Lingma installs as a plugin in VS Code and JetBrains IDEs and centers on three moments: inline and block completion, explaining selected code with generated comments, and asking project questions in a side panel, including pasted errors. Chinese requirements and comments flow smoothly, and unit test generation is a common use. Test generated code yourself, and keep internal APIs and keys out of the chat box.
What it does
- Inline and block completion from the current file
- Explain selected code, add comments, rewrite from Chinese requirements
- Side chat for errors and code snippets
- Unit tests and common utility code
- Plugins for VS Code and JetBrains IDEs
Who it is for
- Staying in a familiar IDE instead of switching for AI
- Uncommented legacy code that needs explanation first
- Small functions, regex and scripts described in Chinese
- Asking about errors without copying to another window
How to get started
- Install from the IDE marketplace, sign in, and learn completion on an existing project
- State input, output and constraints before generating
- Add tests to results; keep sensitive config and keys out of chat
