VS Code Extension

The VS Code extension adds a custom editor for .flight files, letting you inspect recorded sessions without leaving your editor.

Installation

Install from the VS Code Marketplace by searching for AI Flight Recorder or by running:

code --install-extension AllThingsSmitty.ai-flight-recorder

Alternatively, install manually from source:

cd apps/vscode
pnpm install
pnpm run vscode:prepublish
npx @vscode/vsce package   # produces ai-flight-recorder-<version>.vsix
code --install-extension ai-flight-recorder-<version>.vsix

Or use the Extensions: Install from VSIX… command in VS Code after building.

Usage

Once installed, any .flight file you open in VS Code will display the custom timeline editor instead of raw JSON. The editor shows:

• Session metadata (label, duration, status)
• Chronological event list with type badges and timing
• Event detail panel on click
