Retort ships editor extensions for three IDEs. Each integrates with the Retort framework running in your terminal, surfacing commands, status, and (where supported) AI context injection directly inside your editor.
| IDE | Extension | Status |
|---|---|---|
| VS Code | VSIX via Marketplace / manual | Available |
| JetBrains | Plugin via Marketplace / local install | Available |
| Zed | Extension via Zed extension registry | Available |
All extensions require Retort to be installed in your project:
# Verify Retort is present
cat .agentkit/spec/project.yaml # must exist
pnpm -C .agentkit retort:sync # ensure generated files are up-to-dateThe extension activates automatically when .agentkit/ is detected at the
workspace root. No manual configuration is needed for basic usage.
