CodePeel AI Reviewer — VS Code Extension
Deep-context AI code reviews directly in your editor. Catch critical bugs, security vulnerabilities, and architectural flaws before they merge.
Features
🔍 One-Click Code Reviews
Review your working changes, staged changes, or branch diffs with a single click. CodePeel analyzes your code using full repository context and RAG-powered understanding.
Findings appear as native VS Code comments directly on the affected lines — just like a human reviewer. Each comment includes:
- Severity badge (Critical / Major / Minor)
- Clear explanation of the issue
- Suggested fix with code block
- One-click "Apply Fix" action
A professional TreeView sidebar that shows:
- NEW REVIEW — Branch info, files to review, review button
- REVIEWS — Live progress (Setting up → Analyzing → Reviewing), review summary
- FILES — All reviewed files with per-file finding counts and expandable details
⚡ One-Click Fixes
Every fixable finding includes a code suggestion. Apply it instantly from:
- The inline comment
- The sidebar tree (right-click → Apply Fix)
- The Problems panel (Quick Fix lightbulb)
- "Fix all issues" bulk action
🛡️ Problems Panel Integration
All findings appear in VS Code's native Problems panel, grouped by file with proper severity mapping (Error/Warning/Info/Hint).
📊 Review Summary
A dedicated summary panel showing metrics, walkthrough, and all findings at a glance.
