🔥 CodeRoast — The AI Code Reviewer With a Grudge

"You don’t need a linter. You need therapy."

CodeRoast is a VS Code extension that reads your code, silently judges your life choices, and then roasts each problematic line with AI-generated insults — powered by Gemini.

It doesn’t ask “Are you ready for feedback?” It asks “Are you emotionally stable enough to handle this?”

⚙️ What It Does

• 🧠 Scans your entire codebase

• 🔎 Sends each file to Gemini AI

• 💬 Returns roast comments for:

  • Logic flaws
  • Naming crimes
  • Empty catch blocks
  • Bad style
  • Missing error handling
  • Things that would make your senior dev sigh audibly

• 🩻 Highlights the roast directly in the file via VS Code diagnostics

• 🧾 Generates a roast-summary.md in .code-roast/database/ with:

  • Severity counts
  • Common bad habits
  • Suggested improvements
  • A final report so you can cry productively

🔧 Extension Settings

To use CodeRoast with Gemini, you’ll need to provide your own Gemini API key.

Go to Settings > Extensions > CodeRoast or open settings.json and add:

"codeRoast.geminiApiKey": "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"

Optional settings coming soon:

• codeRoast.useGeminiForSummary: true | false — lets Gemini write the roast summary
• codeRoast.languageFilter: ["js", "py", "java"] — restrict which files get roasted

No key = no roast. Gemini demands tribute.

💡 Example

if (data == null || data == undefined) {
  console.log("oops")
}

“null == undefined? Did you learn JavaScript from a fortune cookie?”

catch {}

“Ah yes, silent error handling. Nothing to see here. Especially the errors.”

const thing = "yolo"

“Global constant named 'thing'. I weep for future maintainers.”

🚀 How to Use

1. Install from the Marketplace
2. Press Ctrl+Shift+P → Start Code Roast
3. Watch it roast your code line by line
4. Check .code-roast/database/roast-summary.md for your final report
5. Question your choices

🔐 Privacy

This extension does NOT upload your code. It sends individual files to Gemini via API only when you trigger the roast. You can also provide your own Gemini API key for complete control.

No tracking. No data collection. Just roasting.

🧷 Why?

Because your code is probably bad. And deep down, you know it.
