About Blinky
Blinky is an open-source AI debugging agent integrated into VS Code that leverages LLMs to autonomously identify and fix bugs in backend codebases. It uses VSCode's Language Server Protocol for GoToDefinition and GetAllReferences navigation, combined with strategic print-statement injection to triangulate errors in real-world server code. The agent operates through an interactive chat panel where developers describe the issue and reproduction steps, then Blinky traverses the codebase, proposes targeted fixes, and uses a match-and-replace technique with line-number verification to avoid hallucination errors.
