Description

Official documentation · 27 Sep 2026

Microsoft's own Visual Studio Marketplace listing, read live 2026-09-27 (via the built-in browser; a first WebFetch pass on the same URL was independently verified against the rendered page before being trusted, since the disclaimer's own alternative-product suggestion read as an unusual claim). Disclaimer text verbatim: "The Roo Code Extension was shut down on May 15th. If you're looking for an alternative, check out ZooCode (a fork started by the Roo Code community) and Cline (from where Roo Code originated). If you were a paying user and have billing questions, please write billing@roocode.com." License: "Apache 2.0 © 2026 Roo Code, Inc."
