Generative Extensions · Act-first questioning policy · Per-model prompt families
This release adds **Generative Extensions** — build custom editor extensions from chat — plus a major **agent prompting** upgrade for faster, more proactive design-to-code on empty projects.
What's in this release
Generative Extensions
- New Extension agent mode: describe an extension in chat and Velork scaffolds, compiles, validates, installs, and smoke-tests it
- Templates for commands, status bar items, settings, snippets, themes, and language grammars
- Generative Extensions sidebar under the Extensions view to list, open, and manage generated extensions
- End-to-end pipeline:
create_generative_extension→write_extension_files→ compile → validate → install → runtime verification - Extensions live under
~/.velork/generated-extensions/with publishervelork
Agent: proactive design-to-code
- Act-first questioning policy: act first, ask only when truly blocked (secrets, irreversible changes, unresolvable ambiguity)
- Per-model prompt families with activation rules so models use
write/editinstead of chatting - Greenfield fast path: empty repos no longer block the agent — scaffold with
writeorshellafter Figma layer mentions - Clear separation: design data via design tools; project files via
write/edit - Todos and questions no longer delay the first implementation tool call
Chat UI
- Generative extension tool segments in the agent transcript
- Extension mode in the mode selector with dedicated prompts and tool set
