Hi @worn sand. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

#

The knowledge sources don’t describe any generic “MSVS/VS Code setting” that makes code changes automatically, but they do describe two OpenAI ways to have your code edited for you:

  1. ChatGPT for macOS + VS Code (Work with Apps / Code edits)
    If you’re on macOS and using the ChatGPT desktop app with VS Code (or VS Code forks like Cursor, VSCodium, Windsurf), you can let ChatGPT generate and apply diffs directly to your open files—no copy‑paste. [Work with Apps; Code edits]

    High‑level setup from the docs:

    • Install ChatGPT for macOS and sign in.
    • In ChatGPT, go to Settings → Work with Apps → Manage Apps and add VS Code.
    • Open your project in VS Code, then open ChatGPT (Option+Space or from the menubar).
    • Make sure you see the banner that ChatGPT is “working with” VS Code. [Work with Apps]
    • Ask ChatGPT something like “Refactor this function” or “Fix this error in the current file.”
      ChatGPT will:
      • Read the open editor pane.
      • Propose a diff for the file.
      • Let you review and apply the diff, or auto‑apply it. You can undo via the ChatGPT UI or CMD+Z in VS Code. [Code edits; March 13 code edits]
#
  1. Codex IDE extension (VS Code & forks)
    OpenAI’s Codex has an IDE extension that runs inside VS Code / Cursor and can edit code for you based on prompts. [Codex updates]
    The docs here don’t give step‑by‑step install instructions, only that:
    • There is a Codex IDE extension for VS Code and compatible forks.
    • Once installed and signed in with your ChatGPT account, you can have Codex navigate your repo, edit files, and run commands/tests via the Codex CLI and extension. [Using Codex; Codex updates]

Because the sources don’t include the exact VS Code settings UI steps for installing/configuring the Codex extension, I can’t give more precise clicks or menu paths. If you clarify whether you’re on macOS with the ChatGPT app, or using the Codex extension, I can point you to the relevant OpenAI docs more specifically.

Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon:

i am getting questions like "Do you want me to fix the introduced syntax issues and create the missing game-state template file?"

does that count as a prompt question?
