# 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](https://roomote.dev/). 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 plan to try and help users as they transition over, we have our [Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/ZooCode) and [Discord](https://discord.gg/VxfP4Vx3gX) for this exact support, so if you are having problems or if you have question, jump on and ask. ## What's New in v3.74.0 **Zoo Gateway is live!** The gateway is a single endpoint for all providers, with one balance and per-request spending/usage breakdown. **Setup:** - Add credits: https://www.zoocode.dev/dashboard/credits - Sign in from the extension. - In the settings, select Zoo Gateway as the provider when creating profiles for different models Usage and charges can be viewed in the [dashboard](https://www.zoocode.dev/dashboard). Models: https://www.zoocode.dev/dashboard/models - **More OpenAI controls** — use Fast priority mode with OpenAI Codex and choose higher reasoning effort for OpenAI-compatible models. - **More reliable providers and models** — improved router metadata handling, Ollama model refresh, Bedrock proxy support, and Friendli reasoning controls. - **Smoother settings and developer workflows** — settings now preserve unsaved edits, short terminal commands complete cleanly, architect plans use workspace-relative paths, and remaining user-facing Roo branding is updated to Zoo. - **Stronger task foundations** — new task registry and semaphore-based scheduler primitives prepare Zoo Code for safer task coordination. - **Consistent provider architecture** — provider identifiers and service-tier primitives are now centralized across the API, core, shared types, and webview. - Security, dependency, lint, visual-regression, and end-to-end test improvements.

Share it with the developers. --- ## Local Setup & Development 1. **Clone** the repo: ```sh git clone https://github.com/Zoo-Code-Org/Zoo-Code.git ``` 2. **Install dependencies**: ```sh pnpm install ``` 3. **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: ```sh pnpm install:vsix [-y] [--editor=] ``` 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=`: Specify the editor command (e.g., `--editor=cursor` or `--editor=code-insiders`) ### Manual VSIX Installation If you prefer to install the VSIX package manually: 1. First, build the VSIX package: ```sh pnpm vsix ``` 2. A `.vsix` file will be generated in the `bin/` directory (e.g., `bin/zoo-code-.vsix`). 3. Install it manually using the VSCode CLI: ```sh code --install-extension bin/zoo-code-.vsix ``` --- We use [changesets](https://github.com/changesets/changesets) for versioning and publishing.
