CodeSetu

Open-source AI coding assistant for VSCode and JetBrains. Multi-provider, self-hostable, made in India.

A Copilot / Cursor alternative designed for Indian developers, enterprises, public sector teams, and air-gapped deployments. Bring your own model — CodeSetu works with Sarvam, OpenAI-compatible APIs (Ollama, vLLM, OpenRouter, SGLang), and local self-hosted deployments. AI chat, inline FIM completions, tool-calling, and an extensible plugin and skill system across VSCode and JetBrains.

Highlights: AI chat in IDE · Inline (FIM) code completions · Tool-calling · Air-gapped friendly · Hindi / Indic-aware · Plugin + skill SDK · 100% open-source (Apache 2.0)

Status

This repository is a pnpm + Gradle monorepo organized as:

• apps/vscode — VSCode extension with chat and inline completion flows
• apps/jetbrains — placeholder for the future Kotlin plugin (Gradle, outside the pnpm graph)
• packages/core — shared providers, provider factory, and tool-call registry (@codesetu/core)
• packages/plugin-sdk — plugin and skill type contracts for first- and third-party extensions (@codesetu/plugin-sdk)
• skills/ — AI skill manifests (SKILL.md per skill) loaded by hosts at activation
• plugins/ — first-party plugins built on @codesetu/plugin-sdk
• docs/ARCHITECTURE.md — full architecture, layout, and deployment notes

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+
• pnpm 9+
• A provider — Sarvam API key, OpenRouter key, or a local OpenAI-compatible endpoint (Ollama, vLLM, SGLang)

Setup

corepack pnpm install
