A local multi-agent AI orchestration engine living inside your VS Code, controllable via a mobile app.
Nic Hyper Flow is a persistent cognitive architecture built for VS Code. It doesn't just autocomplete code; it reads files, edits in batches, manages persistent terminal sessions (node-pty), controls headless browsers (playwright), and reasons through a 64-state machine before acting.
Most AI extensions are simple API wrappers. Nic is built as a distributed system with a local core:
- Remote Control via Reverse Tunnels: Control the VS Code agent from your smartphone. The extension boots a local WebSocket server, exposes it via an ephemeral
cloudflaredtunnel, and pairs with the Flutter app via a secure QR code handshake. Read the Architecture Doc. - Local Persistence (SQLite): Chat history, context memory, and cognitive time-travel are stored locally using
sql.js, ensuring zero latency and total privacy for your data. - Single Source of Truth State Sync: Instant bidirectional state synchronization between the VS Code UI (React/Webviews) and the Flutter Mobile app using VS Code's native configuration API as the central event bus.
- Multi-Provider Adapter: Seamlessly hot-swaps between Claude 3.5 Sonnet, DeepSeek, OpenAI GPT-4o, Gemini, and local
Ollamamodels based on the cognitive load of the task.
The agent operates directly on your machine through secure tool interfaces:
apply_patch_batch: Atomic file edits with automatic rollback on failure.terminal_start/terminal_send: Spawns and interacts with persistent shell sessions.browser_action: Playwright integration to visually debug web apps.adb_input/adb_screenshot: Native Android device control for mobile UI debugging.- And over 50 more native tools.
This is a showcase repository.
The cognitive orchestration loop, state machine, and context chunking algorithms are proprietary and closed-source. However, this repository exposes the architectural boundaries, the tool implementations (src/tools/), the VS Code UI configuration, and the complete source code of the Flutter Remote Control app (remote_control/) to demonstrate the engineering standards.
