Generate code recommendations
Once you have extracted your code snippets and decided which of the snippets you want to optimise, you can use the Artemis Recommendations functionality to generate alternative snippets.
In order to generate code recommendations, first ensure that you are on the Snippets section of your selected code project. See image below:
Across the Code Snippets page, the "plus" icon indicates the option to create an alternative code recommendation.
To generate a code recommendation for a given snippets, click the plus icon available under Recommendations for that particular snippet.
If you would prefer to generate code recommendations for all of the extracted code snippets, click the plus sign next to the Recommendations column title on top.
See image below:
Once you click the plus icon for recommendations, it will open a Generate Recommendations panel to select the LLM and provide additional details. In order to start the code recommendations generation, you need to select an LLM. We use a set of pre-defined prompts to generate the code recommendations using LLMs, but you are also able to set your own prompt, or provide additional context for your query. See image below:
Use the checkboxes to select one or more LLMs to generate the code recommendations.
Click on the Prompt button (circled in red in the image above) to edit the prompt. Clicking on the Prompt button will open the following form:
Click the down arrow on top (labeled 1️⃣ in the diagram above) to select from a list of other pre-defined prompts.
Click the "notepad" icon (labeled 2️⃣ in the diagram above) to edit a prompt that has already been defined.
Click the "plus" icon (labeled 3️⃣ in the diagram above) to define a completely new prompt.
Once you make your edits using 1, 2, or 3 above, click Create to add your prompt.
Click Run on the Generate Recommendations panel to start generating alternative code snippets.
Once the code generation process has completed, the alternative snippets, generated by the different LLMs you selected, will appear under the Recommendations section.
Sometimes the LLMs you selected will not be able to provide alternative code snippets. The grey alert icon will provide more information on this. See image below:
Click on ay of the entries under Recommendations to see details of the code recommendation.
Additional information include a comparison of the original code with the recommended code and Artemis chat functionality to ask questions about the recommendation. See image below for an example:
Once you have your code recommendations generated, you can use the Artemis Recommendation Scores to and Validations to check the credibility of the code recommendation.
