How can developers use Rephlo to save time?
Developers use Rephlo to review code, generate documentation, debug errors, translate between programming languages, and write unit tests — all without leaving their IDE. By eliminating copy-paste workflows between IDE and browser AI tools, developers save 1-2 hours per day.
Rephlo works in VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, GitHub, Jira, Slack, and email. Select code in your editor, press the hotkey, and run commands like "Find Bug", "Gen Docstring", or "Convert Language". With Knowledge Spaces, you can upload codebase documentation for context-aware analysis.
What is the recommended developer setup for Rephlo?
Use Anthropic Claude Sonnet 4.5 as your primary provider for coding tasks. Add Ollama with DeepSeek Coder for private/offline coding. Add Groq for quick syntax checks. Create Knowledge Spaces for your project docs, library docs, and coding standards.
The multi-provider approach lets you match the AI to the task. Claude excels at complex code analysis and refactoring. Groq provides near-instant responses for simple queries. Ollama keeps sensitive intellectual property completely local. Create three Spaces: "Current Project" with architectural specs, "Library Docs" for framework documentation, and "Coding Standards" with your team's conventions.
What developer commands should I set up?
Essential developer commands include: "Gen Docstring" for documentation, "Find Bug" for code analysis, "Convert Language" for cross-language translation, "Explain Regex" for complex patterns, "Refactor Clean" for code improvement, and "Write Unit Test" for test generation.
Each command is designed for Combination mode — select code in your editor and run the command. "Find Bug" analyzes for runtime errors, null references, race conditions, and logic flaws. "Gen Docstring" creates XML documentation with param and return tags. "Write Unit Test" generates tests with edge cases, null inputs, and boundary conditions using xUnit or NUnit syntax.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Rephlo work inside VS Code?
Yes, Rephlo works with VS Code and any other text editor. Select code in the editor, press your hotkey, and run commands. It works system-wide, not as an IDE plugin.
Can Rephlo analyze screenshots of error messages?
Yes, Rephlo includes Visual Intelligence for screenshot analysis. Capture an error dialog or stack trace and let AI analyze it.
