar shows Memosk icon
  • Chat view opens
  • memosk.ask quick input works
  • Commands: explain/improve work with selection
  • npm run build succeeds
  • F5 loads extension without errors
  • Ollama responds (with model pulled)

Troubleshooting

  • Ollama not responding: ollama serve, check http://localhost:11434
  • No model: ollama pull qwen2.5-coder:7b
  • CORS: Ensure Ollama allows browser requests
  1. Daily: cline + qwen2.5-coder:7b
  2. Heavy: gpt-4o-mini (OpenAI)
  3. Code-only: deepseek-coder-v2

Happy coding! 🚀
