The Problem

AI coding tools lose scope. They forget files, miss callers, break patterns, and produce code that doesn't match your codebase. You spend more time fixing their output than writing it yourself.

The Solution

AI Engineer splits the work into a multi-stage pipeline. Each stage runs in a fresh AI context with a single focused job — analyse, plan, verify, write, fix, test, review. Independent verification stages catch mistakes before they cascade.

The result: code that actually matches your existing patterns, doesn't break callers, and passes tests.


How It Works

  1. Open the AI Engineer sidebar
  2. Paste your ticket or issue description
  3. Click Start Pipeline
  4. Come back in 30–90 minutes to reviewed, tested code changes

What Makes It Different

  • Multi-stage pipeline — each stage runs as an isolated claude -p call with a single focused job. No bias carryover, no forgotten instructions.
  • Independent verification — separate reviewers verify each stage. If it fails, it loops back and revises automatically.
  • Claude Code's native tools — reads files, searches code, runs commands, and writes code using Claude Code's built-in capabilities.
  • Copies your patterns verbatim — extracts actual code from your repo and follows it exactly. No generic boilerplate.
  • Fixes what it breaks — runs your build tools and fixes errors. Runs tests and fixes failures.
  • Gets smarter each run — automatically learns your project's conventions and applies them next time.

Requirements

  • VS Code 1.93+
  • Claude Code CLI installed and authenticated (claude command available)
  • Pro subscription or higher — Pro may hit rate limits on larger tasks. For reliable full-pipeline runs, Claude Max or API billing is recommended.

Using GitHub Copilot instead? See AI Engineer (Copilot).


Pricing

Free — no trial, no subscription, no license key needed. You pay Anthropic for your Claude subscription, not us.


Cost Tracking

Each pipeline run makes 28+ Claude API calls. Cost is tracked live and reported at completion — pulled directly from Anthropic's API response, not estimated.


Privacy

  • Uses your own Claude subscription — your tokens, your data
  • No code sent to third-party servers
  • Pipeline working files cleaned up after completion
