Extension dependencies

Multiple features require another extension to work, so this page lists them so that you are sure you have the necessary extensions to function.

Tip

You will most likely only need to look for extension dependencies, as the dependencies from npm that we use should already be bundled in the extension build.

Note

As this extension was literally made for Neuro to control, this also assumes you have a Neuro API server ready to go as a direct “dependency”. This also means we are using AriesAlex’s TypeScript Neuro Game SDK. Thanks AriesAlex!

Don’t have a Neuro-sama? Use one of the tools listed on the official Neuro Game API repository’s README (here and here specifically) instead.

Direct dependencies

Visual Studio Code Required (obviously)

Don’t think this one needs to be explained, but there is one thing: While no guarantees it will work 100% as intended, you can try using a VS Code fork if you want (such as Cursor or VSCodium). We will try to support VS Code forks, however we will ultimately maintain compatibility with VS Code itself even if it means breaking compatibility with forks.

Copilot Chat Optional

ID: github.copilot-chat

Copilot Chat allows the user to chat with Neuro on the sidebar panel. It also powers inline completions, allowing Neuro to “complete the code”.

Note

You do not require a GitHub Copilot subscription to use the chat panel with NeuroPilot.

Git Optional Built-in

ID: vscode.git

Built-in extension

The built-in Git extension powers Neuro’s ability to interact with the git repository.

Tip

Despite also having Git in its name, the built-in Git Base extension is not used by NeuroPilot. You may disable that extension if you wish, without losing access to any features.

Indirect dependencies

Language servers

Powers: Linting Analysis

Language server extensions contribute to the Linting Analysis portion indirectly by contributing to VSCode’s linting diagnostics feature, which gets listened to and pulled by the extension.

Shells External program

Powers: Terminal

To use the terminal feature, you are required to have installed shells on your computer.
