Step-by-Step Instructions

1

In VS Code, open the Extensions view (Ctrl+Shift+X / Cmd+Shift+X) and search for CatalyX Daml Coding Assistant, or install it directly from the Visual Studio Marketplace. The extension requires VS Code 1.108 or newer.

Sign in / register

The extension prompts you to sign in — at startup, and again when you first request a completion. Click Log in (you can also run the command Daml Coding Assistant: Log In at any time), and a browser window opens for login.

Around the same time, the extension asks whether you want to share code snippets to help improve the model. This is off by default: completions work identically either way, and you can change your choice at any time via the daml-coding-assistant.shareCodeSnippets setting — see Usage & Settings.
