🚀 CodeMuse — Your AI-Powered Coding Companion

Ship faster. Code smarter.

CodeMuse is an AI-driven coding assistant that helps developers write cleaner, more maintainable, and bug-free code. It analyzes your code in real time, explains logic in plain English, generates documentation, catches bugs, and even suggests improvements.

Built for the Octopus Hackathon, CodeMuse is designed to be beginner-friendly yet powerful enough for advanced developers.

✨ Features

  • 🐛 Bug Detection — Catch potential issues and errors before they break your app.
  • 💬 Code Explanation — Understand any code snippet in plain English.
  • 📝 Comments & Docstrings — Auto-generate meaningful inline comments.
  • 📘 README Generator — Instantly generate professional project documentation.
  • ✅ Unit Test Generator — Create basic test cases for your functions.
  • ⚡ Improvement Suggestions — Get optimization and refactoring tips.

🛠️ Tech Stack

  • Frontend → Next.js 14, React, Tailwind CSS, Framer Motion
  • Backend → Next.js API routes
  • AI Layer → OpenRouter APIs (GLM 4.5 air)
  • Deployment → Vercel

🚀 Getting Started

1️⃣ Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/Aaditya-Salgaonkar/CodeMuse-Inspire-Improve-Ship.git
cd codemuse

2️⃣ Install dependencies

npm install

3️⃣ Set environment variables

Create a .env.local file in the root with:

OPENROUTER_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

4️⃣ Run locally

cd codemuse
npm run dev

Your app will be live at: http://localhost:3000

📖 How We Used AI

CodeMuse uses AI models via OpenRouter to:

  • Analyze and detect bugs in code.
  • Generate inline comments, docstrings, and README files.
  • Explain complex logic in plain English.
  • Suggest code improvements and test cases.

The glue logic, UI, and backend are custom-built, ensuring a smooth developer experience.
