The SigRank ecosystem

Repo	What it is	Install
sigrank-vscode (this repo)	The IDE extension — see your cascade metrics inline in VS Code.	code --install-extension sigrank.sigrank
sigrank-app	The leaderboard — signalaf.com. Privacy-preserving operator profiles, class tiers, board rankings.	signalaf.com
sigrank-mcp	The instrument — extracts 4 token pillars, computes the cascade, submits to the leaderboard. MCP server + TUI dashboard.	npx sigrank
signaf	The coach — reads your session logs, builds a taste profile, measures ASI, coaches you on token efficiency.	npx @burnmydays/signaf
fundscore	The repo scorer — investor-readiness scoring for GitHub repos. CLI + MCP server.	npx fundscore

Why use the extension?

The SigRank CLI (npx sigrank) gives you the full TUI dashboard. The VS Code extension brings the same metrics to where you already work — your editor — with:

• Status bar — live Υ Yield + class tier, always visible while coding
• Sidebar dashboard — full cascade metrics without leaving the editor
• Leaderboard view — see where you rank without context-switching
• MCP bridge — let Copilot or Claude Code call SigRank tools directly from VS Code

Installation

From VS Code Marketplace

1. Open VS Code
2. Go to Extensions (Ctrl+Shift+X / Cmd+Shift+X)
3. Search for "SigRank"
4. Click Install

From .vsix

code --install-extension sigrank-vscode-x.x.x.vsix

Prerequisites

• Node ≥ 18
• npx sigrank (auto-installed on first run)
• macOS or Linux

Features

Status bar cascade

Shows your live Υ Yield, class tier, and rank in the VS Code status bar. Updates automatically on a configurable interval. Click to open the full dashboard.

Sidebar dashboard

A sidebar panel with your full cascade metrics (Υ Yield, Leverage, Velocity, SNR, 10xDEV, class tier) across all four scoring windows (7d / 30d / 90d / all-time). Shows your raw token pillars (input, output, cache-write, cache-read) and the deterministic prose card.

Leaderboard view

A second sidebar panel showing the live public SigRank leaderboard — every ranked operator with their yield, leverage, velocity, class, and rank position.

MCP server bridge

Optionally runs the SigRank MCP server inside VS Code so AI clients (Copilot, Claude Code, etc.) can call sigrank tools directly from the editor — tokenpull, get_leaderboard, rank_paste, submit_verified, and 11 more.

Commands

Command	Description
SigRank: Refresh Metrics	Pull your latest token data and refresh the leaderboard
SigRank: Open Dashboard	Focus the cascade sidebar
SigRank: Open Leaderboard	Focus the leaderboard sidebar
SigRank: Submit Signed Snapshot	Publish your token counts to the board
SigRank: Dry Run (Inspect Payload)	See the exact payload before submitting
SigRank: Start MCP Server	Start the MCP server for AI client integration
SigRank: Stop MCP Server	Stop the MCP server

Configuration

Setting	Default	Description
sigrank.autoRefresh	true	Automatically refresh metrics on load
sigrank.refreshIntervalSeconds	300	Auto-refresh interval (min 60s)
sigrank.mcpServerEnabled	false	Start MCP server automatically when VS Code opens
sigrank.apiBaseUrl	https://signalaf.com	SigRank API base URL
sigrank.statusBarFormat	Υ {yield} · {class}	Status bar format. Variables: {yield}, {leverage}, {velocity}, {snr}, {class}, {rank}

Requirements

• Node ≥ 18
• npx sigrank (installed automatically on first run via npx)
• macOS or Linux

Privacy

Token counts only. Never your prompts. The extension reads local session logs and publishes signed token counts — four integers and a signature. No prompt content, no code, no transcripts. Run SigRank: Dry Run to inspect the exact payload before anything leaves your machine.
