I made a VS Code extension that shows when your AI repo map is stale
Heat trend
The percentage is based on available heat signal, not comment count or independent people.
A developer created a VS Code extension to address the issue of AI repository maps becoming stale. This extension displays the map's health in the status bar, allows one-click regeneration, and enables in-editor querying of ranked files. It also simplifies MCP server registration without manual configuration. The extension operates locally with the SigMap CLI, without a hosted repository index. The developer is seeking UX feedback, particularly on the utility of the status-bar grade versus simple notifications when the map is stale.
I kept generating repo maps for coding agents, then forgetting whether the map still matched the code.
So I made a small VS Code extension that shows the map health in the status bar, regenerates it in one click, lets you query ranked files in-editor, and can register the MCP server without editing config by hand.
It runs against the local SigMap CLI. No hosted repository index.
I’m mainly looking for UX feedback: is the status-bar grade useful, or would you rather only be notified when the map becomes stale?
