Complete reference of all Opentix VS Code commands and settings.

VS Code Settings

Configure Opentix per-developer through VS Code settings (Cmd+, / Ctrl+,). These override the team-shared config.yml.

SettingTypeDefaultDescription
opentix.aiContext.enabledbooleantrueGenerate CURRENT_TICKET.md with the active ticket context based on the current branch name. Set to false to stop auto-generating AI context files.

Setting Precedence

VS Code settings take priority over config.yml values:

VS Code setting  >  config.yml  >  built-in default

This allows individual developers to override team defaults without modifying the shared configuration.

Project Configuration (config.yml)

Team-shared configuration lives in .opentix/config.yml. See the Configuration reference for all fields and their defaults.
