Extensions & themes
Ingot installs extensions, color themes and icon themes from Open VSX, the open extension registry.
Install an extension
- Open the Extensions tool window (or run Extensions from Find Action, ⌘⇧A).
- Search Open VSX, then click Install.
- Installed extensions can be disabled or uninstalled from the same view.
Built-in language support
Ingot ships with the common language plugins (syntax highlighting, language servers for TypeScript, JSON, CSS, HTML, Markdown and more). If you build from source, npm install downloads them; run npm run download:plugins to fetch them again.
Themes
Install a color theme or icon theme from Open VSX, then set Appearance to custom and pick the theme under Settings › Appearance › Theme.
Skills, commands and MCP
Agent capabilities aren't extensions: add rules, skills and slash commands in .ingot/, and connect tools through MCP.
