Ariana is an IDE extension to understand what happens during runtime. You don't have to put print(), console.log() or breakpoints. Currently supports JS/TS & Python.

✨ Key Features

Use Ariana VSCode extension to : - 🕵️ Hover over any expression to see its last recorded values - ⏱️ See how long it took for any expression in your code to run. - 🧵 Provide runtime history to coding agent for context-aware debugging (WIP)

💾 How to install

1) Install the extension on your IDE

Install the extension on the VSCode Marketplace, or by searching for Ariana in the extensions tab in VSCode or Cursor.

2) Install the ariana CLI

📖 How to use

1) ✨ - REQUIRED - Add ariana just in front of your command. It will collect runtime information

ariana <run command>

For example:

2) 👾 View runtime insights directly in your code.

Open a code file, press ctrl + shift + p and search for the Ariana: Toggle Traced Expressions Highlighting command.

• 🗺️ Identify which sections of your code ran

  Highlight Color	Meaning
  🟢 Green	Code segment ran successfully.
  🔴 Red	Code crashed here.
  ⚪ None	Code segment didn’t run or couldn't be recorded.

• 🕵️ Hover over any expression to reveal its past values

3) 🤖 Use AI to recap what your code did & identify error root causes (WIP)

Run:

ariana --recap

It will tell you what might have gone wrong with your code.

Coming soon: A coding agent that answers questions and directly impacts your codebase
