Docsig

Docsig

Reports docstring and signature mismatches for the current Python file using the bundled docsig checker.

Issues come from the same checker you run on the command line. The extension runs it in the background when you open a file, while you edit (debounced), on save, or after Docsig or Python settings change. Each message is mapped onto the reported source line as a warning or error.

Install Docsig VS Code Extension, and configure CLI-equivalent options under Settings | Docsig (per workspace). Analysis uses the workspace Python 3.10+ interpreter from the Python extension and the bundled docsig executable shipped with the extension.

View extension logs under View | Output, then choose Docsig from the channel list.

Privacy and Data Usage

Docsig runs locally on your machine.

The extension does not collect analytics, telemetry, or usage statistics.

Source code, project files, and document contents are not transmitted to external services by the extension.

The bundled docsig checker is extracted locally and invoked with the workspace Python interpreter. Results are processed entirely within the editor.

The extension does not download or execute remote code.
