Code Actions

Code Actions are contextual AI commands that appear when you right-click selected code in the editor or output in the terminal. They let you trigger focused AI tasks without opening the chat panel.

Editor code actions

Select any code in the editor, right-click, and look for the UltraCoder submenu:

Action	What it does
Explain Code	Opens a new Ask-mode task explaining the selected code
Fix Code	Opens a new Code-mode task to fix issues in the selection
Improve Code	Opens a new Code-mode task to improve readability, performance, or correctness
Add to Context	Attaches the selected snippet to your next chat message

✦ Tip:Add to Context is especially useful for multi-file tasks: select the relevant function in each file and add them all before sending your message.

Terminal actions

Right-click inside the integrated terminal to access AI actions for terminal output:

Action	What it does
Terminal: Add to Context	Attaches the visible terminal output to your next chat message
Terminal: Fix Command	Opens a new Debug-mode task to fix the failing command or error
Terminal: Explain Command	Opens a new Ask-mode task to explain the terminal output

Generate commit message

In the Source Control panel (Git), UltraCoder adds a Generate Commit Message button. Click it to have UltraCoder write a commit message based on your staged changes.

Code review commands

From the Command Palette (⌘⇧P) or the Source Control panel:

Review Working Changes — review all uncommitted changes
Review Current Branch — review all commits on the current branch vs main
Review Commit... — review a specific commit by hash
Review Against Ref... — review changes against any git ref

Disabling code actions

To hide the UltraCoder right-click menu entries, set ultra-coder.enableCodeActions to false in VS Code settings.
