Trae

ByteDance's AI IDE. Open VSX; full support.

Planned Designed and scheduled, not yet built. Documented so the design can be reviewed early.

Trae is a VS Code-based AI IDE from ByteDance, available for macOS and Windows. Desktop application, local extension host, so everything works.

Install

Trae uses Open VSX. Search Vulnetix in the Extensions view.

If search is unavailable in your build, download the .vsix from Open VSX and use Extensions: Install from VSIX in the Command Palette.

Worth knowing

Builder mode output is scanned as it is written. Trae’s agentic mode produces multi-file changes; each file is checked as it lands, so problems surface during the change rather than after.

No inference cost. Scanning is local rule evaluation and does not consume model quota or send code to a provider.

Version currency. Trae tracks a VS Code base that moves; the extension requires 1.96 or newer. If activation fails, check Help → About for the underlying VS Code version. Every feature Vulnetix uses is long-stable API, so a recent build will be fine.

A note on support

Trae is newer than most editors on this list and moves quickly, so this page may lag its releases. If something does not behave as documented, open an issue with your Trae version and we will fix the page or the extension.
