Automatic Context
The IDE can provide the current file, selection, diagnostics, and workspace context automatically.

Hand Off To Cloud
When work should continue remotely, hand it off to Cloud or another surface.

Configure account, model, permissions, context behavior, and integrations from the extension settings.
App / CLI / IDE Division Of Labor
