Patchloom for VS Code 0.1.0

This is the first 0.1 release of the official VS Code extension for
Patchloom. It pairs the extension
with Patchloom CLI v0.15.2:
more install options, a new markdown Quick Action, clearer Batch Apply
examples, and docs that match the current CLI and MCP surface.

Highlights

  • Recommended CLI is 0.15.2. Managed install and Update Patchloom
    still pull the latest GitHub release. Minimum supported CLI remains 0.3.0.
  • Insert after section. New Quick Action for md insert-after-section
    (CLI 0.14+): place a sibling markdown section after a full section body,
    not just under the heading line.
  • Easier CLI installs. README and Getting Started walkthrough cover
    Homebrew, npm (npm install -g patchloom / npx), Scoop (Windows),
    cargo, and the shell installer, in addition to Install Patchloom.
  • Batch plans that match modern CLI. The Batch Apply template includes
    fuzzy replace with --min-fuzzy-score and md.insert_after_section.

MCP servers started through the extension still use patchloom mcp-server.
With CLI 0.15.x that exposes 56 tools (up from 54 in the 0.10 era).

Why 0.1.0

0.0.x covered the full setup path (managed CLI, agent rules, multi-editor
MCP, Quick Actions, Batch Apply, status bar, verify). 0.1.0 is the same
product, now versioned as a stable minor line and aligned with current
Patchloom CLI practice for agent and workspace use.

No settings migration is required. Existing patchloom.path values and
managed installs keep working.

Aligned with Patchloom CLI 0.11–0.15

You do not need every CLI feature to use the extension. These are the
parts that matter if you upgrade the binary:

CLI range What you get with a current managed install
0.11–0.13 Stronger --contain coverage, clearer plan/batch errors, match reporting on replace
0.14 md insert-after-section, batch flags such as --fuzzy / --min-fuzzy-score, more install channels (npm, Scoop, Chocolatey)
0.15 Stable MCP and JSON contracts (selector on doc tools, applied on write results), 56 MCP tools

Workspace Quick Actions and Batch Apply still pass global --contain so
paths stay inside the open folder. Containment follows the effective
working directory (the workspace folder). Patch merge still skips
containment when the patch file may live outside the project.

New features

  • Insert after section. From Patchloom: Quick Action, insert
    sibling content after a full markdown section (for example a ## FAQ
    after ## Config without stuffing text under the Config heading).
    Same diff preview and Apply flow as other markdown actions. (#198)
  • Richer Batch Apply template. Default plan lines demonstrate fuzzy
    replace and md.insert_after_section alongside replace, doc.set,
    file.append, and tidy.fix. (#198)
  • Install docs for npm and Scoop. Getting started and the walkthrough
    list the channels Patchloom publishes today, so Windows and Node users
    have a clear path when they are not using Homebrew. (#198)

Improvements

  • Docs match live CLI/MCP contracts. Recommended version, tool count,
    and capability descriptions track CLI 0.15.2. Command shapes used by
    the extension (replace with --new, doc selectors, MCP selector,
    agent-rules mode/platform, line-oriented batch) were re-checked
    against that release. (#198)
  • Initialize Project and Batch Apply tests. Extra coverage for
    agent-rules mode/platform picks and for Batch Apply always invoking
    batch with global --contain. (#192)

Upgrading

  1. Update the extension to 0.1.0 (VS Code Marketplace, Open VSX, or .vsix).
  2. Update the Patchloom CLI when you can:
# Managed install (Command Palette)
# Patchloom: Update Patchloom

brew upgrade patchloom

npm install -g patchloom

scoop update patchloom

curl -LsSf https://github.com/patchloom/patchloom/releases/latest/download/patchloom-installer.sh | sh
  1. If you use MCP in VS Code, Cursor, or Windsurf, restart the MCP host
    after a CLI upgrade so tool lists and schemas refresh.
  2. Optional: run Setup Workspace or Initialize Project if you want
    a fresh AGENTS.md for the current CLI guidance.
