Stenography

Stenography is another AI tool laser-focused on automatic code documentation. It works silently in the background of VS Code, adding comprehensive comments and docstrings to your code as you write it. It explains the 'why' behind complex logic, making codebases more understandable. It offers strong privacy guarantees, with options for local processing. The goal is to eliminate the documentation debt that accumulates during rapid development. It targets individual developers and teams who prioritize code clarity and long-term maintainability but lack the time for manual documentation. It's a highly specialized tool that excels at its singular, valuable task.
