VectorCode

VectorCode is a code repository indexing tool. It helps you build better prompt for your coding LLMs by indexing and providing information about the code repository you're working on. This repository also contains the corresponding neovim plugin that provides a set of APIs for you to build or enhance AI plugins, and integrations for some of the popular plugins.

[!NOTE] This project is in beta quality and is undergoing rapid iterations. I know there are plenty of rooms for improvements, and any help is welcomed.

Why VectorCode?

LLMs usually have very limited understanding about close-source projects, projects that are not well-known, and cutting edge developments that have not made it into releases. Their capabilities on these projects are quite limited. With VectorCode, you can easily (and programmatically) inject task-relevant context from the project into the prompt. This significantly improves the quality of the model output and reduce hallucination.

Documentation

[!NOTE] The documentation on the main branch reflects the code on the latest commit. To check for the documentation for the version you're using, you can check out the corresponding tags.

• For the setup and usage of the command-line tool, see the CLI documentation;
• For neovim users, after you've gone through the CLI documentation, please refer to the neovim plugin documentation (and optionally the lua API reference) for further instructions.
• Additional resources:
  • the wiki for extra tricks and tips that will help you get the most out of VectorCode;
  • the discussions where you can ask general questions and share your cool usages about VectorCode.
  • If you're feeling adanvturous, feel free to check out the pull requests for WIP features.

About Versioning

This project follows an adapted semantic versioning:

• Until 1.0.0 is released, the major version number stays 0 which indicates that this project is still in early stage, and features/interfaces may change from time to time;
• The minor version number indicates breaking changes. When I decide to remove a feature/config option, the actual removal will happen when I bump the minor version number. Therefore, if you want to avoid breaking a working setup, you may choose to use a version constraint like "vectorcode<0.7.0";
• The patch version number indicates non-breaking changes. This can include new features and bug fixes. When I decide to deprecate things, I will make a new release with bumped patch version. Until the minor version number is bumped, the deprecated feature will still work but you'll see a warning. It's recommended to update your setup to adapt the new features.
