🌿 EcoCode AI

EcoCode AI bridges the gap between software optimization and digital sustainability. It is an intelligent, automated "Eco-Linter" that evaluates software source code for environmental impact, rates its carbon efficiency, and dynamically leverages generative AI to refactor unoptimized algorithms into energy-efficient alternatives.

🚀 Features

• Right-Click Code Analysis: Highlight any code block directly in your editor, right-click, and instantly analyze its environmental impact.
• Structured Green Grading System: Scores your code on a clear alpha scale (Grade A to F) using green computing and energy efficiency principles.
• Impact Quantification Engine: Computes an estimated percentage of electrical energy/carbon footprint reduction if you adopt the refactored code.
• Automated Green Refactoring: Uses Gemini 2.5 Flash to automatically rewrite your unoptimized algorithms (nested loops, resource leaks, redundant operations) into an eco-friendly footprint.
• Native Dashboard Preview: Renders clear, beautiful grid tables and code diff outputs using VS Code's native Markdown theme engine.

🛠️ Requirements & Setup

EcoCode AI functions as a direct local client, removing the need for external web application hosting. It communicates securely with Google's API infrastructure.

1. Get an API Key: Sign into Google AI Studio and generate a free API key.
2. Activate Extension: Highlight a section of code in your editor, open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P or Cmd+Shift+P), or right-click to choose EcoCode AI: Analyze Carbon Efficiency.

⚙️ Extension Settings

This extension contributes the following configuration variables through your VS Code settings.json file:

• ecocode.apiKey: The Gemini API cryptographic key used to run remote abstract intelligence scanning models.
• ecocode.defaultLanguageModel: Configure or lock your default parsing model engine (gemini-2.5-flash by default).

📦 Supported Languages

EcoCode AI's multi-language structural scanning algorithms natively analyze carbon-intensive execution blocks across:

• Python
• Java
• JavaScript / TypeScript
• C++

📝 Release Notes
