Coding Studio

A professional, split-screen developer suite with 6 AI-powered coding tools. Debug, refactor, explain, generate, convert code, and write tests with intelligent model routing.

Pro Plan Required

Coding Studio is an exclusive feature for Pro plan subscribers. Upgrade to Pro to unlock all 6 coding tools with unlimited usage.

Overview

Coding Studio is a professional developer environment that brings IDE-style coding tools to your browser. With a split-screen interface, you can input code on the left and see AI-generated results on the right, complete with syntax highlighting, visual diffs, and one-click apply functionality.

Getting Started

1

Access Coding Studio

Navigate to /studio/coding from your dashboard or click "Coding Studio" in the main navigation. You'll need an active Pro subscription to access this feature.

2

Select a Tool

Choose from 6 specialized tools in the toolbar: Explain, Debug, Refactor, Generate, Convert, or Tests. Each tool is optimized for specific coding tasks.

3

Input Your Code

Paste or type your code in the left panel. The editor supports 18+ programming languages with automatic language detection and syntax highlighting.

4

Run and Review

Click the action button (e.g., "Explain Code") to process your code. Results appear in the right panel with formatted output, diffs, and generated files.

Interface Overview

The Coding Studio interface is designed for efficiency with a split-screen layout:

Tool Mode Bar

The top bar displays all 6 tools with color-coded icons. Click any tool to switch modes. The active tool is highlighted with its signature color.

Input Panel (Left)

Code editor with syntax highlighting, language detection, and tool-specific context fields (like error messages for Debug or target language for Convert).

Output Panel (Right)

Three tabs: Result (formatted explanation or generated code), Diff (visual before/after comparison), and Files (downloadable artifacts).

Supported Languages

Coding Studio supports 18+ programming languages with automatic detection based on syntax patterns:

Diff & Patch System

When tools like Refactor or Debug suggest code changes, Coding Studio provides a powerful diff and patch system:

Visual Diffs

See exactly what changed with syntax-highlighted, line-by-line comparisons. Additions are shown in green, deletions in red.

One-Click Apply

Click "Apply Changes" to instantly update your input code with the suggested improvements. No manual copy-pasting needed.

Undo / Revert

Made a mistake? Click "Revert" to undo applied changes and restore your previous code. History tracks the last 10 changes.

Conflict Detection

If you modify your code after running a tool but before applying changes, Coding Studio will warn you about potential conflicts to prevent overwriting your edits.

ARKAbrain Integration

Coding Studio uses ARKAbrain to intelligently route each task to the optimal AI model based on complexity and requirements:

ToolTask TypePreferred Model

The model badge in the output panel shows which model was used and token consumption for transparency.

Rate Limits

Pro users get generous rate limits for Coding Studio:

  • 30 requests per minute across all tools
  • 50KB maximum code input per request
  • Unlimited daily usage with your Pro subscription

Best Practices

For large codebases, focus on specific functions or modules rather than entire files. This produces better results and uses fewer tokens.
