Description

Shut down. The README says the Roo Code extension was shut down on May 15th (2026) and the GitHub repo is archived (last release v3.54.0, 2026-05-15). It points users to ZooCode, a community fork, and to Cline, from which Roo Code originated. Listed for reference because many configs and guides still mention it. Features were mode-based (Code, Architect, Ask, Debug, custom modes) with MCP server support.
