Roo Code
AI-powered VS Code extension with multiple specialized agents for coding, debugging, and docs.
About
Roo Code was an open source VS Code extension that put a team of AI coding agents inside the editor, handling code generation from natural language, refactoring, debugging, documentation, and codebase questions. It organized work into five modes: Code for everyday editing, Architect for system planning and migrations, Ask for quick explanations, Debug for tracing root causes, and Custom for user-defined workflows, with support for MCP servers and a range of AI model providers. The project was shut down on May 15, 2026 and its GitHub repository, which had accumulated over 24,000 stars, is now archived and read-only. The README directs users to ZooCode, a community fork that continues development, and to Cline, the project Roo Code was originally forked from. The code remains available under the Apache 2.0 license, so existing installs and forks can still build on it, but there is no ongoing official maintenance.
