Autopilot - Using GPT to Work on Entire Codebases

Autopilot is an AI tool that utilizes GPT to read a codebase, create context, and solve tasks that you request.

Features

CreateSummaries script:

• 📚 Pre-processes all the relavent code base files.
• 👀 A watcher continuously updates files that have been modified.

🖥️ UI script:

• 🧩 Desides what files to update for the given task.
• 🤖 Does code updates for you.
• 📋 Shows you what was updated. Full process log with each AI interaction also produced.
• 🔧 Optional interacrive mode to see the process and retry, continue, abort options.

🛠️ Installation

1. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/fjrdomingues/autopilot.git
2. Do cd autopilot to install dependencies: npm install
3. Create the .env file and set up the environment variables:
   1. Copy the .env.template file to .env: cp .env.template .env
   2. Set up an OpenAI API key and file with the key: OPENAI_API_KEY=<your-api-key>. Create openAI API key
   3. Set the path to your code CODE_DIR=<path-to-your-code>
   4. Update IGNORE_LIST=node_modules,coverage,public,__tests__
   5. Update FILE_EXTENSIONS_TO_PROCESS=.js,.tsx,.ts,.jsx

Running

1. The indexer

• node createSummaryOfFiles --all - creates a summary of all files (required for first run) and starts the watcher.
• node createSummaryOfFiles - starts the watcher for any code changes which would trigger a file re-index.

2. The tasker

• node ui -t "YOUR_TASK" - is the easiest way to start.
  • Solutions will be auto applied on your code and a git diff shown if possible.
  • Alternatively you may specify --auto-apply=false.
• node ui -h - will show you all the options.

Test/Interactive mode

This project is still in alpha stage. It's recommended that you use node ui -i for an interactive mode here you can review the output of every step before proceeding.

Components

• createSummaryOfFiles.js: Manages the code summarization process for JavaScript and TypeScript files.
• ui.js: Handles the user interface (UI) interaction and utilizes the GPT-based summaries to complete tasks.
