Editor status bar — VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf

One quiet status bar item that puts your local matcher's output where you'll actually see it:

💬 2 unread · ✉ 1 intro · ✦ 25 roles
  • ✦ roles — curated role matches from your latest local refresh
  • ✉ intros — inbound intro requests waiting on your yes/no
  • 💬 unread — messages from developers you've connected with
  • Hover for your top matches as clickable links; click for a three-item menu (open dashboard, run th inbox in a terminal, hide until restart)

Install

Requires the terminalhire CLI — the extension renders the CLI's local cache; the item deep-links to the installer if the CLI isn't set up.

The opposite of ads in your editor

Editor real estate keeps getting sold. This item is status for a tool you run, not a sponsored slot — and it's built to be provably boring:

  • Zero network. The extension makes no network calls of any kind. The only outbound action is opening a link in your browser when you click one.
  • Read-only. It renders ~/.terminalhire/index-cache.json; the CLI is the sole writer. Your profile never leaves your machine.
  • One statusbar item. No popups, no notifications, no webviews, no self-update, and it never touches other extensions or editor files.

Versioning

The extension versions independently of the CLI. It reads a versioned cache format and tells you (quietly) if your CLI is too old or too new — the pair never guesses.
