# Muse Spark 1.2 for VS Code

Muse Spark is a VS Code extension for coding with Meta's Muse Spark 1.2 models. It supports two complementary agent experiences:

- **Muse Code CLI sidebar** — runs the official Muse Code agent harness behind the extension's sidebar for repository inspection, file editing, terminal commands, verification, long-running tasks, and persistent sessions.
- **VS Code Agent Mode provider** — contributes Muse Spark models to VS Code Chat so they can use the tools supplied by VS Code/Copilot Agent Mode.

The extension also provides selection actions, inline completions, code generation, model/pricing controls, and live token and cost tracking.

## Requirements

- Windows with WSL and an Ubuntu distribution for the Muse Code CLI backend
- VS Code 1.134.0 or newer
- Node.js and npm when developing or packaging the extension
- Meta Model API access and a valid API key
- GitHub Copilot/VS Code Chat when using the Language Model provider in Agent Mode

## Feature overview

### Official Muse Code agent backend

The sidebar uses `muse exec --json` by default. The extension:

- Starts Muse Code inside the Ubuntu WSL distribution.
- Uses Muse's legacy shell tool for WSL1 compatibility, avoiding managed process-owner host failures.
- Limits workspace tools to the currently opened VS Code workspace.
- Streams Muse JSON events and assistant output into the sidebar.
- Lets Muse inspect and edit files, execute commands, and verify its changes.
- Keeps one Muse session ID for follow-up messages.
- Uses the same ID for the saved VS Code transcript and underlying Muse CLI session so resumed chats can continue executing tasks.
- Starts a new Muse session when chat is cleared.
- Supports configurable reasoning effort and maximum model steps.
- Can run with unrestricted `--yolo` access or with the Muse sandbox enabled.

Only the first open VS Code workspace folder is currently used. The workspace must be on a local Windows drive available to WSL under `/mnt/<drive>/...`.

### VS Code Agent Mode provider

The extension registers Muse Spark 1.2, Muse Spark 1.2 Contributor, and Muse Spark 1.2 Code in the VS Code Chat model picker.

The provider supports streamed text, VS Code tool definitions, tool calls, tool results, automatic tool selection, and required-tool mode. VS Code invokes Agent Mode tools and displays its own approval UI.

    Helicon: desktop app for Muse Code★

    I pay for @Muse Code but didn't want to live in a terminal. On Windows it's WSL-only. So I built Helicon: an open-source desktop app for the actual Muse CLI. • uses your existing muse login, no API key • talks to muse serve over MSP, so Muse stays the agent • resumes

    Medical bills audited line by line, $4,000 saved★

    Got Muse logged in to my medical provider’s portal, he pulled the itemized bills, and questioned every line. So far he’s found several times I’d been double billed, asked for some discounts and has saved me over $4,000. If your moat is bureaucracy, you’re cooked.
