CodeSherlock.AI Extension for Visual Studio Code

Don’t Just Write Code — Write Superior Code.

CodeSherlock is an AI-powered code analysis and improvement tool that integrates directly into Visual Studio Code, Cursor,Windsurf and GitHub Pull Requests. It provides AI Powered real-time feedback, commit-level checks, and PR reviews, ensuring your code is secure, maintainable, and enterprise-ready at every stage of development.

Why CodeSherlock?

High-quality, production-grade code doesn’t happen by accident. AI-assisted code generation tools often miss critical security, maintainability, and performance factors. Traditional static analyzers require configuration and run too late in the cycle.

CodeSherlock changes this.
It delivers instant, context-aware insights directly in your workflow—from the first keystroke in your editor to the final PR merge.

Key Benefits

• Real-Time Analysis (in Code Editor): As you type, CodeSherlock scans your code for maintainability, performance, security (including OWASP Top 10 checks), and provides Power Analysis — prioritizing the issues that matter most.
• Commit Analysis (in Code Editor): Every commit is scanned before it leaves your editor. This keeps the repository history clean and prevents technical debt from creeping in.
• Pull Request Analysis (in GitHub): Structured, AI-driven PR reviews that highlight high-risk changes, reduce reviewer fatigue, and speed up approvals.
• No Setup Required: Works out-of-the-box. No rulesets, no server config.
• Time Savings: Cut PR review turnaround times by up to 50%.
• Secure by Default: Detects critical vulnerabilities before they ship.
• Developer Learning Tool: Each suggestion doubles as a teaching moment.
