AI TODO Extractor — Engineering Technical Debt Visibility
Scattered code comments like // TODO: fix this later or # FIXME: race condition are the silent killers of software velocity. The **DevUtility Hub AI TODO Extractor** is a diagnostic utility that scans your source code, centralizes your technical debt, and uses high-fidelity AI prompting to help you resolve long-standing issues through intelligent automation.
🧠The Architecture of Debt Management
Our extractor goes beyond simple regex searching to provide an actionable engineering backlog:
- **Priority-Weighted Extraction**: Automatically categorizes findings based on severity hierarchy: FIXME/BUG (High), HACK/OPTIMIZE (Medium), and TODO/NOTE (Low).
- **Deep-Contextual Prompting**: For every extracted item, the tool generates a specialized AI prompt containing the surrounding code lines, allowing the LLM to provide a viable implementation without needing access to your entire repo.
- **Polyglot Parsing Support**: High-accuracy detection for comment patterns across the 2026 tech landscape—including Rust, Go, TypeScript, Python, and C#.
- **Debt Resolution Directives**: Generates "Resolution Prompts" that instruct the AI to provide unit tests for the fix, ensuring that resolving technical debt doesn't introduce new regressions.
âš¡ Senior Engineer Workflow
1. **Code Audit**: Paste your files or specific modules into the extraction workbench.
2. **Triage & Prioritization**: Review the centralized list of annotations, organized by severity and file location.
3. **AI-Assisted Remediation**: Select critical FIXMEs and use the generated prompts to receive implementation suggestions from your preferred AI.
ðŸ›¡ï¸ Secure-by-Design Compliance
Technical debt often reveals critical security flaws or unoptimized proprietary logic. Sending your entire codebase to an external auditor is non-viable for most enterprises. **DevUtility Hub is 100% Client-Side**. Your source code is parsed and analyzed locally within your browser's isolated process. Your proprietary data never touches our servers, ensuring your technical debt remains your internal secret.
Zero-Knowledge Execution & Edge Architecture
Unlike traditional monolithic developer utilities, DevUtility Hub operates entirely on a Zero-Knowledge architectural framework. When utilizing the Docker AI TODO Extractor, all computational workload is completely shifted to your local execution environment via WebAssembly (Wasm) and your browser's native JavaScript engine (such as V8 or SpiderMonkey).
Why Local Workloads Matter
Transmitting proprietary JSON objects, sensitive source code, or unencrypted text strings to an unknown third-party server introduces critical security vulnerabilities. By executing the Docker AI TODO Extractor securely within the isolated sandbox of your Document Object Model (DOM), we structurally guarantee strict compliance with major data protection regulations like GDPR, CCPA, and HIPAA. We do not ingest, log, or telemetry your text payloads. Your local RAM serves as the absolute boundary.
Network-Free Performance
Furthermore, by completely eliminating asynchronous HTTP POST payloads to a centralized cloud infrastructure, we guarantee effectively zero latency. The Docker AI TODO Extractor provides instant execution without arbitrary rate limits, artificial file size constraints, or server timeouts. Our global edge network serves the application wrapper, while your local machine handles the heavy lifting.
