Muse Code in VS Code and Cursor: a side panel instead of a terminal

Описание и применение

Helicon добавляет боковую панель к Muse Code в VS Code и других редакторах, показывая подтверждения, изменения файлов и историю потоков, упрощая работу с несколькими потоками.

Задача

Muse Code runs in a terminal, making it hard to manage multiple threads, view approvals, and track file changes.

Результат

Helicon transforms Muse Code usage by providing a visual side panel that shows approvals, file diffs, thread history, and usage metrics, eliminating the need to scroll in a terminal and simplifying multi-thread management.

Рабочий процесс

• Install the muse CLI and run muse login
• Install Helicon from the marketplace or Open VSX
• Open the Helicon panel via icon or shortcut
• Create a new thread by typing a request; each thread opens as a tab
• Review approvals and diffs in the panel before execution
• Use the panel to view changed files, thread history, and usage metrics

Доказательства

Muse Code is Meta's coding agent, and it lives in the terminal. That works until you have three threads going, an approval prompt has scrolled out of view, and you can't tell which thread touched which file.

Источник

Helicon drives the muse CLI you already have, with your own login and plan. There's no API key to paste, and the extension stores no credentials.

Источник

When you open the panel, the extension starts a small local server on your editor's own Node runtime, bound to 127.0.0.1 only. That server runs muse serve and talks to it over MSP, the protocol Muse Code speaks to its clients.

Источник

Helicon shows you the exact command, or the edit as a diff, before it runs. You allow or deny it, or let the thread run without asking until you close Helicon.

Источник

Each thread lists the files it changed, one click from opening them, and the diffs sit inline at the point in the thread where the change happened.
