VS Code extension for repo drift

Catch repo drift before fast shipping turns into quiet chaos.

Driftpulse scans your repo for code drift, architecture drift, config drift, and docs drift — so AI-assisted shipping does not quietly break structure over time.

Strong MVP foundation. Main drift risk sits in background monitoring flow, duplicated contracts, and documentation mismatches that can compound as features grow.

Background monitoring path needs stronger concurrency protection
Prompt/schema contract duplicated across code and docs
Background monitoring flow needs deeper test coverage
Add tests for background monitoring debounce and ignore rules
Tighten background re-analysis behavior during active runs
Reduce duplicated contract definitions across repo docs and code
Surface drift while you are still inside the repo, not six weeks later when it is harder to unwind.
The problem

Fast repos drift long before they visibly break.

AI speeds up shipping. It also speeds up inconsistency. The repo can still compile while the structure, assumptions, config, and docs quietly stop matching each other.

Architecture drift

New flows get added, original boundaries get blurred, and the repo quietly stops matching the intended structure.

Config drift

Scripts, ignore rules, env setup, CI behavior, and repo conventions shift across files until reliability starts slipping.

Docs drift

README, prompts, setup notes, and actual code behavior stop matching — even though the repo still looks fine on the surface.

Who it is for

Built for people moving faster than process can keep up.

This is for developers and small teams that need a practical signal when the repo starts slipping away from its intended shape.

How it works

A simple workflow inside the editor.

Install it, analyze the repo, review structured issues, and let background monitoring keep an eye on important changes.

01

Install the extension

Add Driftpulse to VS Code and set your API key once. No config files, no setup overhead.

02

Analyze the repo

Driftpulse scans the codebase, prioritizes important files, and runs structured drift analysis.

03

Review useful issues

See drift summaries, top issues, and next actions in a clean results panel inside the editor.

04

Keep it monitored

Background monitoring re-runs analysis after meaningful file changes so drift surfaces early — not six weeks later.

Beta access

The extension MVP is already working. The next step is getting it into real repos, learning where the signal is strongest, and then building the SaaS layer around history, workflows, and alerts.

• Extension-first MVP, works today
• Background monitoring built in
• Future SaaS layer: history, teams, alerts, billing

FAQ

A few quick answers.

Clear enough to build trust now without overloading the page.

Is this already a full SaaS product?

Not yet. The current MVP is extension-first inside VS Code. The longer-term direction includes history, team workflows, alerts, dashboards, and billing.

Who is it for right now?

Solo devs, indie hackers, and small fast-moving teams using AI heavily and shipping quickly.

What kind of drift does it detect?

Code drift, architecture drift, config drift, and docs drift — especially the quiet mismatches that compound over time.

Why join early?

Early users will directly shape the workflows, reports, and future SaaS direction around this product.
