A VSCode extension for AI to understand your project

A developer has released an open-source VSCode extension on the DevMap plugin market that installs skills with one click, automatically writes detailed comments during coding, and converts them into JSON. The plugin can call an interface to obtain the entire method chain and corresponding comments, allowing AI to read a main function in seconds. The developer created an HTML display for visual appeal, though they note its practicality is average.

I wrote a VSCode plugin that can install skills with just one click. When writing code, AI automatically writes detailed comments. The plugin can recognize and convert them into JSON. If AI wants to understand something, it can automatically call the interface to obtain the entire method chain and corresponding comment introduction. Reading a main function only takes a few seconds. To make it look better, I also created an HTML to display it. Of course, it's just for the sake of appearance. The plugin is open source and has been uploaded to the VSCode plugin market on DevMap. Although its practicality might be average, it is visually appealing.
