Description: Walkthrough of the Cloud Code extension in VS Code, demonstrating how to generate, run, and manage AI-powered projects. Covers planning and execution modes, modular code generation, permissions/settings, session management, MCP connectors for external APIs, custom commands, hooks, model switching, plugins, and codebase documentation (code.md). Also details best practices for building scalable, modular, production-ready AI applications.
Key points:
– Project generation and workflow: using planning mode, adjusting thinking effort, accepting plans and running generated projects with a modular file structure where each feature lives in its own file.
– Permissions and settings: configure user- or project-level settings.json to auto-accept read, web fetch, and other permissions to streamline large-codebase workflows.
– Extensibility and tools: create custom slash commands, use MCP connectors to auto-read API docs, switch models via CC Switch, and install plugins from the marketplace to add functionality.
– Documentation and practices: generate a code.md to describe repo rules and structure; follow the recommended session flow—plan, code, test, then commit to Git—to build scalable production apps.
Quotes:
Modular is one of the secret words you use in your prompts to build scalable applications.
Scan the project for files with more than 600 lines of code.
Always finish one task per session — planning, coding, and then testing.
