Roo Code Integration

Roo Code (formerly Roo Cline) is an advanced coding extension for VS Code supporting agentic execution and tools. Connect Roo Code to local GoingMerry models to enable offline programming capability.

1. Extension Configuration​

  1. Install Roo Code from the VS Code Extensions pane.
  2. Open the Roo Code panel in your sidebar and click the Settings gear.
  3. Select GoingMerry as the API Provider target.
  4. Input configuration values:
    • GoingMerry URL: http://localhost:11434
    • Model ID: Select your model (e.g. gemma4 or llama4).
  5. Click Done.

2. Setting Up Agent Rules​

To ensure local models follow agentic rules, define system instructions inside the Roo Code instructions panel:

  • Keep prompts concise.
  • Direct the model to output file diff blocks instead of full files to save context tokens.
