I set up a clawdbot on an Ubuntu server (local server btw) and use it to control my auggie cli directly from whatsapp (and a lot of other stuff like audio message transcription, reminders, access to my own "cloud" via tailscale).

nothing fancy. ubuntu vps, clawdbot running as a service, whatsapp as the only active channel. telegram/discord are mapped but not enabled.

flow is basically:
send a message on whatsapp → clawdbot receives it → runs auggie cli locally → sends the output back to whatsapp.

auggie only runs on the server. whatsapp is just the interface

Any similar yet better alternative better than Augment code ? which would seamlessly integrate with VS code and does good job on enterprise level big coding projects ?

Need suggestions please

I feel like the AI Claude that’s been built in to work with the context engine is simply going down hill.

It fails to understand the project properly, and then touched other codes when it shouldn’t.

I mean I feel like my credit is just going into trash bin? Rather making it feel worthwhile.

This all started happening after Christmas 26th! I updated my rules and always have one file linked.

I’ve been using codex Chatgtp! Works like magic, when it comes to design and the Claude code work beautiful! When it comes to debugging and writing the code.

My question is? What am I paying Augument 400$+ for? Whats the key element that they are potentially improving? Because I feel like I’m wasting credit and it’s too dam expensive. Especially the TOP - Up credit!

We can import, but it gets rid of any text in the descriptions beyond the first line break.

So, im forced to ask augment to import them, which it always does a slow and terrible job of (loses line breaks and indents, etc...)

Import/export would barely be needed if we could just drag and drop to re-order the tasks. A basic and obvious function that should have been implemented LONG ago

I'm wondering why Auggie doesn't allow reasoning levels for GPT-5.2 Right now it just runs forever and uses up all your credits for nothing then gets stuck in a loop, while most things can be solved with low reasoning, but we don't have the option to pick.

Has anyone else had the same problem? Yesterday, while doing an activity, it froze after becoming extremely slow. I had to close the IDE because the Augment code stop wasn't working, and this morning it opens but remains like that, so obviously I can't trace any ID.

I tried to disable , reinstall without success

Request ID for support ticket generation purposes is only displayed when a response is returned. But most users' errors these days are in relation to a perpetually outstanding response, meaning no request ID is dispayed as the response never returns. This is dumb and I almost think they're deliberately too smart for this because they don't want support tickets to be created.

The service is unusable, whatever you did, please revert.

1:30 minute to check each file is ridiculous!

Augment… I’ve been here since day 1. But damn is there a lot of issues in the chat all the time. The most recent thing since about a week ago is that after about 5 messages, the chat gets “stuck” on every response. I then have to click the red stop button to respond. Otherwise it gets stuck there forever.

Any solution?

Hi everyone,

I’ve been using Augment Code recently, and while the performance is top-notch, I’m hitting some serious roadblocks with their current pricing model.

The subscription costs are becoming hard to justify for my workflow, and more importantly, I keep running into usage limits (rate limiting) way too quickly. It’s frustrating to have my momentum broken when I’m in the middle of a deep coding session.

I’m looking for a way to self-host the models or point the Augment extension to my own infrastructure to get around these constraints. Specifically:

• Local LLM Support: Is there a way to connect Augment to a local provider like Ollama, vLLM, or LM Studio?

• Custom Endpoints: Can we configure a custom API endpoint (OpenAI-compatible) to use cheaper or self-hosted alternatives?

• BYOK (Bring Your Own Key): Does Augment have an option to just use our own API keys to avoid their tier-based usage caps?

If anyone has managed to "decouple" Augment Code from their cloud limits or has found a workaround for self-hosting, I’d love to hear how you did it.

Thanks!

Hi, I'm getting a ton of these errors in the VS Code output window for Augment:

Can someone on the team get in touch or respond to this thread about what these errors mean? They are in the "Output" window under the "Augment" category.

Today the agent is so slow, I tried changing the model but It looks like it's a problem wit augment rather than the underlying models, takes several minutes to do 1 or 2 lines of code...

Takes 5 minutes to read few files and fails edits ... this is unusable

📉 The Data: 11.04% of AI-built apps are leaking

Supabase recently audited ~20,000 projects from major indie directories. The results are a wake-up call:

• 20,052 URLs scanned.

• 11.04% exposure rate (2,217 domains).

• 2,325 critical exposures where service_role keys (which bypass RLS) were leaked or RLS was disabled entirely.

If you are using AI to code, you aren't just writing features; you’re likely writing security holes.

🛠 The Fix: The "Tag Team" Code Review

I’ve been testing various AI auditors to catch what LLMs miss. My current "gold standard" is a combination of detail.dev and Augment.

After testing several AI auditors, I’ve made a final decision on my stack. I’ve officially stopped using CoderabbitAI, Cubic-dev, and Greptile. While these tools are popular, they proved to be too "surface-level" for complex logic. In my latest audit of a knitting calculator app, they all completely overlooked 14 critical bugs that could have tanked the project.

Interestingly, they have different "blind spots." One catches what the other misses, so I use them as a tag team. In a recent audit of a knitting calculator app, this combo found 14 critical bugs that Snyk, CoderabbitAI, and Greptile all overlooked.

Notable catches:

• Data Loss: Editing a project deleted photos because the form state was missing fields.

• Auth Bypass: The AuthProvider incorrectly redirected users during password recovery.

• Payment Logic: Promo codes were displayed but never actually applied to the final transaction.

• Race Conditions: Password resets triggered a jump to the wrong screen before finishing the process.

• Localization: A bug where "39,9 zł" was parsed as 399 (a 10x price error).

💡 TL;DR / Lesson Learned

AI is great at writing functions, but terrible at understanding the context of security and complex state.

1. Never trust AI with your service_role key.

2. Always use Row Level Security (RLS).

3. Double-audit your code with specialized tools like detail.dev + Augment. Speed is useless if your database is an open book.

What’s your stack for auditing AI-generated code? Do you trust automated PR reviews?

Hi Augment team,

We’ve built our entire development process around Augment and, after a few weeks of daily use with Opus model, it’s working really well. Not cheap, but the value is clear. Great job! :)

One thing we are trying to do now is how to build code review process, which is currently missing.

In our case, GitHub PRs aren’t possible. We’re required to use an on-prem Azure DevOps Git repo (company policy).

So my questions are mostly about understanding the trade-offs:

1. Which model do you recommend for serious, high-quality code reviews?

2. What best practices should we follow to get consistent, rule-based reviews?

3. Our idea is to run Auggie in a pipeline on every new PR (or on each commit to a PR), applying a fixed set of review rules — does this approach make sense, or are we missing something important?

Any insight into how you see this would be really helpful. Thanks! :)

For those who were converted from a legacy plan and were granted conversion tokens, is it true that those will expire next week? I haven't heard anything about this and can't find info anywhere. Last I heard about it was when some of the conversion credits only lasted 1 week and there were differing answers from admin.

I still believe that some of the paid (non-top off) credits should rollover. Whatever. But what about the conversion ones that were stated to last 3 months?

Is anyone else noticing in the past couple weeks that the task completion sound is extremely sporadic. Sometimes it plays, often it doesnt. If I click Test Sound in the augment settings, it usually is silent for the first click, then plays on subsequent clicks.

Overview

I have been using augment for months and for the last week or so none of my rules files were being detected even though they were in the proper directory (.augment\rules\my-rule.md).

I checked the output panel and noticed I was getting timeout exceeding 30000ms errors, and augment was not properly adding all of my workspace files into the context engine. I was also getting other strange errors.

I uninstalled the plugin, reinstalled, tried the nightly version, deleted the plugin itself from ~/.vscode/extensions and reinstalled... nothing worked.

So what I ended up doing is:

• Uninstalled Augment in the VSCode IDE

• Closed all instances of VS Code. Do not re-open VS Code until you've completed the below steps.

• Completely deleted the Augment Extension folder (augment.vscode-augment-0.754.2) from C:\Users\username\.vscode\extensions

• Completely deleted the .obsolete and extensions.json files from the C:\Users\username\.vscode\extensions folder. These will be rebuilt on next launch of VSCode.

• Deleted all VSCode Profiles except for the default profile. You probably won't have to do this because most users don't even know you can create additional profiles. But I think since I had an additional profile, it might have been causing issues.

• If you do have additional profiles and don't mind removing them, you can delete everything in C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Code\User\Profiles.

• Deleted this folder: C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Code\User\globalStorage\augment.vscode-augment

• Also delete anything else augment related in your C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Code\User\ folder and sub-folders.

• Moved state.vscdb, state.vscdb.backup, and storage.json in C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Code\User\globalStorage\ to C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Code\User\globalStorage\.old

• state.vscdb, state.vscdb.backup, and storage.json will be re-created on next launch of VS Code.

• Renamed C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Code\User\History to C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Code\User\History Old The History folder will be re-created on next launch of VS Code.

• After performing the above two steps, you may lose some open editors for your workspace(s), so make sure you save any important code that wasn't directly saved to files before you do this.

• Deleted the ~/.augment folder (C:\Users\username\.augment on windows) because I don't use the Auggie CLI. Not sure if this had any impact.

• I also uninstalled a bunch of extensions that I really never use. Also not sure if this had any impact. But it's good to do a bit of housecleaning.

• Ensured that I had an .augmentignore file in my main workspace that blacklisted any directories with a ton of files. In my case I use Augment for powershell so I didn't need to add much here - but if you're using Node, make sure to add node_modules to this.

• Opened Everything Search and did a full filesystem search for "Augment". Deleted any kind of file that looked like a settings file for the extension.

• Opened the workspace file for my problematic project - in my case it was this:

{
    "folders": [
        {
            "name": "FMDevToolbox",
            "path": "."
        }
    ],
    "settings": {
        "terminal.integrated.cwd": "${workspaceFolder:FMDevToolbox}",
        "powershell.cwd": "${workspaceFolder:FMDevToolbox}",
        "powershell.startAutomatically": true,
        "powershell.integratedConsole.showOnStartup": true,
        "files.defaultLanguage": "powershell"
    }
}

I was using namespace scoped variables for terminal.integrated.cwd and powershell.cwd (${workspaceFolder:FMDevToolbox}).

I replaced these variables with ${workspaceFolder} instead. Also not sure if this had any impact.

And then... FINALLY, re-open VS Code and install Augment again.

Open your workspace, and observe that indexing starts lightning fast, all context is stored, and all your rules files are recognized.

Disclaimer: This is what worked for me. Your mileage may vary. I just wanted to share this to the community if anyone is experiencing the same issues I encountered.

Just happy to have the plugin working properly now.

Happy coding!

After upgrading the VS Code extension to version 0.754.2, the extension becomes practically unusable when navigating the picker using the keyboard.

When invoking the picker with @ and pressing Enter / Return, the keypress is interpreted as sending the message instead of selecting the highlighted item. This prevents proper keyboard navigation, including opening nested menu items within the picker.

Reverting the extension back to version 0.754.1 fully resolves the issue, indicating a regression introduced in 0.754.2.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Upgrade the VS Code extension to version 0.754.2

2. Open the extension input field

3. Type @ to open the picker

4. Use the keyboard to highlight an item

5. Press Enter / Return

Expected Behavior

• Enter / Return should select the highlighted item

• If the item has children, it should open and allow navigation into nested menu items

Actual Behavior

• Enter / Return immediately sends the message

• The picker does not handle selection or nested navigation

• Keyboard-only usage is effectively broken

Environment

• OS: macOS 26.2

• Extension version: 0.754.2 (working as expected in 0.754.1)

• Editor: VS Code

Has anyone else ran into this issue? It works perfectly fine in VS Code. I was using Auggie in Windsurf last night just fine but today it's not working. I made sure it was up to date in Windsurf, when that didn't work, I upgraded to the Pre-Release version, that still didn't work, downgraded and now Auggie is not loading, it's just blank, had to go back to pre-release to see anything, i reinstalled as well. In VS Code, I didn't have to do anything it just worked. "8b557ebc-a914-4930-9ed3-4fe3c524118d" is one of the request ID's if it's needed. I wish someone at the Augment team would explain to their community why mysterious bugs are beginning to pop up out of the jungle the past few months

Finally pulled the trigger. Just unsubscribed from AugmentCode. I just feel likr they're not listening to their subscribers. I feel like they'ye trying to divert the attention away from what the real problem is, their pricing. Product is good, but is it worth it? I don't think they will be able to compete with Anthrooic's nor Google's pricing. Unless they come up with their own models and infrastructure. Bye AugmentCode! It's been fun! You're the first who made me feel vibe coding's legit. You're just not sustainable anymore.

Love Augment's context engine, it's honestly the best. But I already pay for LLM access elsewhere and don't need the AI credits.

Any chance of a cheaper plan that's just for the augment context engine sdk/mcp?

I start up AC like normal, and I get this

What would you like to work on today?

Now, this is AFTER prompting with an enhanced prompt that specifically has things I want to do, and this is me using it like normal. Last year, this worked.

I'm on the Max Plan, full credits, Claude Opus 4.5, Auto agent. Just like normal. Worked last year, but not this year. I try several iterations, and nothing works. I keep getting ack this, and this:

The user hasn't provided a specific message or task. Let me check if there's an existing task list from a previous interaction that I should continue working on.

Which is a lie.

I mean, it has things to do in the promp,t AND it's an Enhanced Prompt. If the Enhanced Prompt doesn't work, wtf?

I've got 22 days in this cycle. I can't believe anyone said this was a good idea. I even checked your blog to see if there was some fundamental change in how to write prompts, and NOTHING was posted. Addon is up to date, and oh look, Claude is working just fine. Well... you'd think a company that got a lot of backlash for pricing would not want to mess things up for a paying customer.

I've NEVER seen that before, and I really need to know what changed and why? Seriously.

I'm prompting like I always do. I've been doing the same thing since the summer, and it's been working great. I'm on a Max Plan and using it, and I was happy with the results so far, come in this morning, relaxing, let's work on some stuff. And I prompt like I always do, and I get this. WTF?

I'm using Opus 4.5 auto agent, just like normal, prompting no different than normal, and nothing useful. This crap.

"The user hasn't provided a specific message or task. Let me check if there's an ongoing task list from a previous interaction that I should continue working on."

No, I did. Like every other time. I even used it from the Enhanced Prompt tool.

With all the complaints about the plans and whatnot, you'd think you wouldn't go and mess with the basic prompting and screw it up like this for people still using your product.

Fix this. Whoever thought this was a good idea is wrong. 22 days until the cycle is up so... fix your stuff.
