AI-powered code review for VS Code, integrated with your CrewAI deployed agent. Analyze the active file for quality issues, optimizations, security concerns, and inline suggestions.

Features

CrewAI AMP integration — kickoff + status polling against your deployed agent
Command Palette — AI Code Review: Analyze Current File
Sidebar panel — "AI Reviewer" with Issues, Optimizations, and Suggestions
Editor toolbar button — sparkle icon in the editor title bar

Quick start (for users installing the extension)

Install the extension from the Marketplace or a .vsix file.
Open the Command Palette and run AI Code Review: Set API Key.
Paste your Bearer token from the CrewAI dashboard → your crew → Status tab.
Open any code file and run AI Code Review: Analyze Current File.

The default API URL points to the deployed CrewAI agent:

Developer setup

cd d:\extension
npm install
npm run compile

For local development, edit .env (gitignored, not published):

AI_REVIEW_API_URL=https://vs-code-code-optimizer-inline-suggestions-a-e0d6590d.crewai.com
AI_REVIEW_API_KEY=your-crewai-bearer-token
AI_REVIEW_API_KEY_HEADER=Authorization

CrewAI API flow

When the configured URL contains crewai.com, the extension:

POST /kickoff with { "inputs": { "code": "...", "language": "..." } }
Polls GET /status/{kickoff_id} until complete
Parses issues, optimizations, and suggestions from the agent output

Your crew should return JSON like:

{
  "issues": [{ "message": "Avoid eval()", "line": 12, "severity": "error" }],
  "optimizations": ["Use const instead of let"],
  "suggestions": [{ "message": "Extract into a helper", "line": 45 }]
}
