Catch repo drift before fast shipping turns into quiet chaos.
Driftpulse is a VS Code extension that scans your repo for code drift, architecture drift, config drift, and docs drift — so AI-assisted shipping does not quietly break structure over time.
Built for solo developers, indie hackers, and small teams moving faster than process can keep up.
What it detects
- Architecture drift — new flows added, original boundaries blurred, repo stops matching intended structure
- Config drift — scripts, ignore rules, env setup, and CI behavior shift until reliability starts slipping
- Docs drift — README, prompts, and setup notes stop matching actual code behavior
- Code drift — implementation quietly diverges from what the codebase claims to do
How it works
- Open any project folder in VS Code
- Run Driftpulse: Analyze Current Repo from the command palette
- Review your drift score, top issues, and next actions in the results panel
- Background monitoring re-runs analysis automatically after meaningful file changes
Setup
- Install the extension
- Run Driftpulse: Analyze Current Repo from the command palette
