Editor Integration

agent-doc is designed to be triggered from your editor with a single hotkey.

JetBrains (IntelliJ, WebStorm, etc.)

Settings > Tools > External Tools > Add:

FieldValue
Programagent-doc
Argumentsrun $FilePath$
Working directory$ProjectFileDir$

Assign a keyboard shortcut (e.g. Ctrl+Shift+S). The External Tool shows output in the Run panel — progress messages, merge status, and errors all appear there.

VS Code

Add a task to .vscode/tasks.json:

{
    "label": "agent-doc run",
    "type": "shell",
    "command": "agent-doc run ${file}",
    "group": "build",
    "presentation": {
        "reveal": "silent",
        "panel": "shared"
    }
}

Bind to a keybinding in keybindings.json:

{
    "key": "ctrl+shift+s",
    "command": "workbench.action.tasks.runTask",
    "args": "agent-doc run"
}

Vim / Neovim

nnoremap <leader>as :!agent-doc run %<CR>:e<CR>

The :e<CR> reloads the file after the response is written.

General tips

  • Don't edit during run — the merge-safe flow handles it, but it's simpler to wait for the progress indicator to finish.
  • Auto-reload — JetBrains and VS Code auto-reload files changed on disk. Vim needs the :e reload.
  • Diff gutters — after run, your editor shows diff gutters for everything the agent added (because agent responses are left uncommitted).
