Plan

Observations

No existing VS Code extension documentation in this repository.
The CodeRabbit VS Code extension is published on VS Marketplace and Open VSX under IDs CodeRabbit.coderabbit-vscode and coderabbit.coderabbit-vscode respectively.
Docusaurus site uses a custom sidebar in sidebars.ts, and platform integrations are grouped under "Add CodeRabbit to your repository".
We have CLI commands and gallery configuration for derivatives (VSCodium, VS Code OSS).

Approach

Create a new Markdown page at docs/platforms/vscode.md using Docusaurus conventions, with YAML frontmatter and two sections: one for stock VS Code (Marketplace) and one for VS Code derivatives (Open VSX, VSCodium, OSS builds).
In the stock VS Code section, include the code --install-extension CodeRabbit.coderabbit-vscode command and link to the Marketplace URL.
In the derivatives section, demonstrate codium --install-extension coderabbit.coderabbit-vscode, code-oss usage, gallery settings in settings.json, and manual VSIX sideloading steps.
Modify sidebars.ts to insert the new document under the "Platform integrations" category so it appears with GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps, and Bitbucket.

Reasoning

I reviewed the entire docs/ folder and sidebars.ts to confirm the absence of any VS Code-specific content, researched the published extension IDs and URLs on both marketplaces, and collected CLI and configuration details for derivatives.

Proposed File Changes

📄 docs/platforms/vscode.md ^(NEW) 🔗

Add YAML frontmatter with title: VS Code Plugin, sidebar_label: VS Code, and a sidebar_position matching other platforms.

Create a top-level heading # VS Code Plugin.

Under ## Visual Studio Code (Marketplace), describe installing via Marketplace with code --install-extension CodeRabbit.coderabbit-vscode and link to https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=CodeRabbit.coderabbit-vscode.

Under ## VS Code Derivatives (Open VSX, VSCodium, OSS), cover:

codium --install-extension coderabbit.coderabbit-vscode

code-oss --install-extension coderabbit.coderabbit-vscode

settings.json snippet for Open VSX gallery configuration

Manual VSIX installation steps with download URL from https://open-vsx.org/extension/coderabbit/coderabbit-vscode

Include :::note and :::tip admonitions for compatibility and troubleshooting tips.

📄 sidebars.ts ^(MODIFY) 🔗

References

📄 docs/platforms/vscode.md

Locate the "Add CodeRabbit to your repository" category, then within its "Platform integrations" sub-category, add 'platforms/vscode' to the items array so the new VS Code page appears in the correct order alongside GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps, and Bitbucket.

Developer Humor

🐇 Why did the rabbit hop into VS Code?
It heard installing our extension was a real hop-up! 🎉
Now it can debug faster than ever,
whether via Marketplace or Open VSX,
and never miss a 🥕 break! 🥳
