## 💙 What is Elysia's Code Companion?

**Elysia's Code Companion** is a standalone web app that brings the power of AI code analysis to your browser. Open any folder, chat with the AI, get insights, find bugs, and improve your code - all without leaving your browser.

### 🎯 Why This App?

**Problem:** You can't always be in VS Code, but you still want AI help with your code.

**Solution:** A browser-based code companion that:

- ✅ Reads local folders (File System Access API)
- ✅ Analyzes code structure
- ✅ Chats with you about your code
- ✅ Finds bugs & suggests improvements
- ✅ Works offline (after initial load)
- ✅ No backend needed (100% client-side!)

---

## ✨ Key Features

### 📂 **File System Access**

- Open any folder on your computer (Windows 11 Edge/Chrome supported!)
- Browse files in elegant tree view
- Preview code with syntax highlighting
- Search files instantly

### 💬 **AI Chat Interface**

- Stream responses in real-time (like VS Code!)
- Natural language queries about your code
- Context-aware (AI "sees" your files)
- Markdown rendering + code syntax highlighting

### 🧠 **Smart Analysis**

- **`/scan`** - Full project analysis
- **`/analyze [file]`** - Deep dive into specific files
- **`/tree`** - Project structure visualization

```

```
Find bugs in utils.js
```

```
How can I improve performance?
```

```
Explain the architecture
```

### Special Commands

| Command               | Description                                 |
| --------------------- | ------------------------------------------- |
| `/scan`               | Analyze entire project structure            |
| `/analyze <filename>` | Deep analysis of specific file              |
| `/tree`               | Show project file tree                      |
| `/stats`              | Project statistics (files, languages, etc.) |
| `/help`               | Show all commands                           |

### Tips & Tricks

**💡 Keyboard Shortcuts:**

- `Ctrl + O` — Open folder picker
- `Ctrl + K` — Focus search box
- `Ctrl + Enter` — Send message (when chat input focused)
- `Arrow Up/Down` — Navigate file tree (when tree focused)
- `Enter` — Open selected file in tree
- `Escape` — Close modals

**💡 Smart Tips:**

💡 **Mention specific files** in your questions - the AI will include them in context automatically

💡 **Use `/scan` first** when opening a new project - gives the AI full context

💡 **Preview files** by clicking in the tree - see code with syntax highlighting

💡 **Search files** using the search box - fast filter

💡 **🔍 Fullscreen Viewer** - Click the magnifying glass icon in preview to read code in large modal

💡 **✨ Artifacts Mode** - For HTML files, click the sparkle icon to preview live in browser (like Claude.ai!)

---

### 🎨 Code Viewer Features

**Fullscreen Code Viewer:**

- Large, comfortable reading view
- Full syntax highlighting
- Copy entire file with one click
- Quick switch to Artifact mode (for HTML)

**✨ Artifacts Preview (HTML Live Preview):**

Artifacts are **live HTML previews** - just like Claude.ai! 🎨

Instead of just reading HTML code, you can **see it rendered** with full interactivity.

**How to use:**

1. Open any `.html` file in the tree
2. Click ✨ (sparkle icon) in preview panel
3. Or click 🔍 (fullscreen) then ✨

**Features:**

- ✅ Renders HTML in sandboxed iframe (safe!)
- ✅ Auto-loads CSS from `<link>` tags
- ✅ Auto-loads JS from `<script>` tags
- ✅ Relative paths resolved automatically
- ✅ Fully interactive (buttons, forms, animations work!)
- ✅ Refresh with 🔄 button anytime
- ✅ Switch to code view with 📝 button

**Example:**

If your `index.html` has:

```html
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css" />
<script src="app.js"></script>
```

Elysia automatically finds and inlines both files! No manual setup needed.

**Perfect for:**

- 🎨 Previewing static websites
- 📱 Testing responsive designs
- 🎮 Checking interactive components
- 💌 Viewing email templates
- 📊 Data visualizations

**Security:** Runs in sandbox with `allow-scripts allow-same-origin` - isolated from main app.
