AI Code Reviewer

AI-powered Python code reviewer using state-of-the-art language models — finds bugs, security issues and fixes them instantly.

Features

  • 🔴 Security Detection — finds vulnerabilities like hardcoded secrets, SQL injection, unsafe eval
  • 🟡 Bug Detection — catches logic errors, runtime crashes, operator bugs, bad practices
  • 🔵 Code Quality — suggests improvements for cleaner, more maintainable code
  • ✨ One-Click Fix — apply all AI-suggested fixes with a single click
  • 🚀 PR Simulation — push AI-fixed files directly to GitHub with an auto-generated commit message

How to Use

  1. Open any .py file in VS Code
  2. Click the ▶ AI: Review Code button in the editor toolbar (or open Command Palette → AI: Review Code)
  3. View issues highlighted with color-coded severity underlines
  4. Click Quick Fix → ✨ Apply AI Fix (Full File) to fix the entire file instantly
  5. (Optional) Click $(git-pull-request) Push to GitHub to simulate a PR with an AI-generated commit message

Color Coding

Color Meaning
🔴 Red Security vulnerabilities (hardcoded secrets, SQL injection, eval)
🟡 Yellow Logic bugs, runtime errors, operator mistakes
🔵 Blue Code quality issues, unused imports, style suggestions

How It Works

The extension uses a multi-stage analysis pipeline:

Stage 1 — Static Analysis

  • AST Parser — detects structural issues: long functions, bad variable names, argument count
  • Pylint — code quality and PEP8 style checking
  • Bandit — security vulnerability scanning
  • Radon — cyclomatic complexity measurement

Stage 2 — AI Deep Analysis

  • CodeBERT — transformer-based model for semantic code understanding and security analysis
  • CodeT5+ — code-aware model for generating intelligent fix suggestions
  • LLM Reasoning Layer — deep analysis for logic bugs, missing error handling, and bad practices

All stages are orchestrated by an Analysis Engine that merges results, resolves conflicts, and returns precise line-level diagnostics.

PR Simulation Feature

After applying AI fixes, the extension can:

  1. Automatically generate a meaningful Git commit message based on the issues fixed
  2. Show it in an editable input box so you can review or modify it
  3. Run git add → git commit → git push directly to your repository

This simulates a real-world CI/CD code review pipeline where an AI bot reviews and commits fixes before a pull request is opened.
