An AI-powered coding companion that lives in your VS Code panel — reacting to your code in real time!

DevMate is a pixel-art character that watches how you code and responds with animations, speech bubbles, and helpful guidance. It detects errors, celebrates your wins, and keeps you company during long coding sessions.

✨ Features

🔍 Real-Time Error Detection

DevMate watches your code for real VS Code diagnostics and reacts:

  • Syntax errors → Facepalm + helpful fix tips
  • Indentation issues → Language-specific guidance (Python, YAML, etc.)
  • Type errors → "Check your types!" nudge
  • Import errors → Module install suggestions
  • 6+ errors → Full panic mode 😱
  • All errors fixed → Celebration! 🎉

🌍 Language Detection (25+ Languages)

Opens a new file? DevMate greets you with language-specific encouragement:

  • TypeScript → "Type safety FTW! 💪"
  • Python → "Python mode activated! 🐍"
  • Rust → "I respect you already 🦀"
  • And 20+ more languages!

🎭 Code Pattern Reactions

  • Writing a new function → Celebrate ✨
  • Mass deletion → Panic mode 😱
  • console.log everywhere → Judging you 🤨
  • TODO comments → "Another TODO to never come back to..."
  • Deep nesting → "That nesting is getting deep... 😬"

😴 Idle-Reactive Behavior

  • Coding actively → Character runs and walks
  • Paused briefly → Character goes idle
  • AFK for 5 min → Character falls asleep 💤
  • Resume typing → Wakes up and starts running again!

⚡ Typing Speed Detection

  • Type 200+ keystrokes/min → "SPEED CODING MODE! ⚡"
