v2.3.0

Deeper editor integration: a @codeep participant in the native Chat view, a #codeepSkills agent tool, generate commit messages from the Source Control panel, a native Sessions tree, JSON validation for MCP config, and Workspace Trust support.

Also ships the editor features from the (unreleased) 2.2: Code Actions lightbulb (Explain / Improve / Add tests / Add doc comment / Fix), a status-bar model picker, a codeep.baseUrl setting for self-hosted OpenAI-compatible endpoints, and a Get Started walkthrough. See the 2.2.0 entry below for details.

Added

• @codeep chat participant. Invoke Codeep from the native VS Code Chat

view — type @codeep and ask, or use @codeep /explain and @codeep /review with a selection. Answers come from your configured Codeep provider/model (via the CLI), not VS Code's model picker. Runs on its own session, independent of the sidebar chat.

• #codeepSkills language-model tool. Exposes the workspace's Codeep skill

bundles (.codeep/skills/*/SKILL.md) to VS Code agent mode and #-references, so the native agent can discover and follow your project's own workflows.

• Generate Commit Message. A sparkle button in the Source Control title

(and Codeep: Generate Commit Message in the palette) reads your staged diff — falling back to the working-tree diff — and writes a Conventional Commits message into the commit box. It asks before replacing a message you've already typed.

• Sessions tree view. A native Sessions view in the Codeep sidebar

lists your saved conversations (title + age). Click to load one into the chat; use the inline trash to delete; the title bar has New Session + Refresh. Stays in sync with the chat panel.

• MCP config validation. .codeep/mcp_servers.json (project and global)

now gets JSON schema validation + autocomplete — catches a mistyped command/args/env before you start a session.

Changed

• Workspace Trust — the extension now declares limited support for

untrusted workspaces. Codeep runs a local agent that can edit files and run commands, so in untrusted folders you'll be reminded to review permission prompts carefully.

• Minimum VS Code raised to 1.95 — required for the stable Chat Participant

and Language Model Tools APIs.

Notes

• No new CLI requirement — 2.3.0 builds on ACP methods already in the shipped

CLI. Pure additive UI; safe upgrade with zero migration.
