# Extensions

> IDE extensions and AI agent integrations for Flox

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Agent skills">
    [Flox Skills](https://github.com/flox/flox-skills) teaches AI coding
    agents how to use Flox properly: building reproducible environments,
    onboarding existing repositories, and wiring up services, builds,
    containers, and package publishing.

    **Skills included:**

    * `flox` — create and manage environments. Installs packages and pins
      toolchains, sets up services and databases, builds and containerizes
      applications, publishes to FloxHub, and composes environments across
      teams.
    * `floxify` — onboard an existing repository. Detects your runtimes,
      services, and build tools, then writes `.flox/env/manifest.toml` so
      `flox activate` becomes the only setup command a new developer needs.

    ## Claude Code

    ```
    claude plugin marketplace add flox/flox-skills
    ```

    ```
    claude plugin install flox@flox-skills
    ```

    ## Codex

    Run from a clone of the repository:

    ```
    codex plugin marketplace add .
    ```

    ```
    codex plugin add flox@flox-skills
    ```

    ## Other agents (skills.sh)

    For Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, Gemini, and 15+ other agents,
    use [skills.sh](https://skills.sh) — a third-party open agent skills
    ecosystem:

    ```
    npx skills add flox/flox-skills
    ```

    <Note>
      **Third-party tool**

      skills.sh is not maintained by Flox. It requires Node.js.
      See [skills.sh](https://skills.sh) for supported agents and docs.

  <Tab title="VS Code">
    The [Flox extension for VS Code](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=flox.flox) brings full
    environment management into VS Code and compatible editors
    like [Cursor](https://cursor.com).

    ## Install from the Marketplace

    <Note>
      **Requirements**

      * Flox CLI installed ([install instructions](/install-flox/install))
      * VS Code 1.87.0 or later
    </Note>

    1. Open the Extensions view (<kbd>Cmd</kbd>+<kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>X</kbd> on macOS,
       <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>X</kbd> on Linux)
    2. Search for **Flox**
    3. Click **Install**

    ## Build and install from source

    If you prefer to install manually, you can build a `.vsix` file
    from the source repository:

    1. Clone the repository and check out a release tag:

       ```
       git clone https://github.com/flox/flox-vscode.git
       cd flox-vscode
       git checkout v1.0.1
       ```

    2. Activate the Flox environment and build the package:

       ```
       flox activate
       npm run package
       ```

       This creates a `.vsix` file in the project directory.

    3. Install the `.vsix` file using the Command Palette
       (<kbd>Cmd</kbd>+<kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>P</kbd> on macOS, <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>P</kbd> on Linux):

       * Run **Extensions: Install from VSIX...**
       * Select the generated `.vsix` file

       Or install from the command line:

       ```
       code --install-extension flox-*.vsix
       ```

    ## Source code

    The extension is open source:
