Feature Request: Enable AI Agents to Access Diagnostics in Problems Panel

[OleynikAleksandr]

Hello Kilo Code team,

I've recently started working with Kilo Code, but I've already grown to love it. The Orchestrator mode is simply amazing! However, as you get accustomed to the great features, you also start noticing nuances and areas for potential improvement. One such area relates to how AI agents interact with code diagnostics.

The Proposal:

I propose implementing a mechanism (e.g., an API or a dedicated tool) that allows AI agents to programmatically read the list of diagnostics (errors, warnings, information) currently displayed in the VS Code "Problems" panel.

The Problem:

Currently, when working with AI agents for tasks like debugging or code fixing, the agent doesn't have direct access to the specific issues identified by VS Code's linters, compilers, and language servers shown in the Problems panel. The workflow often requires the user to manually copy and paste this crucial information into the chat, which can be cumbersome and inefficient.

The Benefits:

Providing AI agents with read access to the Problems panel would unlock several key advantages:

Dramatically Improved Debugging: Agents could instantly see the exact errors the user is seeing, allowing for much faster, more accurate, and context-aware debugging assistance.
Proactive & Precise Fixes: Agents could proactively identify issues listed in the panel and offer more targeted code correction suggestions.
Streamlined Workflow: Eliminates the need for manual copy-pasting of errors, making the interaction between the developer and the AI agent much smoother.
Enhanced Contextual Understanding: Gives the agent a more complete picture of the code's current state and potential issues.
This feature would be particularly beneficial for AI agents operating in debugging modes or performing complex code analysis and refactoring tasks. It would represent a significant step forward in making AI coding assistants even more powerful and helpful.

Thank you for considering this feature request. I believe it would be a valuable addition for many developers using AI tools in their workflow.

Best regards,
Oleksandr

PS: It's worth noting that other AI coding assistants, like GitHub Copilot within VS Code, Cursor, and Windsurf, already seem capable of accessing diagnostics from the Problems panel. They often identify and suggest fixes for these issues automatically, which proves to be incredibly convenient. Implementing similar capabilities for Kilo Code would greatly enhance its utility.

This is a very interesting suggestion - thanks for adding it!

I knew this was something that Cursor and Windsurf could do but wasn't aware Copilot was doing it inside VS Code. That's good to know.

I do know that Kilo is good at knowing what's happening when it is running the commands but the Problems panel would be good to integrate with
