Meet Andromity, the open-source AI coding agent for VS Code

Andromity pairs natively inside your VS Code secondary sidebar or your terminal. It plans multi-file tasks, edits code, executes commands, and iterates until your tests pass, using your own API key or a local Ollama model.

AT HOME IN YOUR EDITOR

Less context switching.
More forward motion.

Your files, conversation, and execution trace in one workspace. Keep your attention on the work.

Your workflow. Your model.

A CLOSER LOOK AT ANDROMITY

From a task to changes
you can review.

See how planning, execution, and review fit together inside your existing workspace.

01 / BEFORE THE FIRST EDIT

Agree on the approach.

Use the Builder profile to turn a task into an implementation plan. Review it, approve it, or send feedback before continuing.

  • Keep the task and repository context in view.
  • Review the proposed steps before execution.

02 / WHILE THE AGENT WORKS

Follow the work as it happens.

Open the live waterfall to see tool calls, execution timings, and subagent activity. Inspect a span when you need to understand what happened.

  • Follow file operations and terminal commands on a timeline.
  • Inspect execution details alongside your workspace.

03 / WHEN IT IS TIME TO REVIEW

See the changes. Keep a way back.

Inspect additions and deletions in a native VS Code diff. If a turn takes the wrong direction, use Undo Last Turn to restore its file changes.

  • Review the actual files changed by the agent.
  • Roll back a turn without rewriting your Git history.

What is Andromity?+

Andromity is an open-source AI coding agent for VS Code and the terminal. It reads your repository, proposes a plan, edits files, and runs commands such as your tests. Folder trust and permission modes control what it may do, and you choose the model: a cloud provider with your own API key or a local Ollama model.

Is it free to use?+

Andromity is open source under the MIT license. With your own API key, your model provider sets the usage cost. You can also use Ollama locally without cloud API charges; performance depends on your hardware and model.

Which AI models does Andromity work with?+

Andromity connects to models through LiteLLM, including Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, Google Gemini, Groq, OpenRouter, NVIDIA NIM, and OpenAI-compatible endpoints. It also runs local models through Ollama. Pick a model that supports tool calling; you can switch models during a session.

Where does my code go?+

With a cloud model, the context needed for your task is sent to the provider you configure. The built-in Andromity provider routes requests through an edge gateway that forwards them without storing prompts, code, or completions. With local Ollama, inference runs on your machine. Folder trust and permission settings control what the agent can access and execute.

Can the agent run commands without asking?+

Not in an untrusted folder: there, file writes and commands are blocked whatever the permission mode. In a trusted folder, the permission mode decides how much needs approval, from SAFE, where you approve each plan, edit, and command, up to YOLO, which runs without prompts.

Can I connect my own tools?+

Yes. Andromity supports MCP servers so you can connect additional tools, plus skills and agent profiles to tailor the workflow to your project. MCP tool schemas load on demand instead of filling the prompt up front.

Evolution didn’t stop at autocomplete.

From punch cards to predictive text, developer tooling always evolved to elevate human leverage.

Install for VS Code
