About AICode

AICode is a spec-driven, offline-first AI coding assistant and VS Code extension that uses a local 5D index to enforce control before code generation. It aims to reduce manual code review by moving human control to the specification stage, then auditing the implementation against that specification.

The tool operates with a five-dimensional index that provides multiple views of a codebase, enabling the agent to understand code in depth even without documentation. It performs audits and corrections across passes to identify and fix errors before delivery.

AICode emphasizes a controlled, patch-by-patch workflow whereby changes are designed, corrected and locked in plain language before any code is written. It presents a strict execution model where an AI proposes changes that humans review and accept, ensuring deliberate evolution of the codebase.

Designed to handle large legacy codebases, AICode integrates with a private, offline setup that does not transmit code to external servers. It offers built-in quality guarantees and supports a data-sovereign approach by keeping code locally and connecting directly to the chosen model provider.
