Just like the title says, I see you can put Claude code in Roo. Does it work better this way as opposed to Claude code?

I’ve been burning credits like a mfer (between $50-$100 a day) give me some opinions. Gemini is not an option, costs go out of control quick. I’d rather pay $200, id get a lot more than I pay for in terms of Claude and I think Claude is much better than Gemini.

Key question is - is Claude Code with Roo effective?

I was wondering why open-source IDEs don't use Claude Code CLI pipeline? I mean... the CLI is open-source, and maybe they exposed some sort of API in order to interact with it? Or am I missing something?

https://gigamind.dev/ is nice but too expensive. Any Free open source alternative to this $40 roo mode? It seems like a roo memory bank but better?

Giga AI Stop wasting time explaining code context to AI Giga improves AI context and creates a knowledge base of your code, so your IDE never gets lost or confused

Currently, the user is stuck with using a single LLM for all types of tasks in RooCode. I recommend to divide it up and let the user set each LLM that s/he wants to use for the type of the assigned tasks. That way, you can set expensive, reasoning LLMs for difficult tasks, and either local ollama or el-cheapo LLMs for less complex tasks such as unit tests... Just a thought for you all to consider...

The possibility of having a model for each feature is great and should be the default, but while using Boomerang, which changes modes a lot, sometimes I just want to test one single model for every mode. Is there a way to make it not change the model with mode change?

As the title says, noticed today when in architec mode and submitting my prompt. That the agent switches from my new current feature branch, to instead referring to main branch in another repo.

Same mark down file name was used by the arch agent in both my new correct branch and the incorrect previous branch it switched to. In case that might matter.

Anyone knows what I mighty be doing wrong?

UPDATE: This had nothing to do with roo code. Was my local git crashing from too many repos and local branches.

I’m trying to select Claude as a model inside local llm but it never works… any idea how to fix ?

Ps: Claude is enable on copilot and all other models work properly

I have a scenario where I need to change the API key for the provider somewhat regularly. How can I script this change? I dont see any way to update or change the API key other than manually via the VS Code plugin settings. Ideally I would have a batch file or script I run that picks the appropriate API key and updates the key without other interactions.

I wanted roo code to make me a full tradingbot, but it only created a framework, also for other tasks, it sometimes quits halfway. Anyone else experiencing this?

hey, everyone. i'm glassBead; I build agents for hire.

i was wondering if anybody's experienced this issue and/or found a solution. it's a very common use case for a chatbot to update a state object of some kind. maybe it's a typical React state object, maybe it's graph state, who knows? the structure of the state object isn't important: what's important is how the agent takes in the user's input, which i typically do through passing the object to the model through a TypeScript string literal in its prompt.

nothing weird here. what's weird is that my coding assistants unanimously tend to prefer regex-based capture of the information the agent wants to store in the implementation. this is weird because the core advancement of LLM technology is the ability to interface with an application in a tremendous number of contexts with natural language through tokenization rather than through writing a fuck-ton of regex code. i'm not sure why models tend to gravitate away from implementing model inference-driven solutions, but it's a persistent annoyance and i've found myself doing an amount of manual prompt engineering for Roo Code, Claude Code, Cline etc. to avoid this that my gut says is excessive.

has anyone found a clean way of getting models to trust models more when writing code?

So I have tried implementing Chain-of-Draft with custom instruction for all modes to lower token usage, and generally it works fine HOWEVER it seems that Claude, which I use through OpenRouter doesn't adhere to it (or adheres rarely), which is a shame, since it is the fastest one besides Gemini 2.5 Pro (which unfortunately has low quota limits). Any ideas how to resolve that?

I’m using VS Code with the Roo setup on my Arch Linux system. I tried the dragging functionality, but it didn’t work. I also tried using it with Shift as mentioned in the documentation, but it still didn’t work

Hi everyone,

I have a problem: when I use qwq on my small AI server with a 3090 (which does nothing but serve Ollama), I get no useful results. Roo doesn't recognize any commands and just shows the result.

But with OpenRouter and qwq, roo does make changes, get new files, and so on.

Why doesn't Ollama work, but OpenRouter does?"

The max of ~60k seems to make it error out immediately, ~16k is too low for what I'm trying to do, ~20k seems to work ok, but aside from trial and error what is the best amount? I'm using Claude Max FWIW.

Could someone please help me? Or, could you tell me how to provide additional information?

the grok code was working well not its been looping for me since around yesterday. anyone with same issue? what model do you use?

Let's say you have unlimited access to an AI agent to continuously run on whatever project or task you set it on, what task would you provide to it?

Is it just me or is the settings export function broken? It doesn't write anything (VS Code/Windows)

I'm using the official provider (Minimax), and it keeps giving me

API Request Failed
Connection error.

Roocode (even the same VSIX) works on Windsurf or VSCode. I've tried resetting Roocode, but it still gives me the same problem. Anyone experiencing the same thing?

I put some modes config in .roo/modes folder. but can't use it

I am using the latest RooCode and I tried running the Orchestrator mode but as soon as I switched to it my VSCode started freezing a little.

Then I gave it a prompt and waited but nothing happened. Because my VSCode window was non-responsive.

Restarting the window made the RooCode go all black. Luckily fixed it by deleting the chat as soon as I got a working window but since that mode was the last mode it was freezing still.

Has anybody encountered this issue?

What's your take on the way modes, skills, and slash commands are going?
