Blinky: AI Debugging Agent

Be First To Review
SKU: blinky
Blinky is an open-source AI debugging agent integrated into Visual Studio Code (VSCode). It leverages Large Language Models (LLMs) to help developers identify and fix backend code errors efficiently. By utilizing the VSCode API, Language Server Protocol (LSP), and print statement debugging, Blinky triangulates and addresses bugs in real-world backend systems. The agent operates through an interactive chat interface within VSCode, allowing developers to describe issues, specify reproduction steps, and provide feedback during the debugging process. Inspired by SWE-agent, Blinky aims to enhance the debugging experience by automating error detection and correction.
AI debugging VSCode extension backend development LLM integration open-source
Automating the identification and correction of backend code errors.
Enhancing the debugging process within the VSCode environment.
Reducing the time and effort required for manual debugging.
Improving code quality and reliability through AI-assisted debugging.
Blinky demonstrates high autonomy through real-time error detection, automated code fixes using LLMs, and interactive debugging within VSCode. However, it requires manual input for error reproduction steps (source 1) and struggles with large-scale code edits (source 2), requiring developer feedback at critical junctures. The 'match and replace' editing technique (source 2) reduces reliance on precise line numbers but still needs human validation for changes.
