AI CODE DETECTOR GUIDE
How should you read flagged lines in an AI code detector report?
Read a flagged line as the location of a matched code-style rule, then inspect its surrounding context. A flagged line is not proof that AI wrote the code or proof of who authored it.
In Is My Code AI, analysis stays in your browser.
Start with the matched rule
In a transparent report, a highlighted line should be paired with the rule that matched it. Is My Code AI reports matched rules and the lines involved in each match. That gives you a starting point for review: identify the rule, read the specific line, and then read the nearby implementation.
The report is a description of configured heuristic signals. It does not establish intent, quality, originality, or authorship.
Read the line in context
A line can match a style signal for an ordinary engineering reason. A detailed identifier may follow a team naming convention. A long comment may document a non-obvious decision. A defensive error message may be required by the product or shared by a project template.
Before drawing any conclusion, look at the function, nearby comments, test coverage, project conventions, and the change that introduced the line. The line itself is evidence that a rule matched, not evidence that one particular explanation is true.
Use the score only as a summary
The score summarizes the configured rules that matched the code you supplied. The useful detail is underneath that summary: which rules matched and where. A higher score does not turn a style signal into a verdict, and a lower score does not clear a change of every possible concern.
If a flagged line does not make sense in context, treat that as a limitation of the heuristic and continue the review with other evidence.
Keep the review grounded in the codebase
For a meaningful review, compare the flagged pattern with the rest of the repository. Commit history, issue context, code review discussion, local style guides, and generated scaffolding can explain a pattern in ways that a browser-based heuristic cannot see.
Is My Code AI can help point to a line worth reviewing. A person still needs to decide whether that line matters in its technical context.
Review code without uploading it
Is My Code AI runs analysis in the current browser. You can paste code, select supported source files, or choose a local folder; submitted code is not uploaded by this static site. The language picker supports Python, JavaScript, Java, C++, PHP, and C#.
