Generate Code from TODOs

What it does?​

The Generate Code from TODOs command automatically creates code based on TODO comments in your codebase. These TODOs are often placeholders for future development or functionality. This command helps you quickly implement these planned features or logic directly from your notes.

Why to use it?​

tip

This command supports all programming languages and frameworks.

To speed up development by turning TODO comments into actual, functional code. This command is particularly useful for developers who jot down ideas or outline functionality with TODOs and want to convert them into working code without the hassle of starting from scratch.
