Getting Started

Welcome to the Telos Code Documentation. Telos Code turns your codebase into an interactive 2D force-directed map (Graphic Memory) and runs a local semantic search engine directly inside your IDE.

1. Installing the VS Code Extension

Telos Code is packaged as a standard VS Code extension file (.vsix). You can install it directly by following these steps:

1. Download the extension bundle telos-code-1.3.0.vsix from your Telos Dashboard.
2. Open VS Code on your computer.
3. Press Ctrl+Shift+P (or Cmd+Shift+P on macOS) to open the Command Palette.
4. Type and select "Extensions: Install from VSIX...".
5. Select the downloaded telos-code-1.3.0.vsix file to install it.

2. First Indexing Session

Once installed, open any project folder in VS Code. To generate your first interactive code map:

• Click the "$(type-hierarchy) Telos" indicator in the bottom-right status bar, or open the Command Palette and run Telos Code: Open Graphic Memory.
• Click the "⚡ Re-index Graph" button at the top-left of the panel.
• The local parser will scan your directory, analyze imports, build code chunks, and render your dependency graph in real-time.
