Ycode AI

Ycode is your personal, AI-powered coding assistant built directly into VS Code. Powered by Google's Gemini, it understands your uncommitted code changes and project architecture, explaining them in simple terms.

Features

  • Explain Recent Changes: Gets a snapshot of your uncommitted Git diffs and provides a high-level summary, a detailed file-by-file breakdown, or answers specific questions about individual files.
  • Explain Project Architecture: Maps out your workspace directory structure and reads your package.json to deliver a profound architectural analysis of your project.
  • Simplify Copied Text: Copy any complex explanation or block of code, and Ycode will read your clipboard to break it down into easy-to-understand terms.
  • Beautiful UI: All explanations are rendered in a seamless, native VS Code Webview tab that matches your active theme.

Setup

  1. Install the extension.
  2. Go to your VS Code Settings (Cmd+, or Ctrl+,) and search for Ycode.
  3. Enter your Google Gemini API Keys in the respective fields:
    • Explain Api Key: For code changes and copied text.
    • Architecture Api Key: For architectural analysis.

Usage

Simply click the ✨ Ycode AI button in your Status Bar (bottom right) to open the interactive menu!
