Optibot, Now in VS Code

You can now use Agent Optibot directly inside VS Code to fix issues that show up in your GitHub pull requests — without copy-pasting, prompt engineering, or hunting for files.

What's New

• Official VS Code extension: Optibot is now available in the Visual Studio Code Marketplace as an editor extension.
• "Solve in VS Code" deep link from GitHub: Every Optibot review comment in GitHub now includes a "Solve in VS Code" link. Click it, and we'll:
  • Open VS Code.
  • Install the Optibot extension (if you don't already have it).
  • Open a chat with full context for that specific issue.
• One-click install from the PR: Engineers don't need to pre-install anything. If the extension isn't present, clicking "Solve in VS Code" on a review comment launches VS Code and prompts installation. Click Install — and you're live.
• Context-aware fixes in your editor: When the extension opens, Optibot loads the exact file, line, and review comment into VS Code's chat. It proposes a fix in-place. You can preview the diff and click "Keep" if it looks good, or edit/undo as needed. Changes are applied directly to your local branch, ready to commit back to the same PR.
• Org-aware login: When engineers sign in from VS Code using "Optibot Login", they're joined to their existing org — so all reviews, settings, and permissions stay consistent.

Why This Matters

Before this extension, fixing issues from Optibot reviews looked like:

Copy the comment → open VS Code → find the file + line → paste into chat → write a prompt → hope you got the context right.

Now it's:

Click "Solve in VS Code" → Optibot opens in your editor with full context → review & keep the fix → commit.

• Faster PR turnaround (no context juggling).
• Less prompt overhead (Optibot already knows the file, line, and issue).
• Cleaner workflow (fix, commit, re-review, ship — all from your IDE).
