- Sends code to an external model
- Batch mode changes many files at once
This is third-party code. Review the repository files before installing.
What it does
Aide adds a set of AI commands to VS Code. It converts code between languages, adds detailed comments, suggests an improved version of code and variable names with explanations. Smart paste transforms clipboard content, including images, on paste. Batch mode processes multiple files according to custom requirements, and a copy command turns files and folders into a prompt.
Who it is for. VS Code developers who want targeted AI operations on code without a full agent.
Good fit when
- You need to rewrite a module in another programming language
- You are reading unfamiliar code and want detailed comments
- You need to apply the same change across many files
- You want to quickly turn a folder into a prompt for another chat
Not a fit when
- You need an autonomous agent that plans and executes tasks
- You do not use VS Code
Example request
Convert the selected module from JavaScript to TypeScript with Code Convert and add comments to complex functionsLimitations
Works only as a VS Code extension. The README is short; model setup and feature details are on aide.nicepkg.cn.
