python CodeMentor: Senior Instructor

Stop relying on AI to rewrite your code. Start relying on yourself.

python CodeMentor is a VS Code extension designed for learners who want to deeply understand logic rather than just "getting the fix." Unlike other AI assistants, the Senior Instructor follows strict pedagogical rules: it will explain intent and mental models, but it will never generate code for you.

Features

  • Logic Explainer: Highlight a block of code to receive a conceptual, line-by-line breakdown.
  • Error Mentor: Explains the "why" behind traceback messages instead of just telling you where to put a comma.
  • Mental Models: Translates complex programming concepts into plain English for beginners (<6 months experience).
  • No-Cheat Guardrails: Engineered to ensure you do the work, so the learning actually sticks.

Who is this for?

  • Self-Taught Devs: Bridging the gap between tutorials and professional reasoning.
  • Bootcamp Students: Reinforcing concepts after a long day of coding.
  • Educators: A 24/7 assistant to help students debug their own thinking.
