Silverile Extension

The Silverile Extension brings structured, intent-aware development directly into your editor.

Built on the principles of Safe Light Coding, this extension assists developers with AI-powered interpretation, review, and scaffolding — while keeping humans fully in control.

Silverile does not auto-generate code silently.
It does not mutate your repository.
It does not act autonomously.

Instead, it helps formalize intent, verify alignment, and accelerate disciplined development.

Available Commands

From the editor context menu:

🔎 Review Code Against Story

Analyze selected code and compare it against an existing Silverile user story.

Highlights:

• Intent alignment verification
• Missing acceptance criteria detection
• Risk area identification
• Structural inconsistency surfacing

This enforces traceability between implementation and documented intent.

📝 Generate User Story from Code

Convert selected code or a file into a structured draft user story.

Includes:

• Title
• Description
• Acceptance Criteria
• Technical Notes
• Assumptions
• Open Questions

The generated story is always presented as a draft for human review before creation.

🤖 Generate Copilot Prompt from User Story (With AI)

Transform a validated Silverile user story into a structured, deterministic prompt suitable for GitHub Copilot or other AI coding assistants.

Ensures:

• Guardrails are embedded
• Acceptance criteria are explicit
• Scope is controlled
• Ambiguities are surfaced

AI becomes a structured assistant — not an uncontrolled generator.

🧪 Generate Test Scripts from Story

Generate test scaffolding aligned to story acceptance criteria.

Focuses on:

• Coverage mapping
• Edge cases
• Negative paths
• Verification-first development

⚙️ Select/Change Product

Switch the active Silverile product context for story and API interactions.

🔐 Configure IDE API Key

🛠 Configure Silverile Settings

Safe Light Coding

This extension is built on the Safe Light Coding philosophy:

• AI assists with interpretation, not execution
• All outputs are deterministic and reviewable
• Ambiguities are surfaced explicitly
• Human approval is required before action
• No code is modified automatically
• Developer intent remains the source of truth

Safe Light Coding is not low-code.
It is not autonomous coding.
It is AI-assisted discipline.

Design Principles

• Human-in-the-loop workflows
• Deterministic guardrails
• Schema-validated interpretation
• No silent code mutation
• Explicit ambiguity surfacing
• Structured AI outputs
