Quick Start Guide

Get up and running with ReformCode in under 5 minutes. This guide covers account setup, your first CODE workspace, and your first REFORM analysis.

Step 1: Create Your Account

1. Go to reformcode.com
2. Click Get Started or Sign Up
3. Sign up with:
   • Email and password
   • Google account
   • GitHub account (recommended for repo features)
4. Verify your email if prompted
5. You receive 20 free credits to start

Step 2: Explore the Dashboard

After signing in, you land on the Dashboard:

• Credits: Your current balance (top right)
• Quick Actions: Links to main features
• Recent Activity: Your latest analyses
• Trending: Popular repositories to explore

Step 3: Your First Search

Try Universal Search:

1. Click Search in the sidebar (or press Cmd/Ctrl + K)
2. Enter a search term: react form validation
3. Press Enter
4. Browse results from GitHub, NPM, and Docker
5. Note the ReformCode Score for each result

Understanding Scores

• 80-100: Excellent quality
• 60-79: Good choice
• 40-59: Use with caution
• Below 40: Investigate thoroughly

Step 4: Open CODE

Use CODE when you want a VS Code-like workspace for generation, editing, preview, Git workflows, validation, and proof:

1. Click Workspace under Code in the sidebar.
2. Review the file tree, editor, agent chat, preview, and diagnostics panels.
3. Ask the agent for a small change, or open an existing file and edit directly.
4. Use the preview and validation panels to check the result before shipping.

Step 5: Analyze Or Remix With REFORM

Use REFORM when you want to understand, adapt, transform, or white-label existing code:

1. Click Analyze under Reform in the sidebar.
2. Paste code or bring in a repository context.
3. Choose an AI model for quick or deeper analysis.
4. Review the ReformCode Score, risks, and improvement recommendations.
5. Move validated work into CODE when you are ready to build forward.

Sample Code to Try

function calculateTotal(items) {
  var total = 0;
  for (var i = 0; i < items.length; i++) {
    total = total + items[i].price * items[i].qty;
  }
  return total;
}

The AI will suggest improvements like:

• Using const/let instead of var
• Using reduce() for cleaner code
• Adding type checking

Sample Prompt To Try In CODE

Create a simple counter app with increment,
decrement, and reset buttons. Use a modern
dark theme.

Step 6: Transform Code

Convert code between languages:

1. Click Transform under Reform
2. Paste JavaScript code
3. Set source: JavaScript
4. Set target: TypeScript
5. Click Transform
6. Get TypeScript with proper types added

Step 7: Save Your Work

ReformCode auto-saves, but you can also:

• Save to Snippets: Store useful code for reuse
• Bookmark: Save search results and analyses
• Export: Download workspace artifacts or ZIP files
