Detect bugs and vulnerabilities in your code before you run it.

Precogs AI

Version Installs Rating


Precogs brings predictive AI directly into your development environment, helping you identify runtime errors and security vulnerabilities while you code.

Static analysis tools only catch syntax errors. Precogs goes deeper by analyzing code logic and execution paths to predict issues that traditional linters miss. Reduce debugging time and ship code with confidence using real-time, context-aware insights.

✨ Key Features

  • Predictive Bug Detection: Identify potential runtime errors and logic flaws before they reach production.
  • Automated Security Scanning: Automatically detect vulnerabilities (e.g., SQL injection, XSS) and sensitive data exposure.
  • IDE-Native Integration: Get immediate feedback within Visual Studio Code without switching context or waiting for CI builds.
  • Context-Aware Suggestions: Receive actionable remediation steps tailored to your specific code structure.
  • Support for Multiple Languages: Optimized for Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, Go, C/C++, Rust, and more.

🚀 How it works

  1. Install the Precogs extension.
  2. Write code as usual.
  3. View real-time insights in the Problems panel and via inline diagnostics.
  4. Apply fixes instantly to keep your workflow uninterrupted.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How is this different from GitHub Copilot or Cursor? A: Copilot and Cursor are optimized for autocompletion. Precogs is optimized for auditing. We catch the subtle race conditions, logic flaws, and security holes that generative coding tools often inadvertently introduce. Think of them as the accelerator and us as the brakes.

Q: Is my code secure? A: Yes. Your code is analyzed in transient memory and is never used to train our models. We offer SOC2-compliant processing.

Q: Do I need a Precogs account? A: You can start for free by signing in with your existing GitHub account.
