Deep Code

Deep Code is an AI coding assistant extension for Visual Studio Code, specifically optimized for the latest deepseek-v4 model.

Configuration

Create ~/.deepcode/settings.json with:

{
  "env": {
    "MODEL": "deepseek-v4-pro",
    "BASE_URL": "https://api.deepseek.com",
    "API_KEY": "sk-..."
  },
  "thinkingEnabled": true,
  "reasoningEffort": "max"
}

Key Features

Skills

Deep Code supports agent skills that allows you to extend the assistant's capabilities:

  • User-level Skills: discovered and activated from ~/.agents/skills/.
  • Project-level Skills: loaded from ./.agents/skills/ for project-specific workflows, with legacy ./.deepcode/skills/ compatibility.

Optimized for DeepSeek

  • Specifically tuned for DeepSeek model performance.
  • Reduce costs by using Context Caching.
  • Natively supports Thinking Mode and Thinking Effort Control.

Supported Models

  • deepseek-v4-pro (Recommended)
  • deepseek-v4-flash
  • deepseek-chat
  • Any other OpenAI-compatible model

Deep Code CLI

npm install -g @vegamo/deepcode-cli

The VSCode plugin and CLI share configuration and data, but they have no dependencies at runtime.

FAQ

How can I move Deep Code from the left sidebar to the right (Secondary Side Bar) in VS Code?

faq1

Does Deep Code support understanding images?

Deep Code supports multimodal, but deepseek-v4 does not support multimodal yet. Some models have multimodal capabilities but impose strict limits on multi-turn dialogue requests. For multimodal input, we recommend using the Volcano Ark Doubao-Seed-2.0-pro model, which has the best integration.

How to automatically send a Slack message after a task completes?

Write a shell notification script that calls a Slack webhook, then set the notify field in ~/.deepcode/settings.json to the full path of the script. For detailed steps, refer to: https://binfer.net/share/jby5xnc-so6g

Does it support Coding Plan?

Yes. Just set env.BASE_URL in ~/.deepcode/settings.json to an OpenAI-compatible API endpoint. Take Volcano Ark's Coding Plan as an example, configure ~/.deepcode/settings.json as follows:

{
  "env": {
    "MODEL": "ark-code-latest",
    "BASE_URL": "https://ark.cn-beijing.volces.com/api/coding/v3",
    "API_KEY": "**************"
  },
  "thinkingEnabled": true
}
