Codeforces Toolkit

Automate competitive programming workflows with polyglot Fast I/O templates and native Codeforces API integration.

Codeforces Toolkit is a lightweight, high-performance VS Code extension designed specifically for competitive programmers. It eliminates the repetitive friction of contest setups by providing instant, language-specific boilerplate injection and dynamically fetching problem metadata directly into your editor using standard CodeLens UI.

🚀 Features

1. Dynamic Polyglot Fast I/O Generation

Stop copying and pasting templates. Simply type cf followed by your target problem code (e.g., cf112A, cf800) to instantly inject a highly optimized, language-specific boilerplate.

• Automatically configures the fastest standard I/O streams for your active language.
• Seamlessly adapts to your keystrokes without conflicting with standard IntelliSense.
• Includes GCC-specific optimizations (like <bits/stdc++.h>) where applicable.

2. Native API Integration & CodeLens UI

Say goodbye to context-switching between your editor and the browser to check problem tags.

• Hover over any problem comment to reveal a custom ⚩ Fetch Codeforces Data CodeLens button.
• One click securely queries the Codeforces public API to retrieve the problem's official Name, Rating, Topics, and URL.
• Alternatively, execute the fetch manually via the Command Palette: Codeforces Toolkit: Fetch Problem Details.

💐 Usage

Step 1: Generate the Template Open an empty file and type your target problem code using the cf prefix:

cf131A
```@Hit `Enter`. The extension will immediately generate the optimized template:
```cpp
#include <bits/stdc++.h> // Includes every standard library
using namespace std;

// Problem 131A

int main() {
    // Fast I/O (Standard speedup, perfectly safe to remove)
    ios_base::sync_with_stdio(false);
    cin.tie(NULL);

    
    return 0;
}

Step 2: Fetch the Metadata Click the ⚩ Fetch Codeforces Data (131A) CodeLens that appears directly above your problem comment. The extension will format the data directly into your source code:

// Problem 131A: cAPS loCK
// Rating: 1000
// Topics: Implementation, Strings
// Link: https://codeforces.com/problemset/problem/131/A

🌌 Supported Languages

The toolkit detects your active file and injects the correct syntax and standard speedups for:

• C++ (.cpp)
• Python (.py)
• Java (.java)
• Rust (.rs)
• Go (.go)
• JavaScript (.js)
• C# (.cs)

♙ Installation

1. Open Visual Studio Code.
2. Navigate to the Extensions view (Ctrl+Shift+X or Cmd+Shift+X).
