Dev Doctor Pro
Find project problems before production does.
🩺 What is Dev Doctor Pro?
Dev Doctor Pro is an intelligent developer productivity and project-health extension for VS Code. It scans your software projects in real-time, detecting configuration issues, dependency conflicts, security risks, performance bottlenecks, and bloated assets.
It acts as your automated code reviewer—calculating a Health Score and presenting actionable recommendations with one-click fixes where safely possible.
Privacy First: Your source code never leaves your machine. Dev Doctor Pro runs 100% locally with zero external network requests.
✨ Key Features
📊 Professional Health Dashboard
Get a high-level overview of your project's technical debt. Dev Doctor Pro analyzes 6 different categories (Security, Dependencies, Performance, Quality, Configuration, Assets) to give you a definitive A through F Health Grade.
⚡ Real-Time "On-Save" Background Scanning
Dev Doctor Pro works invisibly in the background. Simply hit Ctrl+S (or Cmd+S), and it will instantly scan your active file, updating your VS Code Problems panel and health score without disrupting your flow.
💡 Inline CodeLens Assistant
Writing a massive 150-line function? Dev Doctor injects smart, non-intrusive CodeLens warnings directly above your bloated functions or complex blocks, nudging you to refactor before it becomes technical debt.
🛠️ One-Click Fixes
Don't just find problems; fix them. Dev Doctor Pro offers safe, reversible, one-click automatic fixes for common issues like unused dependencies, forgotten .gitignore rules, or lingering console.log statements.
🔍 The Scanners Engine
Dev Doctor Pro comes packed with 7 specialized scanners tailored for modern web development:
- 🔒 Security Scanner: Locates hardcoded
.env files not excluded in git, exposed AWS/Stripe API keys, and masks secrets in its reporting.
- 📦 Dependency Scanner: Finds missing/conflicting lockfiles, duplicate dependencies, loose wildcard versions, and completely unused dependencies by cross-referencing imports with source files.
- 🚀 Performance Scanner: Scans output directories (
dist/, build/) for unexpectedly large JS/CSS bundles (>1MB) and bloated WebFonts that destroy Time-to-Interactive (TTI) scores.
- 🧠 Code Quality Scanner: Detects production
console.logs, debugger statements, unresolved TODO comments, and bloated source files (>1000 lines).
- ⚙️ Configuration Scanner: Flags missing
.gitignore files or missing tsconfig.json configurations in TypeScript repositories.
- ⚛️ Next.js & React Scanner: Detects missing
key props in .map() loops, massive inline styles causing re-renders, unsafe window usage in SSR, and raw <img> tags in Next.js apps.
- 🧊 Three.js & Asset Scanner: Specifically flags extremely large 3D models (
.glb >20MB), heavy uncompressed Environment Maps (HDR/EXR), and triggers warnings when too many raw models are loaded without bundling.
