DebugIQ
Find real bugs faster in AI-generated code, before they hit production.
DebugIQ adds fast triage, explainable learning mode, and repeat-pattern warnings directly inside VS Code.
Why DebugIQ
- Debug AI-generated code in seconds, not after a failed commit or incident.
- Get severity-ranked findings with clear line ranges and actionable next steps.
- Keep analysis workflow inside your editor with minimal setup.
- Preserve privacy: no raw source code sent to DebugIQ backend.

Command palette discoverability: run Demo, Quick Debug, Learn Debug, and diagnostics in one place.
Quick Debug returns severity-ranked findings and fix hints for fast triage.
Learn Debug explains each issue with root cause and practical remediation guidance.
Learn mode includes a concrete exercise to reinforce secure coding habits.
Privacy and Security
- Raw source code is not sent to DebugIQ backend endpoints.
- AI analysis is executed through GitHub Copilot in the extension workflow.
- DebugIQ stores only structured findings and anonymized signature hashes when authenticated.
Requirements
- VS Code

Limitations
- Quick Debug and Learn Debug depend on GitHub Copilot availability.
- Without Copilot, DebugIQ falls back gracefully to Demo Mode.
- Team dashboards, Dojo progression, and billing are planned for a future web experience.
Troubleshooting
- Commands missing: reload VS Code window, then search
DebugIQ in Command Palette.
- No AI output: ensure GitHub Copilot is installed and enabled.
- Login issues on non-prod: verify
debugiq.apiBaseUrl points to the correct backend.
