Roo Code — The Open-Source AI Coding Agent for VS Code

Roo Code is an open-source AI coding agent that lives directly inside VS Code, giving developers a powerful way to automate multi-step development tasks. Unlike simple autocomplete extensions, Roo Code can plan, write, test, and refactor large chunks of code with minimal supervision, acting like a junior developer that never sleeps.

Built around the idea of task-based autonomy, Roo Code lets you define a goal and watch it execute across multiple files. Because it is open source, the community constantly improves its models, tools, and workflows, making it one of the most flexible AI coding assistants available today.
