Edits project files and runs commands; it does not drive the editor's own panels.

“Explain how auth works in ~/code/app and open the main file in VS Code”
“Fix the lint errors in src and show me the diff”

BCD edits the files in your project and runs its commands. It can open a file in VS Code with the code command, but it does not click through the editor or its extensions.

• Extensions and editor panels are not controlled.

Do I need Visual Studio Code installed?
Nothing for editing files; the code command for opening files in the editor.

Does it work on Windows and Linux?
Mac: partly, Windows: partly, Linux: partly. Edits project files and runs commands; it does not drive the editor's own panels.

Which AI apps can do this?
ChatGPT (BCD is in its plugin directory), Claude (as a custom connector) and other apps that support MCP connectors, including Codex. They all use the same computer with the same permissions.

Is it safe?
A new computer starts read-only. Writing files, running commands and controlling apps are turned on per computer, and BCD reaches only the folders you allow.
