## What it is
A VS Code extension providing local LLM-assisted text and code completion, AI chat, and agentic coding powered by llama.cpp. It supports auto-suggestions, large-context reuse, model management, MCP tools, and access to agents via Telegram or deep links.

## Use cases
- get local AI code completions in VS Code like Copilot but offline
- chat with a local LLM while coding in the editor
- run an agentic coding assistant inside VS Code
- use MCP tools with an LLM coding agent
- accept inline suggestions with Tab and word-by-word completion
- download and manage local models from Hugging Face
- control coding agents from a phone via Telegram

## When to choose
- you want a free, local, privacy-preserving Copilot alternative in VS Code
- you already use llama.cpp and want editor integration
- you need agentic coding with MCP tool support
- you work on low-end hardware and need smart context reuse

## When to avoid
- you prefer cloud-hosted assistants with frontier models and no local setup
- you use an editor other than VS Code or VSCodium-compatible forks
- you don't want to install and manage local llama.cpp models
