NeuroCode 🧠💻

Revolutionary AI Pair Programming for VS Code - Transform your coding experience with intelligent, persona-driven assistance that understands your code in real-time.

🚀 Overview

NeuroCode is an advanced AI-powered pair programming extension for Visual Studio Code that revolutionizes how developers write, understand, and refactor code. Unlike traditional AI coding assistants, NeuroCode features intelligent personas that adapt to your coding style and provide contextually aware assistance through sophisticated code analysis and real-time monitoring.

AI PERSONAS REAL-TIME SUGGESTIONS

🌟 Key Differentiators

• 🎭 AI Personas: Choose from specialized programming personalities (Rubber Duck, Code Critic, Mentor, Peer Programmer)
• 🔄 Real-time Code Monitoring: Continuously watches your code and detects when you're stuck
• 🧠 Advanced Pipeline: Code → AST → Context Analysis → Dynamic Prompts → LLM Processing
• 🎯 Context-Aware Assistance: Understands your entire project structure for relevant suggestions
• ⚡ Intelligent Fallbacks: Robust retry mechanisms ensure reliable assistance

💡 Use Cases

🔍 Code Explanation

// Select complex code and press Ctrl+Shift+E
def process_values(x: int, y: int) -> None:
    """
    Processes two integer values by performing a series of operations.

    Args:
        x (int): The first integer value.
        y (int): The second integer value.
    """
    if not isinstance(x, int) or not isinstance(y, int):
        raise TypeError("Both inputs must be integers")

    if x < 0 or y < 0:
        return  # Early exit for negative values

    result = x + y
    if result > 100:
        result = 100  # Cap result at 100

    print(f"Processed result: {result}")

🔄 Code Refactoring

// Select outdated code and press Ctrl+Shift+R
```def doStuff(x, y):
    a = 0
    for i in range(0, len(x)):
        if x[i] == y:
            a = a + 1
    for i in range(0, len(x)):
        if x[i] == y:
            print("found at", i)
    if a == 0:
        print("not found")```
// NeuroCode will suggest modern, optimized alternatives

🎨 Custom Prompts

// Select code and press Ctrl+Shift+X
// Add custom instructions like "Make this more performant"
// Or "Add error handling" for targeted improvements
