TermMate Agent Guide

TermMate is an agentic coding assistant native to VS Code and Sublime Text. It connects your editor directly to Claude Code, Codex, and Pi Agent — letting you explore codebases, execute multi-file changes, and run autonomous tasks without switching windows.

Agents are tied to your current window and folder. They understand the context of your project and maintain session history across restarts — so you can pick up exactly where you left off. Switch between agent providers at any time to bring the best model for your specific task.

Setup TermMate

Install Claude Code or Codex CLI and launch your first agent session.

Directory & Projects

Set the working directory and add extra project roots for monorepos and shared libraries.

Basic Usage

Switch agents, control tool-use permissions, and enable Plan Mode for safe complex tasks.

Chat with File or Selection

Send a file or highlighted code directly into the agent context from the editor.

Work with Sessions

Clear, resume, or rewind conversations without losing your editor state.
