kipmox has two fix modes — Safe Mode and Auto Fix Mode. Safe Mode is the default for all users. It gives you full control over every fix before it touches your code.

​
The two modes

​
Safe Mode

In Safe Mode, kipmox generates a fix and waits for you to review it before applying anything to your code. Deploy errors:
  1. Click Analyze & Generate Fixes
  2. Review the Fixed Code, What Changed, and Confidence & Risk
  3. Click Apply Fix — the change applies and saves automatically, changed lines highlighted in green
  4. Not what you wanted? Click Undo Fix or press Cmd+Z / Ctrl+Z
Code Analysis:
  1. Click kipmox: 💡 Explain & Fix on a flagged line
  2. Review the fix in the Code Analysis panel
  3. Click Apply Fix — the change applies and saves automatically
  4. Not what you wanted? Click Undo Fix or press Cmd+Z / Ctrl+Z

​
Auto Fix Mode

In Auto Fix Mode, kipmox generates and applies fixes automatically — the Apply Fix button is skipped. The change is saved automatically with changed lines highlighted in green; undo anytime. Deploy errors:
  1. Click Analyze & Generate Fixes
  2. Each fix is generated, applied, and saved automatically
  3. Not what you wanted? Click Undo Fix or press Cmd+Z / Ctrl+Z
Code Analysis:
  1. Click kipmox: 💡 Explain & Fix on a flagged line
  2. The fix is generated, applied, and saved automatically
  3. Not what you wanted? Click Undo Fix or press Cmd+Z / Ctrl+Z
kipmox Auto Fix Mode in the VS Code status bar
In Auto Fix Mode, fixes are applied to your code immediately after generation. Always use Safe Mode when working against production orgs or any org with live users.

​
Switching modes

Switch modes two ways:
  • Status bar — click kipmox: Safe or kipmox: Auto at the bottom of the VS Code window.
  • Command Palette — run kipmox: Toggle Safe Mode (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P).
You’ll see a confirmation:
  • Switching to Safe Mode: “kipmox: Safe Mode enabled — fixes require manual approval”
  • Switching to Auto Fix Mode: “kipmox: Auto Fix Mode enabled — fixes apply automatically”
The mode persists across sessions — kipmox remembers your last setting.
Safe Mode — the deterministic check passes and an Apply Fix button waits for your approval
Auto Fix Mode — the deterministic check passes and the fix is already applied, shown as Fix Applied

​
When to use each mode

Use Safe Mode when:
  • Working against a production org or any org with live users
  • Applying fixes with a Medium or Low confidence rating
  • Applying a fix that carries a risk note
  • You want to understand every change before it goes into your code
Use Auto Fix Mode when:
  • Working in a personal development sandbox
  • Iterating quickly through multiple deploy-fix cycles
  • All generated fixes are High Confidence and Safe fix rated
  • You are familiar with the codebase and comfortable with automatic changes
A good default workflow: use Safe Mode everywhere, switch to Auto Fix Mode only in your dev sandbox when you need to move fast.

Common issues

The kipmox mode toggle appears in the VS Code status bar at the bottom of the screen. If it is not visible, make sure kipmox is installed and active — open any supported file (.cls, .trigger, .js, .html) to activate the extension. If it still doesn’t appear, run Developer: Reload Window from the Command Palette.
You are in Auto Fix Mode. Click kipmox: Auto in the status bar to switch back to Safe Mode. If a fix was already applied that you want to revert, click Undo Fix in the notification or use Cmd+Z / Ctrl+Z in the editor.
Click Undo Fix in the notification, or press Cmd+Z / Ctrl+Z. kipmox auto-saves when a fix is applied, but VS Code keeps undo history across the save, so you can always revert.
