📖 How to Use

1. Add AI Directives to Your Code

Add directives using comments in your code to guide the AI:

// @ai: This must use iterators and be designed for processing 1 million + records
function processData(data) {
  return data.map((item) => item * 2);
}

// @ai: Must not be a float
function calculateTotal(items) {
  return items.reduce((sum, item) => sum + item.price, 0);
}

# @ai: Make sure always return Json
def fetch_user_data(user_id):
    response = requests.get(f"/api/users/{user_id}")
    return response.json()

# @ai: We must maintain this to Stripe API version 2.34
def process_payment(amount, card_token):
    # payment processing logic
    pass

2. Type into UI:
