For students, interns, and apprentices building real skills

Stop Vibe Coding.
Start Understanding.

AI assistants can write code for you, but they cannot build your engineering skills. Codswallop helps learners develop genuine comprehension through targeted quizzes.

The Hidden Cost of Vibe Coding

AI can accelerate development, but over-reliance stunts the engineering skills you need to succeed.

Surface-Level Knowledge

AI writes the code, you hit accept. The result works, but you cannot explain why, modify it confidently, or debug when it breaks.

Fragile Foundations

Without understanding fundamentals, learners struggle when AI suggestions are wrong. Debugging becomes guesswork instead of systematic problem-solving.

Interview Exposure

Technical interviews quickly reveal comprehension gaps. Explaining code you did not truly write becomes impossible under pressure.

Workplace Struggles

Junior developers who cannot reason about code become bottlenecks. Code reviews, pair programming, and on-call rotations expose the skills gap.

How Codswallop Works

Build genuine engineering skills through active comprehension checks.

1

Detect

Codswallop monitors your coding patterns: rapid code additions, sudden complexity spikes, and large paste operations that suggest AI-generated content.

2

Quiz

When patterns are detected, Claude AI generates targeted questions about the specific code. Questions focus on logic, edge cases, and behaviour you must understand.

3

Learn

Answering quizzes reinforces comprehension. Track your progress over time and identify areas where you need deeper understanding.

Features

Tools designed to build comprehension, not just detect gaps.

Line Spike Detection

Identifies rapid code additions that suggest copy-paste from AI or external sources, prompting you to verify understanding.

Complexity Analysis

Monitors cyclomatic complexity to catch when complex logic appears suddenly. Understanding branching and loops is essential.

Paste Monitoring

Large paste operations trigger comprehension checks. Typing code helps retention; pasting requires verification.

Animated Companion

A friendly detective character provides visual feedback on your coding, celebrating when you pass quizzes and encouraging practice when needed.

Educator Dashboard

Educators can monitor progress across classrooms, identify common struggle areas, and provide targeted support to learners.

Progress Tracking

Quiz results sync in real-time. Track your improvement over time and see which concepts need more attention.
