Installation

From the Marketplace

Search for SnakeFlow: Dev Environment Manager in the Extensions panel (Ctrl+Shift+X), or run:

ext install vaulttec-dev.snakeflow-dev-manager

The extension works in VS Code, Cursor, and Antigravity — no separate install required for each.

Manual .vsix Install

Download the latest .vsix from the VS Marketplace, then:

# Cursor
cursor --install-extension snakeflow-dev-manager-0.2.5.vsix --force

# VS Code
code --install-extension snakeflow-dev-manager-0.2.5.vsix --force

After installing, reload the window:

Ctrl+Shift+P → Developer: Reload Window

Requirements

Tool	Version	Purpose
VS Code or Cursor	^1.85	Host IDE
Node.js	>= 18	Extension runtime

Node.js is required even for non-Node.js projects — it powers the extension’s built-in quality checks and server monitoring.

Optional Tools

Install these to unlock additional features. All are optional — the extension detects availability and shows skip for missing tools.
