openfiles is a VS Code extension for developers who use AI coding agents. Its purpose is to address the situation where, after an AI agent modifies files in bulk, the editor has not opened those files, causing linters and type checkers not to run and problems to be ignored.
Main capabilities: when an AI agent edits files, the extension automatically opens those files, thereby triggering the linters and type checkers in VS Code; it also lists the changes made this time for manual review; and it returns detected problems to the AI agent being used, such as Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, Gemini CLI, or Cursor.
How to use: install and enable it as a VS Code extension, and use it together with the aforementioned AI coding agents. The material does not provide specific installation commands, configuration options, or detailed operating steps.
Applicable scenarios: workflows in VS Code where code modifications are made with the help of AI agents and where the changes are expected to undergo static checks immediately and the check results can be returned to the agent.
Limitations: the material only states that it is free and open source (MIT), and does not provide the supported VS Code versions, agent integration details, known limitations, or pricing information; this content is not yet available.
