A VS Code extension that auto-generates study notes from your code using Google's Gemini AI. Write code, hit save, get explanations. Simple.
What it does
Automatically creates notes when you save your code
Only processes new lines (incremental, not the whole file)
Separate notes file for each source file (index.js gets index.notes.md)
Asks for API key on first install (no settings hunting)
Ignores non-code files like .json, .md, node_modules, .git
Understands Hinglish comments
Matches your comment style (professional or funny)
Quiet mode - only notifies when creating a new notes file
Setup
Install the extension
On first launch, it asks for your Gemini API key (get one free from Google AI Studio)
Start coding and save files
That's it.
How it works
Write code → Save file → AI generates notes → Check .codemmn/filename.notes.md
File structure
your-project/
├── index.js
├── utils.js
└── .codemmn/
├── index.notes.md ← notes for index.js
└── utils.notes.md ← notes for utils.js
Example
Your code:
// Creating a Promise
const myPromise = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
setTimeout(() => resolve("Done!"), 1000);
});
Generated notes:
### Creating a Promise
```javascript
const myPromise = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
setTimeout(() => resolve("Done!"), 1000);
});
Explanation:
Concept: Creates a Promise that resolves after 1 second
How it's working?
new Promise() creates a promise object
setTimeout delays execution by 1000ms
resolve("Done!") fulfills the promise
Key Syntax: Promise, async, setTimeout, resolve
## Requirements
- VS Code 1.107.0+
- Gemini API key
- Internet connection
## Configuration
`codemmn.geminiApiKey` - Your Gemini API key
## Tips
- Write comments for better explanations
- Hinglish works fine
- Notes accumulate with each save
- Each file gets its own notes file in `.codemmn/`
## Known Issues
- Only works on file save
- Notes file grows over time
- Large code blocks take a few seconds
