What is Roo Code?

Roo Code, formerly known as Roo Cline, serves as an AI-driven coding assistant embedded within Visual Studio Code, significantly enhancing software development productivity. With its capability for natural language interactions, users can easily generate code, refactor, debug, and update documentation. Furthermore, it can autonomously read and write files within the workspace, execute terminal commands, and carry out automated tasks in web browsers. Roo Code is compatible with a wide array of OpenAI-compatible or custom models and APIs and offers several customizable modes, including Code Mode for standard coding tasks, Architect Mode for system design, Ask Mode for inquiries, Debug Mode for troubleshooting, and tailored Custom Modes for specific functions. Additionally, it features the Model Context Protocol (MCP), which extends its integration capabilities with various external tools and APIs, thereby enhancing its adaptability across different development settings. This extensive suite of functionalities makes Roo Code an invaluable resource for developers aiming to optimize their workflows and elevate their productivity levels. Ultimately, the tool represents a significant advancement in the realm of software development, bridging the gap between human creativity and machine efficiency.

    Amazing tool

    Date: Aug 15 2025
    Summary

    Previously known as Roo Cline, this tool has evolved as quickly as AI itself is evolving. It is much simpler than using e.g. copilot agents, where you have to specify files for it to look at. Roo can index all your code and search it all to find the points it needs to update. The way it multiplies my ability is incredible.

    Positive

    Tons of features and new updates coming near daily. There is a large community in Discord and a ton of information available.

    Negative

    It can be a bit clunky when you have to use the VS code API rather than adding a direct API key to something like OpenRouter. I'm sure that has a lot to do with limitations in the VSC API.
