Why we included this project

Rubberduck puts OpenAI's models in the VS Code side bar, so you can ask for a new function, a refactor of the selected block, test cases, or an explanation of a confusing piece of code without switching windows. It also diagnoses compiler and linter errors with suggested fixes, and the chat remembers what you have selected in the editor, which keeps answers tied to the code in front of you. The custom conversation templates are a real plus: you can save your own reusable prompts and share them with teammates. It needs an OpenAI API key and runs entirely inside VS Code, so there is no separate service to host. For teams that already have a key and want a lightweight alternative to a heavier AI coding platform, this is a straightforward fit.
