Getting Started

Install AFKmate, write some code, step away. That's it.

Installation

  1. Open VS Code
  2. Go to Extensions (Cmd+Shift+X / Ctrl+Shift+X)
  3. Search for "AFKmate"
  4. Click Install
  5. Reload VS Code when prompted

Alternatively, install directly from the VS Code Marketplace.

First Analysis

Once installed, AFKmate runs in the background. Write code as you normally would. Step away. When the idle timer kicks in (default: 3 minutes of no keystrokes), AFKmate quietly analyzes your open files and surfaces findings when you return.

If you don't want to wait, trigger analysis manually:

  • Mac: Cmd+Shift+A
  • Windows/Linux: Ctrl+Shift+A

Findings show up as inline annotations in your editor and in the AFKmate sidebar.
