DevForgeAI - Visual Studio Code Extension for Code Generation

DevForgeAI is a Visual Studio Code extension that generates code from natural-language comments. Select a comment describing what you want, run the DevForgeAI command, and it inserts the generated code below your selection — powered by Google's Gemini API.

Features

• Seamless code generation: annotate your file with a comment describing the code you want, select it, and DevForgeAI generates the snippet.
• Powered by Gemini: uses Google's gemini-3.5-flash model by default (configurable).
• Multi-line and single-line comment support.
• API key configuration through VS Code settings.

Building and Installing Locally (For Developers)

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/karthik137/code-forge-ai.git
   

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install
   

3. Package the extension:

   npx vsce package
   

4. This generates a .vsix file in the project root.

5. In VS Code, open the Extensions view (Ctrl+Shift+X), click the "..." menu, choose "Install from VSIX...", and select the generated file.

Configuring the API Key

1. Get a free Gemini API key from Google AI Studio.
2. Open VS Code settings (Ctrl+,) and search for "DevForgeAI".
3. Paste your key into DevForgeAI: Api Key.
4. Optionally change DevForgeAI: Model (default: gemini-3.5-flash).

Getting Started

1. Open a code file.

2. Write a comment describing the code you want, e.g.:

   // Generate a function to calculate the sum of two numbers
   

3. Select the comment.

4. Trigger generation either by:

   • Command palette: Ctrl+Shift+P → "DevForgeAI"
   • Right-click → "DevForgeAI" in the context menu.

5. The generated code is inserted right after your selection.
