Code Dryer

Finds similar code in selected files with semantic embeddings, so you can refactor and DRY up your codebase.

Use

1. Run Code Dryer: Dry
2. Select files
3. See similarity results

About

Code Dryer extracts functions, classes, and top-level code chunks from the files you select, computes embeddings for each chunk, and finds nearest neighbor matches so you can refactor them and stay DRY.

Features

• Extracts symbols and top-level code chunks
• Computes and caches embeddings per workspace
• Performs cosine nearest neighbor search for similarity
• Shows results in a simple similarities view

Quick Start

1. Install dependencies:

npm install

2. Press F5 to open the Extension Development Host, then run the Code Dryer: Dry command and select files.

How it is helpful

In a large codebase, it isn't always easy to find similar code sections that could be refactored. With Code Dryer, you can quickly identify these sections and DRY up your code.

Notes

• Embeddings are stored in the extension global storage (per workspace).
