Local coding assistant ecology

A model ecology for private code review, patch explanation, test generation, and migration planning on organization-controlled hardware.

Research statusApplied blueprint from source-alignment pass Publication statePublished Reviewed byMichael Kappel Source reports4

Objective

A local coding assistant ecology keeps private source code on controlled hardware while using specialists for review, test generation, migration planning, and documentation.

Specialists

SpecialistJob
diff explainerSummarizes patch intent and risk.
test generatorProposes unit and integration tests.
migration plannerFinds old APIs and suggests phased changes.
style checkerApplies project conventions.
security reviewerFlags risky dependencies, secrets, and trust boundary changes.

Request flow

pseudocode
PROCEDURE review_patch_locally(diff, repo_context)
    contracts <- LOAD_PROJECT_CONTRACTS(repo_context)
    explanation <- RUN_SPECIALIST("diff-explainer", diff, contracts)
    tests <- RUN_SPECIALIST("test-generator", diff, contracts)
    risks <- RUN_SPECIALIST("security-reviewer", diff, contracts)
    style <- RUN_SPECIALIST("style-checker", diff, contracts)

    RETURN REVIEW_BUNDLE(explanation, tests, risks, style)
END PROCEDURE

Breeding loop

Use repository-local eval cases: accepted historical patches, rejected historical patches, known style examples, migration samples, and security fixtures. The best descendant is the one that improves developer speed without increasing review misses.
