100xprompt runs inside the editor you already use. Launch it with a keystroke, hand it the file or selection in front of you, and let it read, write, and run code alongside you - no context switching, no copy-paste.

​
Understand the integration

The IDE integration is a thin bridge between your editor and the full 100xprompt agent. Your editor supplies quick-launch shortcuts and one-click context sharing. 100xprompt does the work - reading your codebase, editing files, running commands, and connecting to your tools. Everything runs against the project folder you already have open.
The integration connects 100xprompt to the workspace you have open. Changes it makes land in your real files, so you review and stage them just like any other edit.

​
Check your editor is supported

100xprompt integrates with popular editors two ways: an extension for the VS Code family, and a built-in agent connection for Zed.
Full extension support: quick-launch shortcuts, a toolbar button, and one-keystroke file references. Also works with Visual Studio Code - Insiders.
For the VS Code family (VS Code, VS Code - Insiders, Cursor, Windsurf, and VSCodium), the extension is published as 100XPrompt. In Zed, it appears as an agent server named 100xPrompt.

​
Before you start

The IDE integration drives the 100xprompt agent, so you need the CLI on your system first.
1

Install 100xprompt

Make sure the 100xprompt command works in your terminal. If you haven’t installed it yet, follow the quickstart.
2

Open your project

Open the folder you want to work in inside your editor. 100xprompt operates on the workspace you have open.

​
Install and connect

Suppose you have the CLI installed and your project open. Connecting the editor takes one run of 100xprompt in the VS Code family, or a single add in Zed.
Works for VS Code, VS Code - Insiders, Cursor, Windsurf, and VSCodium.
1

Run 100xprompt from the built-in terminal

Open your editor’s integrated terminal and run:
100xprompt
When 100xprompt detects it’s running inside a supported editor, it offers to install the matching extension for you.
2

Accept the extension install

Confirm the prompt and 100xprompt installs the extension into your editor. If it’s already installed, it simply continues.
Prefer installing manually? Search your editor’s Extensions marketplace for 100XPrompt and click Install.
3

Launch with a shortcut

Press the quick-launch shortcut to open 100xprompt in a split view. It focuses an existing session if one is already running:
ActionmacOSWindows / Linux
Open 100xpromptCmd + EscCtrl + Esc
Open a new sessionCmd + Shift + EscCtrl + Shift + Esc
You can also click the 100XPrompt button in the editor’s title bar.
Once connected, launching 100xprompt opens it against your current project - the same agent you’d get in the terminal, now one keystroke away inside your editor.

​
Work from your editor

Everything 100xprompt does elsewhere works here. The editor makes it faster to reach and richer with context.
CapabilityWhat it means in your editor
Quick launchOpen or focus 100xprompt with a keystroke or a title-bar button.
New session on demandStart a fresh session even while another is open.
Share your current viewYour active selection or open tab is shared automatically as context.
File & line referencesInsert precise references like @File#L37-42 with a shortcut.
Full agent capabilitiesRead and edit code, run commands, and use your Agents, Skills, Plugins, and MCP connections.

​
Reference a file and line inline

Suppose you want the agent to look at exactly one range of code. While typing a prompt, drop in a file-and-line reference so 100xprompt knows precisely what you mean.
Press Cmd + Option + K to insert a reference to the current file or selection, for example @File#L37-42.
Select a range of lines before inserting a reference and 100xprompt receives exactly those lines - great for “explain this” or “refactor this” without pasting code.

​
Good to know

You need the 100xprompt CLI on your system. In the VS Code family, running 100xprompt in the integrated terminal offers to install the editor extension for you. In Zed, the connection is built in - just add 100xprompt from the Agent Panel.
Yes. The quick-launch shortcut focuses your existing session, and the “new session” shortcut starts an additional one so you can work on separate threads side by side.
Directly in your open files. Review and stage them with your editor’s normal source-control tools, just like any change you’d make yourself.
Yes. The editor integration runs the same 100xprompt agent as the terminal, so your configured Agents, Skills, Plugins, Memory, and MCP connections all come along.
The IDE integration is under active development. If a shortcut or menu item doesn’t appear, reload your editor window after installing the extension.
