Codeology

Codeology for VS Code and Visual Studio

Document how your code works, right where you wrote it

Select a function, press Ctrl Alt D, and explain it in your own words. Codeology saves it as Markdown beside your code and adds it to your Lifework — a searchable memory of everything you've built.

AMyCharacter::Sprint

Raises walk speed while the player holds Sprint, and drains stamina until it runs out or the key is released.

void Sprint(float SpeedMultiplier = 1.5f);

How it works

  1. Capture

    Codeology reads the code under your cursor — signature, parameters, specifiers like UFUNCTION and <suspends>, and the libraries it uses — so you only write the explanation.

  2. Explain

    Write how it works, its edge cases, and why. Docs live in your repository's .codeology folder, readable on GitHub and reviewed like code.

  3. Remember

    Every project joins your Lifework. Search it years later, reuse what you documented while you type, and see when code drifts from its doc.
