Zoo Code
Your AI-Powered Dev Team, Right in Your Editor
We are Zoo Code
Zoo Code continues development of this project after the Roo team wound down
active Roo Code work to focus on Roomote. Thank you
to the Roo team for everything they built.
The core team is a group of developers who contributed to Roo previously and
care deeply about this plugin. We will continue to make model updates, fix
bugs, and release features, and we plan to listen closely to the community
that made this plugin so special. Join us on
Discord,
Reddit, or
open a PR or issue.

Roo Code to Zoo Code migration
You can find a quick guide for migrating from Roo Code to Zoo Code in the Roo→Zoo migration guide. We plan to try and help users as they transition over, we have our Reddit and Discord
for this exact support, so if you are having problems or if you have question, jump on and ask.
What Zoo Code Has Added Since Roo Code
Zoo Code builds on the foundation created by Roo Code and continues to expand it with:
- Semble codebase intelligence — fast, on-demand semantic code search with automatic setup and no separate indexing workflow.
- Stronger Orchestrator workflows — safer delegation, parallel task coordination, reliable parent/child task recovery, and better isolation between subtasks and provider profiles.
- Longer autonomous runs with Destructive Command Guard (DCG) — automatically block dangerous commands while trusted work continues without repeated approval prompts.
- The latest models — ongoing support for new Claude, GPT, Gemini, Kimi, GLM, Grok, MiniMax, and other model families.
- More ways to connect — new and expanded providers including Zoo Gateway, Moonshot, Kimi Code, Kenari, Friendli, OpenCode Go, and many more.
- More dependable terminal and editing workflows — fixes for premature terminal completion, task-state races, context management, diff editing, and provider-specific tool use.
- More control over your workspace — rules management, per-mode MCP restrictions, multi-root path controls, model reasoning options, and completion change review actions.
What's New in v3.92.0
- ✨ Faster model choice and stronger model support: Switch models from the chat composer. Use Claude Haiku 5.5 on Amazon Bedrock, get more accurate Kimi K3 capabilities on OpenRouter, and use corrected Gemini 4 Argon limits on Vercel AI Gateway.
- 🧭 More reliable terminal, editing, chat, and remote workflows: Collapse command output by default when you choose, get clearer editing failures, keep reasoning and API rows visible, and avoid startup and proxy issues in remote workspaces.
- 🔌 Expanded MCP marketplace: Connect Zoo Code to AnySearch, Mailtea, and Tradehand through the MCP marketplace.

Local Setup & Development
- Clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/Zoo-Code-Org/Zoo-Code.git
- Install dependencies:
pnpm install
- Run the extension:
There are several ways to run the Zoo Code extension:
Development Mode (F5)
For active development, use VSCode's built-in debugging:
Press F5 (or go to Run → Start Debugging) in VSCode. This will open a
new VSCode window with the Zoo Code extension running.
- Changes to the webview will appear immediately.
- Changes to the core extension will also hot reload automatically.
Automated VSIX Installation
To build and install the extension as a VSIX package directly into VSCode:
pnpm install:vsix [-y] [--editor=<command>]
This command will:
- Ask which editor command to use (code/cursor/code-insiders) - defaults to
'code'
- Uninstall any existing version of the extension.
- Build the latest VSIX package.
- Install the newly built VSIX.
- Prompt you to restart VS Code for changes to take effect.
Options:
-y: Skip all confirmation prompts and use defaults--editor=<command>: Specify the editor command (e.g., --editor=cursor or
--editor=code-insiders)
Manual VSIX Installation
If you prefer to install the VSIX package manually:
- First, build the VSIX package:
pnpm vsix
- A
.vsix file will be generated in the bin/ directory (e.g.,
bin/zoo-code-<version>.vsix).
- Install it manually using the VSCode CLI:
code --install-extension bin/zoo-code-<version>.vsix
We use changesets for versioning and
publishing. Check our CHANGELOG.md for release notes.
