Install
From the Marketplace (recommended)
- VS Code — search "Talos Auditor" in Extensions or install from the Marketplace page.
- Cursor / VSCodium / code-server — search "Talos Auditor" in Extensions or install from Open VSX.
Via the CLI
Running talos-auditor install-extension asks the agent to install
the extension into every editor CLI it finds on your PATH
(code, cursor). The setup wizard offers this automatically on
first run.
From a .vsix file (offline / pinned)
# Cursor or VS Code, same command
code --install-extension talos-auditor-vscode-0.1.0.vsix
# or Cursor:
cursor --install-extension talos-auditor-vscode-0.1.0.vsix
Prerequisites
@talos-foundrix/auditor-agentinstalled + logged in — the extension reads your agent token from~/.config/talos-auditor/.agent-token.- If you haven't yet:
npm i -g @talos-foundrix/auditor-agent && talos-auditor login
The extension never asks you to sign in separately — it reuses the CLI token, so you only authenticate once.
Settings
talosAuditor.apiBase— API endpoint. Change only for self-hosted or a local dev API.talosAuditor.refreshIntervalSeconds— how often to poll. Default 60s, min 15s, max 10 min.
Commands
Available from the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P):
-
Talos Auditor: Open My Activity — launches the dashboard.

Talos Auditor: Launch Arcade in Terminal — opens an integrated terminal named "Talos Arcade" and runs the bootstrap command. The default per-platform command is:

curl -fsSL https://arcade.talosfoundrix.com/play.sh | sh - Windows (PowerShell):
irm https://arcade.talosfoundrix.com/play.ps1 | iex

Privacy
The extension only reads local files (agent token) and queries one
endpoint (/v1/agent/status). No telemetry, no analytics.
