Quick Start

First Launch

Open your project in VS Code or Cursor.
Press Ctrl+Alt+M — the extension auto-detects the project name and package manager from your workspace.

Configure servers via the main menu → Manage Servers, or add them directly to .vscode/settings.json:

"devManager.project.servers": [
  { "id": "web", "label": "Frontend", "command": "npm run dev", "path": "", "port": 3000 }
]

Press Ctrl+Alt+S to start all configured servers.
Open the sidebar — click the SnakeFlow icon in the Activity Bar to see Quality Hub, GitHub Issues, Pull Requests, and Git Branches panels.

Where Settings Live

All SnakeFlow settings are standard VS Code settings under the devManager.* namespace.

Two ways to edit them:

Ctrl+, → search @ext:vaulttec-dev.snakeflow-dev-manager → use the graphical Settings UI
Edit .vscode/settings.json in your project directly (workspace-level settings are project-specific)
Command Palette → SnakeFlow: Open Settings (.vscode/settings.json) — creates the file if missing and opens it in the editor

Documentation site: Command Palette → SnakeFlow: Open Documentation (opens this site in your browser).

Keybindings

Default shortcuts use Ctrl+Alt+<letter> (see package.json → contributes.keybindings). You can change any binding in Keyboard Shortcuts (search for SnakeFlow).
