The Insider difference

One focused IDE for Officeless teams — not a generic VS Code plus Marketplace extras.

  • Code Intelligence only

    All 11 platform VSIX packs from code-intelligence.vas.mekari.com are embedded at build time using the latest stable release.

  • Locked, not removable

    Built-in plugins cannot be uninstalled — every Insider install stays aligned with Mekari guardrails. Update via Officeless: Check for Extension Updates when new VSIX builds ship.

  • Welcome walkthrough

    First launch opens the step-by-step Officeless welcome — connect MCP, browse guardrails, sync .officeless-ai/ into your repo. Styled to match the platform marketing site.

  • macOS & Windows

    Universal macOS DMG and Windows installers. Pair with the Code Intelligence macOS bridge for Apple Intelligence on localhost :8765.

Built-in plugins

Same catalog as Code Intelligence — pre-installed in Insider, optional VSIX install on standard VS Code. Publisher: mekari-vas (aligned with *.vas.mekari.com).

Extension ID Role
mekari-vas.officeless-code-intelligence Sidebar chat, agent tools, inline completion
mekari-vas.officeless-ai-context Hub — welcome walkthrough, guardrail catalog, AI setup
mekari-vas.officeless-mcp Mekari IAM OAuth → Officeless MCP gateway
mekari-vas.officeless-guardrails-* Eight guardrail modules (global, platform, frontend, design system, prompts, roles, models, CIMB)

Download VSIX from code-intelligence.vas.mekari.com/download/vscode or run Officeless: Check for Extension Updates inside Insider. On standard VS Code: Extensions → ⋯ → Install from VSIX…

  • Embedded guardrails

    Eight built-in extension modules mirror the ai-context/ library: global rules, platform APIs, frontend, design system, prompts, roles, BYOK models, and CIMB advisor packs.

  • Welcome & walkthrough

    In-IDE guide: Officeless: Open Welcome Guide, step-by-step walkthrough on the Welcome page, and per-module guardrail browsers from the Command Palette.

  • BYOK via Code Intelligence

    Configure providers through the Code Intelligence extension and macOS bridge — Alibaba Token Plan, Ollama, or Apple Intelligence. No bundled Copilot or third-party Marketplace packs.

  • Project sync

    Copy rules into any repo as .officeless-ai/, Cursor rules, Continue config, and Copilot instructions — one command from the guardrail kit.

  • Service-layer discipline

    AI is steered toward src/services/officeless/ for HTTP, Storybook for UI, and human-reviewed tests before handover.

  • macOS installer

    Drag-and-drop .dmg distribution. Open the disk image, move Officeless AI Insiders to Applications, then eject.

Guardrails

Markdown rules bundled with the IDE constrain AI output so it stays aligned with FSD, documented APIs, and Mekari security standards.

To implement guardrails in your current repo from inside the IDE: Command Palette → Officeless: Apply Guardrails to This Project. This writes .officeless-ai/ plus tool configs (Cursor / Copilot / Continue) into the open workspace folder.

Module Focus
Global System context, AI boundaries, security, dev/test/release rules
Platform Officeless API integration, auth, workflows, embedded UI
Design system Storybook components and theming — no random UI libraries
Frontend React, TypeScript, services, state, error handling
Prompts Generate, review, refactor, validate, Gen1 assessment templates
Roles Architect, QA, solution engineer, CIMB assessment advisor
Models (BYOK) Per-provider notes for Cursor, Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, and more
CIMB advisor Officeless Gen1 assessment knowledge and advisor skill pack

  • Officeless custom frontend and dashboards
