Code Assistant in SourceCraft
Code Assistant is an AI-driven developer assistant based on large language models (LLM)s. With Code Assistant, you can optimize the code writing process and increase your performance.
The smart autocompletion mode enables AI assistant to analyze the code context and come up with the most relevant suggestions for functions, cycles, conditions, and more.
Code Assistant also features a chat mode you can use to interact with the AI assistant in SourceCraft or your IDE interface.

SourceCraft Code Assistant documentation
Editing code
Use the SourceCraft interface with built-in Code Assistant to edit your project code or add new files and directories. You can introduce changes directly into the repository branch or through a pull request.
The smart autocompletion mode explicitly supports code autocompletion for the following programming languages and frameworks:
- C++
- Go
- Java
- JavaScript/TypeScript
- Kotlin
- Python
- Scala
- SQL
- Swift
Autocompletion may also work for other languages. For languages that are less represented in public repositories, the number and quality of autocompletion prompts will be lower.
Code Assistant supports the following types of suggestions:
- Inline completion: Text autocompletion as you type. Works for code, texts, and documents.
- Full-function completion: Autocompletion of entire functions or methods.
When generating a suggestion, the loading icon will appear to the left of the editable code. If generation stops or there is no result, you will see the (no suggestion) icon.
For more information, see Editing code in SourceCraft Code Assistant.
