Browser VS Code

The /vscode command opens the current project (or its worktree) in a real VS Code editor in your browser, served from your machine through a private tunnel. Make a quick edit from your phone or any browser without leaving Discord.

Using it

Run /vscode in a project channel or a thread. Kimaki:

Launches a browser VS Code server (Coderaft) pointed at the working directory.
Opens a private tunnel on kimaki.dev to that server.
Replies with the editor URL (ephemeral, only you see it).

   /vscode ──▶ browser VS Code on 127.0.0.1 ──▶ private tunnel ──▶ https://<id>.kimaki.dev
                                                                          │
                                                                          ▼
                                                          edit files from any browser

The URL points at the same directory the agent works in: the worktree directory when the thread has a ready worktree, otherwise the channel's project directory.

Auto-stop after 30 minutes

Each VS Code session auto-stops after 30 minutes to avoid leaving an editor exposed. Running /vscode again while a session is active returns the existing URL instead of starting a second one.

The tunnel URL is unguessable but publicly reachable for its lifetime. Treat it like a temporary secret; do not share it, and let it expire when you're done.
