Installation

The extension is not yet published on the VS Code Marketplace. Install it by building a .vsix package from source.

Package from Source

git clone https://github.com/microsoft/ai-engineering-coach.git
cd ai-engineering-coach
npm install
npm run package

This produces a .vsix file in the project root.

Install the .vsix

From the command line:

code --install-extension ai-engineer-coach-*.vsix

Or open the Extensions panel in VS Code, click the ... menu, choose Install from VSIX..., and select the file.

Development

To run the extension in development mode instead, use npm run build and press F5 in VS Code to launch the Extension Development Host.

Opening the Dashboard

After installation, open the Command Palette and run:

AI Engineer Coach: Open Dashboard

You can also click the AI Engineer Coach icon in the Activity Bar (sidebar) if it appears there.

Configuration

AI Engineer Coach works out of the box with sensible defaults. Optional settings are available under aiEngineerCoach.* in VS Code settings to control cache behavior, date ranges, and workspace filtering.
