You Describe the Task

Type your request in Copilot Chat or the Activity Bar sidebar. AI Captain detects your intent automatically.

Copilot Generates Code

Using your workspace context, Copilot generates precise search-replace edits and applies them to your files.

Specialist Agents Take Over

19 specialist agents handle testing, debugging, security auditing, code review, refactoring, and more — each optimized for its domain.

Iterate Until Perfect

If critical issues are found, AI Captain fixes them automatically. The loop continues until the code passes review.

@aicaptain /review

Code Review: src/auth.ts

⚠️ Security Issue — Password is not hashed before storage. Use bcrypt with at least 12 rounds.

🔎 Performance — Database query inside the loop causes N+1 problem. Batch with a single query.

Best Practice — Good use of parameterized queries, preventing SQL injection.

Code Reviews That Find Real Issues

Unlike traditional linters, AI Captain's reviews check correctness, security (OWASP), types, architecture, performance, and style with a structured checklist.

  • OWASP Top 10 security vulnerability detection
  • Finds bugs, race conditions, and logic errors
  • Catches performance anti-patterns
  • Architecture and style recommendations

Frequently Asked Questions

You need VS Code 1.99 or later and the GitHub Copilot Chat extension. That's it!

Yes! AI Captain is completely free and open source under the MIT license. The extension itself has zero cost. You just need a GitHub Copilot subscription (which you may already have).

AI Captain adds three key capabilities: (1) an autonomous coding loop that automatically applies and reviews code changes, (2) 19 specialist agents for testing, debugging, security auditing, refactoring, and more, and (3) a persistent memory bank that remembers decisions and patterns across sessions.

AI Captain works with any language or framework that GitHub Copilot supports — TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Go, Rust, Java, C#, and many more. The /research command can look up documentation for any technology.

Code is processed through GitHub Copilot (which you're already using). No code is stored by AI Captain itself — it's a zero-dependency extension with no backend or telemetry.

AI Captain includes agents for coding, testing, debugging, security auditing, code review, pre-commit review, refactoring, migration, docs writing, rapid MVP building, production readiness validation, orchestrating multi-agent pipelines, full-stack development, architecture analysis, performance optimization, planning, TDD guidance, build fixing, and tech stack analysis. Install them with the "Install Agents" command.
