ECA vscode
A Visual Studio Code extension that adds AI pair programming through Editor Code Assistant (ECA), connecting to an external eca server for chat, code rewriting, inline chat and context management, with commands to sandbox the server process.
ECA vscode is a VS Code extension client for Editor Code Assistant (ECA), an AI pair-programming system. It connects to an external eca server, which the extension can download and manage automatically, and exposes commands to add context to the chat's system prompt, rewrite a selected piece of code from a prompt, and run an inline chat that streams an answer into a comment thread at the cursor, with follow-ups, stopping and tool-call approvals handled in that thread.
The eca server can be run inside a sandbox such as Docker, Podman or bubblewrap by pointing the extension's server path setting at a wrapper script, with a setting to stop sending the VS Code process ID when the sandbox hides or remaps the host PID.
Building the extension's webview from source requires cloning its eca-webview submodule and running a local Vite dev server before launching the extension in debug mode.
