Atlassian extension with Rovo Dev is now available in your VS Code!

Tanvi Kaur

We’re thrilled to announce that the Atlassian VS Code extension, now supercharged with Rovo Dev, is generally available!

The Atlassian VS Code extension has been the bridge between your IDE and the Atlassian tools you use every day. With Rovo Dev built in, that bridge is now powered by an AI agent that understands your code and your work context across Jira, Confluence and Bitbucket Cloud and even third party tools like Github (through Jira with Github)— all from inside VS Code.

Why this matters for your teams

Software teams lose hours every week switching between tools, hunting for the right ticket or document, and managing work across Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket, GitHub, and more. With Rovo Dev in the Atlassian VS Code extension, you get a seamless, native experience of AI-assisted development directly in your IDE: search, chat, apply edits, run tests, prepare commits, and more — without leaving your primary coding space.

With Rovo Dev in VS Code, you can:

• Chat about your code and get context fast

• Ask Rovo Dev questions about your codebase, Jira issues, or Confluence docs — without leaving the IDE. Get instant answers about architecture, dependencies, or best practices.

• Automate the busywork

• Offload tasks like drafting Jira issues, pull requests, and even code changes to Rovo Dev, which automatically pulls in the right context.

• Stay in your flow

• Get work suggestions, review code, and manage tasks directly from VS Code so you don’t have to break concentration.

• Receive alerts and act on them instantly

• View notifications for Jira issues assigned to you, pull request activity, code reviews, and more. Open issues, review PRs as they come in, or reply to comments without leaving your editor.

• Leverage the Atlassian ecosystem

• Because Rovo Dev understands your organization’s unique context, every answer is more tailored and relevant.

How Rovo Dev enhances your VS Code experience

• Mode control: Select different modes for Rovo Dev to have complete autonomy over AI actions 

  • Default mode: code and execute general updates inside a local repo, including the click file in the chat, and open that file.

  • Ask mode: query and understand a repo, while finding the right code to work on.

  • Plan mode: Tackle complete, multi-step code by generating a code plan

  • YOLO mode: Run all commands without confirmation and accepting each individual permission, de-frictions the permission process with Rovo Dev.

• Session management: automatically save session history, search and continue previous sessions. Fork sessions to duplicate originals and continue with new.
• File Context Aware: refer to your currently open files without having to type out the file path explicitly.
• See your changes and revert as need: See changes that Rovo Dev makes and revert using history panels and the native IDE diff UIs.
• Saved prompts: Use /prompts command to receive a list of saved prompts so users can recall them easily.
• Settings: settings file, mcp config, and global memory file management directly from Rovo Dev chat window and the search bar in your IDE.

Example Workflows

• Tackle existing Jira work items and create new ones: Directly from the IDE, ask Rovo Dev to start working on a Jira ticket you choose, with context pulled from code and other docs.

  • Starting on a Jira: “Rovo Dev, let’s plan our approach to Vitafleet-123 

  • View Jiras: Open the Jira Extension, create a Jira ticket with Rovo Dev.

• Create & Review PRs: Let Rovo Dev help you create PRs, auto-fill descriptions, and suggest reviewers.

  • View PRs: View and review PRs created with Rovo Dev within your IDE.

Cool stuff 👀 I've been playing with VS Code from time to time, but I never knew there was an extension for it 😅

@Tanvi Kaur just a note that these two links are a bit off:
