VS Code Extension

Review code without leaving your editor. The Nexdge VS Code extension runs in the background and reviews your files as you work.

Installation

Open VS Code. Go to the Extensions panel (Ctrl+Shift+X on Windows, Cmd+Shift+X on Mac). Search for "Nexdge". Click Install.

Sign in

After installation, click the Nexdge icon in the sidebar. Sign in with your Nexdge account. Your credits and plan sync automatically.

How it works

The extension reviews your file automatically when you save (Ctrl+S). Findings appear as inline diagnostics: underlines on the affected lines, with severity indicators in the gutter. Hover over any underlined line to see the plain English explanation.

Quick fix

When a verified rewrite is available, a lightbulb icon appears on the line. Click it and select "Apply Nexdge fix" to replace the affected code with the verified clean version.

Settings

In VS Code settings, search for "Nexdge" to configure: Auto-review on save (on by default, toggle off if you prefer to trigger reviews manually), Specialists (choose which specialists run on each review), Language filter (restrict reviews to specific file types).

Available on

Pro plan and above. Not available on Free or Solo plans.
