Visual Studio Code OpenAI Code Analyzer

The "vscode-openai-code-analyzer" is a Visual Studio Code extension that leverages OpenAI GPT technology to analyze and summarize code snippets in various programming languages. It also performs a code review. This is configurable thru the contents of the system, assistent and user roles (see Configuration section below).

Features

This revamped extension now includes:

• Improved user interaction with the Summarize Code and OpenAI Code Analyzer Settings commands.
• More comprehensive code analysis and summarization by utilizing a role-based message system in OpenAI API calls.
• Enhanced configurability with options to specify the GPT model and customize the content of system, assistant, and user prompts.
• A new Markdown preview feature that renders the summary, token usage, and other relevant information in a well-formatted Markdown document.
• Error handling improvements to provide more informative error messages.
• Progress reporting during the summarization process.
