Crispy VS Code Extension Adds Agent Memory and Multi-Agent Features for Claude and Codex
Crispy is a VS Code extension that provides a richer control layer on top of Claude Code and Codex CLIs, addressing common terminal limitations like conversation forking, agent switching, and memory retention.
Key Features
- Agent Memory — Every transcript is indexed locally on CPU with full-text and semantic search via local embeddings. Your agent can search and read back real past conversations. No cloud storage or API calls after initial model download. Backfills from existing agent transcripts.
- Multi-Agent / Superthink — Dispatch child sessions to Claude or Codex for parallel perspectives, with ability to resume later. In-process operation, no MCP configuration required.
- Conversation Forking — Fork or rewind conversations from any message, opening side-by-side views.
- Dedicated Tool Views — File edits show real diffs, bash shows output, searches show results.
- Quote Response Text — Select text and hit quote to insert directly into Chat Input with a comment.
- Local Voice-to-Text — Uses Moonshine Base STT with four render modes.
- Consistent UI — Same interface across Claude and Codex, with Gemini CLI and OpenCode support planned.
Technical Details
Crispy runs Claude Code and Codex underneath — not a standalone AI. It's open source under MIT license and available for Linux, macOS, and Windows. The extension can be installed from Open VSX or GitHub.
