Beast Mode is a custom chat mode for VS Code agent that adds an opinionated workflow to the agent, including use of a todo list, extensive internet research capabilities, planning, tool usage instructions and more. Designed to be used with 4.1, although it will work with any model.
Important
This version differs from version 3 in several ways. Firstly, it employs Bing instead of Google, because Google blocks all requests due to anti-scraping measures. Secondly, it rectifies the incorrect tool names. Lastly, we instruct it to verify that the code it generates is not already present in the codebase to prevent duplicates.
- Go to the "agent" dropdown in VS Code chat sidebar and select "Configure Modes".
