Settings and Configuration

DevSpeak exposes several configuration options through VS Code's standard settings system.

Extension Settings

Open Settings (Cmd+, / Ctrl+,) and search for devspeak to see all available options:

| Setting | Default | Description |

|---|---|---|

| devspeak.apiEndpoint | https://www.devspeak.dev | DevSpeak API base URL |

| devspeak.defaultAudience | Senior Dev | Default target audience for new translations |

| devspeak.defaultContext | Backend | Default technical context |

| devspeak.defaultFormat | Technical Spec | Default output format |

| devspeak.defaultTone | 75 | Default tone slider value (10–90) |

| devspeak.enableCodeLens | true | Show CodeLens above annotated comments |

| devspeak.enableWorkspaceContext | true | Include workspace metadata in requests |

Workspace Context

When devspeak.enableWorkspaceContext is enabled, DevSpeak automatically includes metadata about your current project — language, framework, and key dependencies — in every translation request. This produces more relevant, context-aware output without manual configuration.
