Use Reasoning from the VS Code Terminal

Add terminal output to Chat or prepare a request to explain, fix, or generate a command.

Add terminal output to Chat

Open the terminal context menu and run AI Cockpit: Add Terminal Content to Context. The available content is attached to the next prompt.

You can also type @terminal in Chat. State which command produced the output and what you expected to happen.

Explain or fix a command

Use AI Cockpit: Explain This Command to prepare an explanation of the selected command. Use AI Cockpit: Fix This Command when a command failed and the available terminal context is sufficient to diagnose it.

Use AI Cockpit: Generate Terminal Command when you want Reasoning to prepare a command from a description.

Review every generated or corrected command before running it. A shell command can modify files, use credentials, or affect services outside the current project.

Agent Manager terminals

Agent Manager terminals run in their associated worktree. See Sessions, Terminals, and Setup Scripts when the command belongs to isolated work.

To use the full terminal product instead of a VS Code terminal action, open AI Cockpit Reasoning CLI.
