DevLens

DevLens is an AI-powered assistant for developers working in VS Code.
It helps you understand unfamiliar codebases faster by summarizing files directly in your editor — powered by OpenAI's GPT-4o.

🧠 Whether you're onboarding to a new repo or reviewing old code, DevLens gives you a head start.

First-Time Setup

If it's your first time using DevLens, you'll be prompted to enter your OpenAI API key when you run any command like Ask DevLens.

You can also set it up manually:

• Open the Command Palette (Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + P)
• Run: DevLens: Set or Update API Key
• Paste your OpenAI API Key

✅ Your key is securely stored using VS Code's SecretStorage — it is never exposed.

💡 How to Use DevLens

Once your API key is set, you're ready to go!

To summarize a file:

1. Open any .ts, .js, .jsx, or .tsx file in VS Code
2. Press Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + P to open the Command Palette
3. Type Ask DevLens and select the command
4. Wait a few seconds while DevLens analyzes the file
5. You'll see a popup: "Summary ready! Click to view full summary."
6. Click "View Summary" — a markdown file will open with the result ✨
