5.Configuring Traycer::

• With VS Code's settings (File -> Preferences -> Settings), you can find Traycer's configuration options to adjust settings such as automatic analysis, notifications, and interface preferences.

Basic Operations with Traycer

Mission planning::

• In VS Code, open the project you are working on.
• You can describe the code task you wish to accomplish by selecting "New Task" from Traycer's sidebar or shortcut menu.
• Traycer automatically analyzes the current code base and generates an execution plan. You can modify this plan to add or remove steps.

Real-time code review::

• As you write code, Traycer runs in the background, analyzing each new line of code or modification.
• It will display feedback in the bottom right corner or in the notification area of your settings, including potential optimization suggestions or error warnings.
• This feedback can be directly clicked on for more details or to make changes.

code generation::

• When a new feature or snippet of code is needed, you can enter the requirements in Traycer's interface and Traycer will generate code based on your description.
• You can choose to apply these codes or tweak them further.

bug fix::

• Traycer automatically recognizes errors in your code and suggests fixes. You can choose to fix it automatically or modify it manually according to the suggestions.

context-sensitive chat (computing)::

• For each file, Traycer provides a chat interface. You can discuss specific code issues with the AI or get advice via Q&A.

practical skill

• Automatic analysis switch: You can adjust whether Traycer automatically performs code analysis in the background, which is useful for large projects.
• historical record: Traycer keeps a history of all tasks to help you track changes and understand code evolution.
• Customized Feedback: You can customize the type and frequency of feedback to fit your work habits.

With these steps and features, developers can develop and maintain code more efficiently, reduce errors, and rapidly improve code quality.
