Certify — VSCode Extension

Code trust, with an expiration date.

View certification report cards, configure AI providers, and run certification directly from Visual Studio Code.

Features

📊 Dashboard

Interactive report card showing overall grade, grade distribution, quality dimension scores, language breakdown, and per-unit details. Auto-refreshes when certification data changes.

🌳 Tree View

Explorer sidebar showing all certified units organized by directory. Click any unit to navigate to its source.

🔍 CodeLens

Inline grade annotations on Go, TypeScript, Python, and Rust functions — see 🟢 B+ (87%) directly above each function. Click for dimension score breakdown including deep analysis metrics (fan-in, fan-out, dep depth, etc.).

📊 Status Bar

Persistent grade badge showing overall grade, unit count, and pass rate. Click to open the dashboard.

⚠️ Diagnostics

Warning markers on files with Grade D or F units. Information markers on soon-to-expire certifications. Hint markers on dead exports (unused public API). Info markers on high fan-in functions (change risk hotspots).

🔬 Deep Analysis

When using CLI v0.12.0+, the dashboard shows type-aware cross-file analysis: fan-in/fan-out call graph metrics, dead export detection, dependency depth, package instability, and coupling scores. The fan-in hotspots table highlights the riskiest functions to change.

⚙️ Provider Configuration

Configure any OpenAI-compatible AI provider — via the visual configurator or VS Code Settings (Ctrl+, → search "certify"):

Provider	Type	Free Tier
OpenRouter	Cloud	✅ 200+ models
OpenAI	Cloud	Paid (gpt-4o-mini, gpt-4o, o3-mini)
Google AI Studio	Cloud	✅ (Gemini 2.0 Flash)
Groq	Cloud	✅ 30 req/min
Together	Cloud	✅ $1 credit
Fireworks	Cloud	✅ $1 credit
Ollama	Local	✅ Free
LM Studio	Local	✅ Free
vLLM	Local	✅ Free
Custom	Any	Any

Two ways to configure:

Visual configurator — Certify: Configure AI Provider for guided preset selection, connection testing, and model browsing
VS Code Settings — certify.provider.* and certify.agent.* settings for quick edits; syncs bidirectionally with .certification/config.yml

Dynamic model browser — fetch and search available models from any provider. No hardcoded model lists.
