Frequently Asked Questions
What is Cody AI and how do shortcuts work?
Cody is Sourcegraph's AI coding assistant for VSCode that enhances developer productivity through intelligent code assistance. Shortcuts like Option+C (Mac) or Alt+C (Windows) open the command palette, providing quick access to AI-powered tasks including code explanation, refactoring, testing, and documentation generation. These shortcuts streamline common development workflows by reducing the time spent on repetitive coding tasks.
How do I create custom Cody commands?
Custom Cody commands are created by defining prompts in your VSCode settings.json file under the "cody.commandCodeLenses" configuration. Our tool simplifies this process by generating the proper JSON syntax with context definitions, prompt templates, and keyboard shortcuts. You can specify whether commands apply to selected code, current files, or entire directories, making it easy to create reusable commands tailored to your specific development workflow.
Can I export my custom commands for team sharing?
Yes, our tool allows you to export custom commands as JSON configuration files that can be easily shared with your development team. These exported configurations can be imported into other VSCode installations or included in team workspace settings, ensuring consistent productivity tools across projects. This feature enables teams to leverage collective expertise in crafting effective AI prompts and maintain standardized development practices.
