Coding assistant ecology

A model-breeding case study for local code completion, test generation, patch review, type prediction, and release evidence.

Direct answer

A coding assistant ecology should separate code generation from code evaluation. The generator proposes; tests, static analysis, type checks, benchmark suites, and human review dispose.

Workflow

pseudocode
PROCEDURE code_assistant_task(issue, repository_snapshot)
    intent <- ROUTE_CODE_INTENT(issue)
    candidate_patch <- GENERATE_PATCH(intent, repository_snapshot)
    proposed_tests <- GENERATE_TESTS(issue, candidate_patch)
    results <- RUN_STATIC_AND_UNIT_TESTS(candidate_patch, proposed_tests)
    review <- RUN_CODE_REVIEW_CRITIC(candidate_patch, results)

    IF results.fail OR review.critical_findings
        RETURN REPAIR_LOOP_PACKET(candidate_patch, results, review)
    END IF

    RETURN HUMAN_MERGE_REVIEW(candidate_patch, results, review)
END PROCEDURE

Breeding rule

Never let a patch generator rewrite its own test harness without separate code-breeding review. The strongest coding ecology breeds generators, test proposers, reviewers, and routers under different evidence surfaces.
