About Deep Code

DeepCode is a VS Code extension that embeds a full AI coding agent directly into your sidebar. It goes beyond simple chat to handle real development workflows.
Key capabilities include project-level persistent sessions that retain context across days, file read/write and command execution for tasks like code understanding, documentation, and task continuity. The Skills system lets you codify team workflows into reusable capabilities.
It also supports OpenAI-compatible models for flexible integration. Designed for developers who want an AI that doesn’t just answer questions, but collaborates across the entire development lifecycle without leaving VS Code.
