title: Browser VS Code
description: Open the current project or worktree in a full VS Code editor in your browser, tunneled from your machine.
icon: lucide:code
---

The **`/vscode`** command opens the current project (or its [worktree](/docs/worktrees)) 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:

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

```diagram
   /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.

<Aside>
  <Warning>
    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.
  </Warning>
