README

Perpetual for VS Code

Perpetual is an open-source VS Code extension for running and coordinating Claude Code and Codex sessions without leaving your editor. It gives each task a persistent workbench, repository context, explicit execution controls, reviewable changes, durable transcripts, and optional cloud continuity.

Keep your work moving

Perpetual is built for the moment when an agent stops being available but the work is not finished. Keep one task moving across local agents, limit resets, and optional cloud runs without copying prompts or rebuilding context by hand.

Switch between Claude Code and Codex when limits hit. When the active provider reaches a usage limit, Perpetual can pause the run and continue the same task on the other ready agent with its context, repository state, and transcript intact.
Wait for recovery and resume automatically. If no fallback agent is ready, Perpetual can wait for the provider's reset, resume the task when it is available again, and switch back to the original provider when configured.
Hand work to the cloud when local execution cannot continue. Carry an eligible task to Claude Code on the web or Codex Cloud during sleep, shutdown, connectivity loss, or another configured handoff event. Perpetual monitors the cloud run and brings the result back into the local managed worktree for review.
Keep every transition reviewable. Durable transcripts, queued turns, checkpoints, managed worktrees, diffs, and approval state stay attached to the same task as it moves between agents and execution environments.

What Perpetual provides

One workbench for Claude Code and Codex

Perpetual puts both supported agent CLIs behind one VS Code workbench. Choose the preferred agent for each new session, keep separate session history, and switch between sessions withou
