Trama

Trama is an extension keeping an app map next to code and turning AI agent changes into proposals.

Trama keeps a map of your application next to your code as plain Markdown drawn as a diagram. Your AI agent reads this map before writing code, and every change arrives as a proposal that you must approve first. Users describe changes in plain words, answer agent questions, approve proposals, run tasks, and resolve drifts when the code and map disagree. The tool is designed for developers using AI coding agents. It supports VS Code, Linux, macOS, Windows, and the omp agent.
