What is Clarity AI?

Clarity AI is a VS Code extension that improves the quality of prompts you send to GitHub Copilot Chat. Instead of typing brief, informal instructions, the tool automatically refines your prompts into detailed, structured specifications that help Copilot generate better code suggestions. This is useful for developers who want more consistent and professional results from AI-assisted coding without spending time manually rewriting their requests. The extension integrates directly into your editor, so the enhancement process happens within your existing workflow.
