🔑 Setup

API Key Configuration

NeuroFile requires an OpenAI API key to function. Set it up in one of these ways:

Option 1: Environment Variable (Recommended)

# Add to your shell profile (.bashrc, .zshrc, etc.)
export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"

Option 2: VS Code Settings

1. Open VS Code Settings (Ctrl/Cmd + ,)
2. Search for "NeuroFile"
3. Enter your OpenAI API key

Getting an OpenAI API Key

1. Visit OpenAI's website
2. Sign up or log in to your account
3. Navigate to API Keys section
4. Create a new API key
5. Copy and use it in NeuroFile

🎮 Usage

Access NeuroFile

• Activity Bar: Click the NeuroFile icon in the left sidebar
• Command Palette: Press Ctrl+Shift+P (or Cmd+Shift+P) and search "NeuroFile"

Available Commands

Interactive Panel Features

The NeuroFile panel provides:

• Real-time Results: See AI analysis results instantly
• Ask Questions: Type questions about your code
• Save to Markdown: Export any analysis as a markdown file
• Visual Interface: Clean, modern UI for better readability

📖 Examples

File Summarization

// Your complex TypeScript file
class DataProcessor {
  async processData(data: any[]): Promise<ProcessedData[]> {
    // Complex logic here...
  }
}

NeuroFile Output:

# File Summary

## Purpose
This file defines a DataProcessor class responsible for transforming raw data arrays into processed format.

## Key Components
- **DataProcessor Class**: Main processing engine
- **processData Method**: Async method handling data transformation
- **Error Handling**: Built-in error management for data validation

## Side Effects
- Modifies input data structure
- May throw validation errors
- Returns Promise for async handling

Code Selection Analysis

Select any code block and get instant analysis:

• What the code does
• Potential improvements
• Security considerations
• Performance implications

Time Complexity Analysis

// Select this function
function bubbleSort(arr) {
  for (let i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
    for (let j = 0; j < arr.length - i - 1; j++) {
      if (arr[j] > arr[j + 1]) {
        [arr[j], arr[j + 1]] = [arr[j + 1], arr[j]];
      }
    }
  }
  return arr;
}

NeuroFile Analysis:

# Time Complexity Analysis

## Complexity: O(n²)

## Explanation
- **Outer Loop**: Runs n times
- **Inner Loop**: Runs (n-1), (n-2)... times
- **Total Operations**: n × (n-1)/2 ≈ n²/2
- **Classification**: Quadratic time complexity

## Optimization Suggestions
- Consider Quick Sort O(n log n) average case
- Merge Sort for guaranteed O(n log n)
- For small arrays, insertion sort might be faster
