Available modes

Qodo IDE plugin, formerly Qodo Gen, brings local code review workflows to JetBrains and VS Code as part of the Qodo Platform.

Each mode has its own purpose, instructions, and tool access, so you can get started quickly without having to configure anything.

How to change modes

To use a mode, choose it from the mode dropdown menu in the bottom-left corner of Qodo. Once selected, the mode stays active across messages, adapting to your session’s needs and maintaining context as you go.
