What a VS Code verified publisher badge means, compared with Open VSX →
AI coding copilot for VS Code powered by the local Grok CLI — chat, agentic edits, slash commands, file & folder context, @-mentions, image paste, and live sessions in a focused sidebar.
Daily readings on both stores, taken by us. As of 25 Sept 2026.
Each bar is one day’s change in the store’s own counter. Days before 5 Sept are reconstructed from public archives rather than read by us.
Positions observed daily on both stores. Neither store publishes this, and the two run separate search engines over separate catalogues.
