Cheshire Cat VS Code Extension

This is the Visual Studio Code extension to integrate the Cheshire Cat.

Features

Currently, the extension has two features:

1. Generating automatic comments on a portion of selected code,
2. Generating a function starting from the name and a comment.

Requirements

The extension requires to have the Cheshire Cat installed and running (instructions here) with the Cat Code Commenter plugin enabled (instructions here).

Warning This extension relies on the Cheshire Cat and expect to find a running instance of it. Please, remember to set a language model in the "Settings" page with the admin in the browser.

Usage

To use it highlight some code → right-click → select CheshireCat: Comment code.

Warning Please, note that only OpenAI models can support the CheshireCat: Comment code functionalities for the moment.

Make function

To use it highlight some code → right-click → select Cheshire Cat AI: Function From Comment.

Other commands

• Cheshire Cat AI: Refresh WebSocket Connection: allows refreshing the websocket connection with the Cat. This can be useful if, for any reason, VSCode loses the connection with the Cat.
• Cheshire Cat: Fetch Language Model: allows updating the language model settings and check if the set model is compatible.

Change of LLM

Note Please, rembemder to call Cheshire Cat: Fetch Language Model, when you change the language model in the Cat.

Extension Settings

Note Many of the settings are the same you would write in the .env file of the Cheshire Cat.

This extension contributes the following settings:

• CheshireCatAI.BaseUrl: connection URL. Default to localhost.
• CheshireCatAI.Port: connection port. Default to 1865.
• CheshireCatAI.WebsocketPath: Language Model to use to comment the code. Default to ws.
• CheshireCatAI.Secure: Set a secure connection for websocket and endpoints. Default to false.
• CheshireCatAI.AuthKey: Personal key to authenticate the Cheshire Cat endpoints. (Optional)

The extension automatically reads the language model settings from the Cat. Please, make sure your instance of the Cat is set on a supported language model, otherwise configure one in the "Settings" page.

Currently available Language Models

By now, we only support text-davinci-003 and any gpt model from OpenAI and AzureOpenAI, command from Cohere and bigcode/starcoder from HugginFace Hub.

Tip: for the smoothest experience, we recommend using ChatGPT.
