Roo Code
Roo Code is an open-source VS Code extension for agentic edits. It grew out of the Cline line and adds modes such as coding, debugging, and architecture. You connect a model. The extension is free.

Preliminary
Editorial score out of 10. Not a benchmark.
What we tried
Installed it beside a normal VS Code setup and asked for a small bugfix in one file. Modes are useful once you read what each one is allowed to do.
Scores are preliminary editorial notes from a short hands-on pass. They are not benchmark results, not pass rates, and not for sale. A shared task suite is not published yet, so we do not print speed, cost, or success-rate figures.
Preliminary notes

- Agent work7/10
- Docs and control7/10
Good fit
- VS Code users who want a Cline-style agent with explicit modes
- Switching between a careful edit and a broader plan
Limits
- Another API-key product; the bill is the model's
- Overlaps with Cline, so pick one as the daily driver
