Code Quality Assistant

AI-powered bug detection and patch suggestions for Python, built on a Finite State Machine (FSM) pipeline and CodeT5.

This extension analyzes Python files for common code quality issues and generates high-quality patch candidates. It supports advice-only mode for readable, line-tagged summaries and validates syntax before applying changes.

Features

• Detects bugs, vulnerabilities, and formatting issues using AST and FSM logic
• Generates patch candidates using CodeT5 (codet5-large)
• Supports advice-only patch notes for clear, actionable summaries
• Highlights unused variables, TODO comments, and indentation problems
• Validates syntax before applying patches
• Works on any .py file in your workspace
• Fully offline once installed
