In practice

Written by AI from this repository’s README · medium confidence

One general chat assistant does not fit tasks as different as architecture planning and step by step debugging.

Use it when

Mainly of reference interest, since the README points current users to community forks and to Cline.

Not the right pick when

The README states the extension was shut down, so it should not be chosen for new work.

Capabilities

Code mode for everyday coding, edits and file operations
Architect mode for planning systems, specs and migrations
Ask mode for fast answers and documentation
Debug mode for tracing issues and isolating root causes
Custom modes for team specific workflows
MCP server usage

Cost: Cost not stated

Install
