## What it is
Code Web Chat (CWC) is a free, privacy-first VS Code extension toolkit for AI-assisted coding that builds unified prompts with static context (all relevant files and instructions) and sends them to web chat AI models. It supports multi-file editing, planning, code generation at the cursor, TAB completions, and commit message generation.

## Use cases
- implement features across multiple files with AI
- refactor code with full file context in the prompt
- generate commit messages from staged changes
- get AI explanations and planning for a file selection
- autocomplete code with reasoning models
- fix bugs using web chat LLMs without sending data to servers

## When to choose
- you prefer using free web chat AI interfaces instead of paid API-based coding assistants
- you want complete static context (all relevant files) included in every prompt
- privacy matters - everything runs locally with no telemetry
- you need multi-file editing, planning, and completions inside VS Code

## When to avoid
- you want an autonomous agent that executes tools and runs commands itself
- you need API-based model access with streaming responses inside the editor
- you use an editor other than VS Code or VSCodium-compatible forks
