zipDemon - Visual Studio Code Extension

zipDemon is a Visual Studio Code extension that automatically generates documentation for supported programming languages. It leverages an AI-powered language model to provide an explanation of the code, along with a summary of classes, functions, and variables identified within the file. The generated documentation is saved as a Markdown file (README.md) in a docs subdirectory within the same directory as the source code file.

Features

• Automatically generates documentation for classes, functions, and variables.
• Uses AI-powered language model (Gemini API) for code explanation.
• Saves the generated documentation as a Markdown file (README.md) in the docs subdirectory.
• Supports multiple programming languages (e.g., JavaScript, Python, Java, C++, Ruby, Go).
• Clean up code by improving naming conventions, simplification, and refactoring.

Installation

To install the zipDemon extension for Visual Studio Code:

1. Open Visual Studio Code.
2. Go to the Extensions view by clicking the Extensions icon in the Activity Bar on the side of the window.
