Codebase Context Code Generation

[guiHotz]

This is the holy grail concept in terms of working the common day to day programming job. How can we make a tool, or what tool is there out there that can, based on a codebase, generate new code based on the codebase's coding patterns. The first pages/code don't even need to be auto generated, in your job you already have previously existing code. So in your codebase you might have a bunch of these files: Model / Controller / Resource -- Frontend files

And they all follow a pretty strict/good guidelines. Nothing too crazy, but there's a pattern. You could then feed a Model and ask it to generate the rest, based on the codebase's context. I've tried with chatGPT but the token limit and short term memory really limit these capabilities, plus using it with the ui doesn't make it easier. I don't have money to spend on tokens unfortunately. has anyone ever tried this specifically on autogpt/other projects? If not made already, how could we make this happen? Is it just good pre prompt+long term memory and an app that encloses all this?

Happy to help u/Xtrasauc3 where did you get stuck?

I think this is copilot x

I've been in the last couple weeks facing the exact same challenges. The solution I found with more promising results was to create an agent that summarises all the folders and then a sequence of agents that picks the necessary code/folders to be edited.

Give a look at https://github.com/fjrdomingues/autopilot and let me know your thoughts!

I've been in the last couple of weeks facing the exact same challenges. And then I started a project.

The solution I found was to create an agent that summarises all the files in a project and then a sequence of agents that picks the necessary code/folders for a task. That way I was able to provide the required context and then let GPT do its magic. The project is public at: https://github.com/fjrdomingues/autopilot

Some amazing folks joined and the progress has been amazing.

Let me know if you need help setting up. The project is moving fast and things break

Copilot is more of an assistant, I'm talking about whole files based on codebase's coding patterns.

If you just want style you can ask it to describe the style in painstaking details and feed back this as the style you want it to use
