Grade Guardian

Your Pre-Submission Audit Tool.

You spend 5 hours coding the assignment, but you lose marks because you left C:\Users\YourName in the file path, or forgot a console.log.

Grade Guardian sits in your status bar and grades your code in real-time (0 to 100). If you are red, do not submit.

🔥 The "Instant Fail" Detectors

The extension actively scans for these common reasons assignments get rejected:

  1. Absolute Paths (e.g. C:/Users/...) -> Code works on your laptop, FAILS on the Prof's laptop.
  2. Console Logs / Print Statements -> Professional code doesn't spam the console.
  3. Spaghetti Code -> Too much nesting (indentation > 4 levels deep).
  4. Empty Catch Blocks -> Hiding errors is a crime.
  5. Missing Name/Roll No -> Configure your name in settings, and it alerts you if you forgot to add it to the top of the file.

Usage

  1. Just write code.
  2. Watch the Grade in the bottom left status bar.
  3. If it isn't 100/100, click the Grade to see exactly what lines are killing your score.

Settings

Go to File > Preferences > Settings and search "GradePEX".
