Roo Code
Your AI-Powered Dev Team, Right in Your Editor
What's New in v3.53.0
The Roo Code plugin is not going away.
You may have seen the recent announcement that Roo Code hit 3 million installs and the original team is going all-in on Roomote. We know that news was hard for a lot of you. This plugin means a lot to us and to you, and we hear you.
The good news: a community team has stepped up to carry Roo Code forward, and we're working with them on an official handoff so the plugin you rely on keeps getting maintained and improved.
What's new in this release:
- Add GPT-5.5 support via the OpenAI Codex provider.
- Add Claude Opus 4.7 support on Vertex AI.
- Add previous checkpoint navigation controls in chat so you can step back through prior checkpoints more easily.

Local Setup & Development
- Clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/RooCodeInc/Roo-Code.git
- Install dependencies:
pnpm install
- Run the extension:
There are several ways to run the Roo Code extension:
Development Mode (F5)
For active development, use VSCode's built-in debugging:
Press F5 (or go to Run → Start Debugging) in VSCode. This will open a new VSCode window with the Roo Code extension running.
- Changes to the webview will appear immediately.
- Changes to the core extension will also hot reload automatically.
Automated VSIX Installation
To build and install the extension as a VSIX package directly into VSCode:
pnpm install:vsix [-y] [--editor=<command>]
This command will:
- Ask which editor command to use (code/cursor/code-insiders) - defaults to 'code'
- Uninstall any existing version of the extension.
- Build the latest VSIX package.
- Install the newly built VSIX.
- Prompt you to restart VS Code for changes to take effect.
Options:
-y: Skip all confirmation prompts and use defaults--editor=<command>: Specify the editor command (e.g.,--editor=cursoror--editor=code-insiders)
Manual VSIX Installation
If you prefer to install the VSIX package manually:
- First, build the VSIX package:
pnpm vsix - A
.vsixfile will be generated in thebin/directory (e.g.,bin/roo-cline-<version>.vsix). - Install it manually using the VSCode CLI:
code --install-extension bin/roo-cline-<version>.vsix
We use changesets for versioning and publishing. Check our CHANGELOG.md for release notes.
