What it needs

• A spacesheep Pro plan or above ($4.50 a month; Max and Team include it). sheepfold lists the sessions spacesheep's session hooks report, and the free plan has no session hooks: on it the sidebar stays empty. Plans.
• The spacesheep CLI, 1.26 or later, signed in, with session reporting on. Without it sheepfold shows nothing: it holds no credentials and talks to no server; it runs spacesheep sessions list.
• VS Code 1.90 or later, or Cursor.
• The Claude Code extension, to open sessions.

What it cannot do

• It opens a session in Claude Code only when the session's folder is open in this window. Every other session opens its page on spacesheep. Resuming in a new window or over SSH exists and is off by default (sheepfold.resume); it has not been watched working end to end.
• The newest 100 sessions, no filters. Sessions from other agents (spacesheep also tracks Codex and others) are listed; opening them has not been tried.
• In Cursor it installs from Open VSX; the sidebar has not been watched working there yet.
• It does not run in an untrusted workspace, so a folder's settings cannot choose the program it runs.

What it does

• A sidebar of your recent coding-agent sessions, grouped by project. Sessions that need you come first, then the working ones; idle and finished ones are capped at three per project.
• The activity-bar icon carries the number of sessions waiting for you. With none, one line says what is still working, or that all is quiet.
• When a session starts needing you, or finishes, the status bar says so for 15 seconds. One click goes there.
• A session started by another session (a script that runs claude -p for it) nests under it, from a small link file or spacesheep's parent_id.
• Every row says what a click will do: ↗ app (a folder not open here), ⇄ server (another machine), no transcript.
• The list keeps refreshing while the sidebar is hidden, at most once a minute, so the badge and the status bar keep up when you are not looking.

New in 0.6.0

Released 24 October 2026, on the Marketplace and Open VSX.

• spacesheep pages open in a VS Code tab, through the CLI's mirror (spacesheep mirror on, CLI 1.27 or later, which is not on npm yet); without a mirror they open in the browser. sheepfold.openIn picks editor or browser.
• "Open in Browser", in the tab's title bar and on a row's menu, takes a session's page to the spacesheep site, where you can send it messages.
• A session run through an Agent SDK (a forked or dispatched run) opens its spacesheep page instead of a blank Claude Code session. Its row says SDK.
• Works beyond one setup: Windows with an npm-installed CLI, a machine named as the CLI names it, a CLI pointed at another spacesheep site, VS Code builds with no Simple Browser.
• Resuming elsewhere (sheepfold.resume) goes to a window that already has the folder open, and says so with "Try again" when it cannot.
• Faster with many sessions: transcripts are found in their own project folder first, and a first prompt is read once.

Status bar: Baa, app: login needs you

Drawn from the demo script in the repo, whose sessions are made up: the moment app: login starts needing you. The badge counts two, because api: rate limits, on another machine, was already waiting.

Install

1. Install it. From the Marketplace, search sheepfold in VS Code's Extensions view, or run code --install-extension 220labs.sheepfold. In Cursor, search sheepfold in its Extensions view (it comes from Open VSX), or run cursor --install-extension 220labs.sheepfold.
2. Open the sheep in the activity bar. If it says the CLI was not found, set sheepfold.cli to the CLI's full path: VS Code started from the Dock may not see your shell's PATH.

Code
