VS Code Extension

Revive the AI session
that got cut off.

Edo Tensei reads local session histories from Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Kiro, and more, then packages the right context for your next coding agent. View source on GitHub ->

Recover context
in the order you work.

Open Edo Tensei, scan the source IDE, choose the session that matters, then move that handoff into the next agent.

Open, scan, and resurrect a session

Use the Activity Bar panel to scan your local AI sessions. Click the session you want to continue and Edo Tensei copies a ready-to-paste handoff prompt to the clipboard.

Paste into the target agent

The receiving agent gets the source session context without starting from scratch. Use path mode for token efficiency or full-text mode when the new tool cannot read files.

Keep the handoff local and focused

Session discovery happens on your machine. Edo Tensei reads the files your installed IDEs already write and gives you a focused prompt, export, or path reference.

Agent route

Manual paste is not the only path.

When you configure MCP, compatible agents can discover and read Edo Tensei sessions programmatically. The extension still keeps the local-first boundary: session files stay on your machine.

Demo

From interrupted session to usable prompt.

Watch the panel scan local histories, expose available sessions, and copy the handoff prompt that lets the next agent continue the same work.
