ASSESSME FLOW

AssessME FLOW is a VS Code extension that records your coding process as encrypted project logs to support academic integrity and process-based assessment.

Features

• Tracks file evolution as timestamped incremental diffs
• Records run/debug activity and coding-session signals
• Supports milestone markers from command palette and AI chat bridge
• Stores logs locally in your workspace under .assessme/
• Encrypts records with AES-256-GCM before writing to disk
• Integrates with AssessME AI Assistant metadata events

Requirements

• VS Code ^1.58.0
• Open workspace folder (recommended for full tracking)
• assessme.flow.encryptionKey configured for encrypted output

How Students Use It

1. Open AssessME FLOW from the VS Code Activity Bar.
2. Configure FLOW settings (assessme.flow.encryptionKey, tracked languages, and intensity) if required by your school.
3. Start tracking from Command Palette: AssessME FLOW: Start.
4. Code normally (edit, run, debug, test) while FLOW records process events.
5. Mark milestones when needed via command or AI chat milestone message.

What FLOW Records

• File change history (incremental diffs)
• Run/debug/task events with timestamps
• Milestones and session events
• AI metadata relay events (without prompt/response text)

Privacy and Storage

• Log location: <workspace>/.assessme/
• Encrypted log format: .v2.assessme
• No passwords or unrelated system files are collected
• Logs are intended for instructor verification workflows

Notes

• Activate FLOW before you begin coding so your process is captured from the start.
• Do not delete .assessme/ until your assignment has been reviewed.
• Your school/instructor controls policy and backend usage.
