Roo Code Setup Guide

Install Roo Code

Install the Roo Code extension from the VS Code Marketplace and reload your editor.

Configure the API provider

Open Roo Code in the side panel → ⚙ Settings → API Provider. Pick "OpenAI Compatible" and fill in the fields below.

API Provider: OpenAI Compatible
Base URL: https://api.airforce/v1
API Key: YOUR_AIRFORCE_API_KEY

Set the model ID

Roo Code accepts any model name — type whichever Airforce model you want. Tool-calling capable models give the best results:

claude-sonnet-4.6
gpt-4o
deepseek-v3.2

Start coding

Open the Roo chat panel and ask it to read or modify files. Roo Code now uses Api.Airforce for all requests.

Recommended models for coding

• claude-sonnet-4.6
• claude-opus-4.6
• gpt-4o
• deepseek-v3.2

All four support tool-calling reliably. Sonnet 4.6 is the best all-round pick; deepseek-v3.2 is the cheapest.
