AI Cockpit Reasoning
AI Cockpit Reasoning helps you investigate, change, and review a software project from VS Code or the terminal. Both interfaces use the same agents, models, permissions, skills, MCP servers, and project configuration.
Choose how you want to work
| Interface | Start here when you want to |
|---|---|
| VS Code extension | Work with the current project through Chat, editor actions, Agent Manager, or Reasoning Board. |
| AI Cockpit Reasoning CLI | Work interactively in the TUI, run a headless request, or open the browser interface from the local server. |
If you are new to Reasoning in VS Code, install the extension, sign in, and complete a small task in Chat. Chat is the shortest path from a project question to a reviewed result.
Other VS Code workspaces
After you are comfortable with Chat, use the other extension workspaces when the task calls for them:
- Agent Manager organizes independent sessions in Git worktrees.
- Reasoning Board starts work from requirements available to your organization.
Neither workspace is required to use Chat.
