New Bevel extension: Generate AI-ready characterization test prompts for legacy code. Extract dependencies, create structured prompts, and integrate with Bevel’s knowledge graph. Built for Cursor, Copilot & more. Free for personal use!
👋 Hey Product Hunt — Ali here again from the Bevel team!
Today we’re launching something new for developers working with legacy or complex code:
👉 Bevel’s Characterization Test Prompt Generator — a VS Code extension that helps you create AI-ready prompts for tools like Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and others.
If you’ve ever tried generating tests for legacy code with an AI assistant, you know how hard it is to get the right context. The assistant often misses key dependencies, mocks the wrong things, or just gives up.
We built this tool to make those prompts smarter.
It auto-extracts relevant dependencies and organizes them into structured, test-ready prompts — no code changes required.
🔧 What it does:
Extracts dependencies from complex code automatically
Builds AI-friendly prompt templates for characterization tests
Integrates seamlessly with Bevel’s main extension and knowledge graph
If you're working on a big refactor, documenting unknown code, or just trying to stabilize something brittle — this tool is for you.
💬 We’d love to hear what you think:
🔗 Try the extension → https://marketplace.visualstudio...
Upvote if this helps you spend less time yelling at your code
Built for devs who’ve been burned by legacy spaghetti — and still came back for more
