AI CODE DETECTOR GUIDE
Does a file name change an AI code detector score?
No. In the current browser tool, the score is computed from source text; a file name or folder path is kept as a result label and is not passed into the scoring function. With the same source text and rules, changing only an accepted file's name does not change its score.
Selected files are read and analyzed in your browser; submitted code is not uploaded.
What the file name is used for
When you choose a folder, the tool keeps each accepted file's relative path when the browser provides one, or its base name otherwise. The batch report uses that value to identify each file beside its score. The name helps you tell results apart; it is not one of the code-pattern signals.
There is one separate filename-related step: the extension is used to filter for supported source files. Renaming a file to an unsupported extension can keep it out of the scan. For a file that is accepted, the extension or path is not an input to the score calculation.
What the score describes
The current score adds weights for configured text patterns and is capped at the tool's maximum. The report can show matched rules and the lines where they appeared. A file name does not add a match, and a matched pattern is not proof of who wrote the code or which tool produced it.
For a fair comparison, keep the source text the same and compare the displayed score and matched signals. Treat the result as a heuristic review aid, not an authorship verdict.
