Using the Platfory extension

A two-minute guide. New here? Install first →

1. After you install

1
Open the Command Palette (⇧⌘P on macOS, Ctrl+Shift+P on Windows/Linux) and run Platfory: Sign in.
2
Your browser opens - approve with GitHub or Google, and the editor stores your session.
3
A one-time consent screen shows exactly what will change - for Claude Code, a single statusLine entry in ~/.claude/settings.json, with a byte-exact backup.
Nothing is applied until you accept, and "Platfory: Restore" reverts it completely.

2. Commands

Everything runs from the Command Palette:

Platfory: Sign inOpens your browser to sign in with GitHub, then stores your session in the editor.
Platfory: Sign outSigns out and reverts every change the extension made.
Platfory: Pause adsStops showing sponsored lines without signing out.
Platfory: Resume adsResumes showing sponsored lines.
Platfory: Restore (revert all changes)Reverts every change to your tool config and verifies the revert.
Platfory: Show statusShows whether you're signed in and active, and your integrated tools.

3. Confirm it's working

Run Platfory: Show status - it should say you're signed in and active. The sponsored line renders in Claude Code's status line, so you'll see it while Claude Code is running and thinking. Your balance updates on your dashboard.

4. Troubleshooting

"command not found: code / cursor" in the terminal

Your editor's CLI isn't on your PATH. Either use the one-line installer on the Install page (it finds your editor automatically), or run Shell Command: Install 'code' command in PATH from the Command Palette first.

I signed in, but no sponsored line appears

Two things are needed: an active ad to serve (there must be a live campaign in the marketplace), and Claude Code actually running (that's the status line we render into). Run Platfory: Show status to confirm you're active.

The browser opened but nothing came back to the editor

Approve the sign-in in the browser tab; it deep-links back to your editor automatically. If your OS asks whether to open your editor, allow it, then run Platfory: Show status.

5. Turning it off

Use Platfory: Pause ads to stop temporarily, Platfory: Restore to revert every change (verified), or simply uninstall the extension - which restores automatically.

6. Configuration

The API endpoint is the platfory.apiBaseUrl setting, defaulting to https://www.platfory.ai/api. Leave it as-is for the live service.
