The following integrations are available for **Visual Studio Code**: * _Lightbulb_: Menu you access by clicking next to the code blocks and can use to generate [docs](https://sourcecraft.dev/portal/docs/en/code-assistant/operations/quick-actions.md#docs) and [tests](https://sourcecraft.dev/portal/docs/en/code-assistant/operations/quick-actions.md#test). * _CodeLens_: Buttons above the code blocks you can use to generate docs and tests and [set up actions displayed in codelenses and lightbulbs](https://sourcecraft.dev/portal/docs/en/code-assistant/operations/quick-actions.md#set-actions). * _Context menu_: Right-click menu you can use to generate docs and tests, [send selected code to the chat](https://sourcecraft.dev/portal/docs/en/code-assistant/operations/quick-actions.md#send-to-chat), request code [autocompletion](https://sourcecraft.dev/portal/docs/en/code-assistant/operations/quick-actions.md#autocompletion)/[improvements](https://sourcecraft.dev/portal/docs/en/code-assistant/operations/quick-actions.md#provide-improvements), or [generate a commit message](https://sourcecraft.dev/portal/docs/en/code-assistant/operations/quick-actions.md#commit) in the [Git](https://git-scm.com/) version control system. * _Slash (/) commands_: You can use the **Slash Commands** selector in the chat toolbar to request [text generation](https://sourcecraft.dev/portal/docs/en/code-assistant/operations/quick-actions.md#test) or [code improvement](https://sourcecraft.dev/portal/docs/en/code-assistant/operations/quick-actions.md#provide-improvements) for the file opened in the editor, [generate a commit message](https://sourcecraft.dev/portal/docs/en/code-assistant/operations/quick-actions.md#commit) in the [git](https://git-scm.com/) version control system, and invoke [AI code review](https://sourcecraft.dev/portal/docs/en/code-assistant/operations/quick-actions.md#review). For **JetBrains IDEs**, there are codelenses that can generate docs and tests. {% note warning %} You can tailor the quick actions prompt to your project's requirements.
