Features

Everything you need to ship safer code

Combines static analysis with AI-powered detection for maximum coverage.

Real-time AI Analysis
Detects bugs as you type — no save required. Just pause and the AI reviews your code.
One-Click Fixes
CodeLens buttons appear on error lines. Click 'Fix with AI' and review the diff before applying.
GPT-4 or Claude
Choose your AI provider. Works with OpenAI and Anthropic — use whichever you prefer.
Smart Caching
Only re-analyzes functions that actually changed. Fast, efficient, and won't burn your API credits.
Streaming Responses
See fix progress in real-time as the AI generates code. No more waiting for spinners.
Secrets & Danger Scanning
Detects hardcoded API keys, eval/exec calls, unsafe pickle loads, and more.
How it works

Two layers of protection

1
Skylos CLI (on save)
Detects dead code, unused imports, unreachable functions
Scans for hardcoded secrets and API keys
Flags dangerous patterns (eval, pickle, shell=True)
100% local — no network calls
2
AI Watcher (on idle)
Analyzes changed functions after 2s of idle
Catches logic errors, type bugs, undefined variables
One-click fix with diff preview
Choose GPT-4 or Claude — your API key
