Userscript client for the Codot AIssistant

Codot Client

This is a userscript client for the Codot AIssistant.

What is Codot?

Codot is short for Codewars Bot. It's a GPT-powered assistant designed to help users of the Codewars platform as they embark on their journey with Codewars kata.

Installation

The Codot frontend is a userscript compatible with Tampermonkey. To install it, you need to first install the Tampermonkey extension for your browser. Then, add the Codot userscript to your Tampermonkey library. Refresh the Codewars page after installing the script.

Features

Codot offers three functions to support you with solving Codewars kata: help with failed tests, perform a code review, and run code style tools on your solution.

Help with failed tests

Codot offers his help when you are training on a Codewars challenge and your tests (either sample tests or a submission attempt) end in failure. Upon a request for help, Codot will take some time to think. Please note that the bot's intelligence is artificial, so figuring out the answer may take some time - around 10 seconds of intensive thinking. After a short while, Codot will present you with some hopefully helpful hints.

Run style check tools

Note: currently, style checks support only Python and JavaScript code.

Codot can run stylechecks and linters on your solution and report code smells, potential code issues, bugs, and security problems.

Code reviews

Codot can perform reviews of your solution and raise remarks about style, practices, used algorithms, etc.

Accuracy and effectiveness

Codot is a tool in a very early phase, based on AI utilities, and as such, it is very likely that results produced by it are not accurate, clear, understandable, or even helpful at all. Its prompts and configs still require a lot of fine-tuning to produce more helpful, accurate hints.

Linting feature uses default configs which might not be suitable for code of solutions of Codewars problems. Rulesets can be tuned if the feature will be considered interesting for users.

Limits

During the initial testing phase, there is a limit of 1 query per minute and a maximum of 5 queries per hour for a single user ID. These limits may be increased after the initial testing phase.

To minimize spoilers, Codot does not help with failed tests for kata ranked higher than 6 kyu or beta kata.

Note on Availability

Currently, Codot utilizes my private OpenAI quota and a free hosting service. It's possible that my API quotas could be exhausted at any time, or that my billing plan could run out, or that the service could go down without my notice, or that I may decide to discontinue payment for it. Therefore, there are absolutely no guarantees.
