Show HN: Wcagent let use your ChatGPT subscription for coding

A new VS Code extension called wcagent lets developers use their own eligible ChatGPT subscription to drive an AI coding agent that keeps all commands, edits, tests, and builds running locally in the editor. The tool's context engine ranks repository paths, symbols, diagnostics, active editors, and project instructions before sending focused task context to the selected AI service, and it treats tests, builds, diffs, and diagnostics — not model responses — as completion evidence. wcagent states it does not include, sell, or resell AI model access, does not bypass provider usage limits or authentication controls, and pauses a connection when a provider refuses or limits a request; it is available from the Visual Studio Marketplace.

An AI coding agent. Local tools. Verifiable results. wcagent connects an eligible AI service to task-relevant repository context, developer-approved commands and file changes, and verification through tests, builds, diagnostics, and diffs. ✓ Read refund flow ✓ Edit retry boundary ✓ Run pnpm test ✓ Review concurrency risk ✓ Verified · 18 tests passed · diff recorded Add direction while WebCodingAgent works 02 / CONTEXT Give the model only what it needs The context engine ranks repository paths, symbols, diagnostics, active editors, and project instructions, then sends focused task context to the AI service you select. VS Code applies approved changes, runs tests and builds locally, and records diffs and diagnostics. A model response alone is never treated as completion. Select an eligible connection, then give wcagent the coding outcome you want inside the VS Code workspace that owns the repository. 0model access resold 1eligible AI account CONTEXT Give the model relevant repository context. wcagent selects task-relevant files, symbols, diagnostics, and instructions without replacing your editor workflow. LOCAL TOOLS The model suggests. VS Code verifies. Commands, edits, tests, and approvals remain local while an eligible AI connection supplies the reasoning. 1selected AI connection 4forms of completion evidence 100%local command control What wcagent provides AI reasoning. Local authority. A wcagent plan covers the VS Code extension, context selection, task coordination, local tool controls, recovery, and evidence history. AI model access is supplied separately by the user. 01 Connect eligible AI accessUse a provider, account type, and connection method permitted for your account. 02 Keep execution where the code livesCommands, mutations, redaction, and workspace confinement stay authoritative inside desktop VS Code. 03 Keep one editor workflowUse an available eligible connection without rebuilding your local development setup. 04 Finish with repository evidenceTests, builds, diffs, and diagnostics—not model confidence—decide when the work is done. Provider access Provider controls always apply. wcagent does not increase, reset, conceal, or bypass provider usage limits. It does not defeat authentication, CAPTCHAs, safety systems, geographic restrictions, or other technical access controls. Separate access You supply the AI account wcagent does not include, sell, or resell access to an AI model. Eligible connections Authorization depends on the provider An eligible connection uses a provider, account type, and integration method whose terms permit its use with wcagent. Limits respected A refusal pauses the connection If a provider refuses or limits a request, wcagent reports that result and cannot make the provider accept it. Your responsibility Provider terms remain in force You must maintain your own eligible account and comply with its plan limits, policies, and applicable terms. Ready to code with context? Bring AI into your VS Code workflow. Install wcagent from the Visual Studio Marketplace, connect eligible AI access, and keep repository actions under your local approval settings.
