If this ain’t bad enough, their philosophy is cherry on the cake
I have a hard time believing this isn’t a shitpost project.
That’s the twist: this repo was shared on a teams channel
Man AI explanations are so… soulless and dull. And useless, even though I read this huge wall of text, I’m not closer to understanding what this plugin actually does.
It’s like it tries to rephrase a 5-sentence explanation as another 5-sentence explanation without grasping that it could be explained in 5 words concisely…

Sounds like they tested their plugin on the readme generation
So you know how when you’re interacting with an AI bot (chatgpt/copilot or Gemini or Claude etc) you have a chat history with it and it “remembers” its previous output and can reference it if you ask follow up stuff.
You can use that behavior to try to get the model to give you a better answer by having it “think” about the prompt you fed it either by asking further probing questions or honing your initial prompt in or staying “hey this thing you wrote doesn’t make sense” and it’ll try to fix it.
Well what this does is just takes the initial prompt and keeps feeding it to the bot after it spits out the response. Then it keeps doing that again and again with the same prompt. The idea is that it makes the AI look at it more and more and that the AI can “learn” from itself and make the output better.
In other words, it’s like if you just copied your prompt and after every response to it just pasted it back in and sent it on through again.
I’m very skeptical this works well but I’m not an expert in LLM or how they work, I just know enough about how they work to know this AI craze is most assuredly a market bubble.
I think the main idea is that it’s an “agent” that runs command line commands and then considers the output. It definitely helps sometimes to show a LLM the errors its code generated.
. And useless, even though I read this huge wall of text, I’m not closer to understanding what this plugin actually does.
That’s how I feel coming across half of github projects or frameworks.
Amen brother - so much assumed context (that I’m invariably lacking)
5 Repeat until completion
What the fuck IS completion here? Just running indefinitely until the user manually kills the loop?
Completion here is when shareholders orgasm simultaneously.
the philosophy reads like coping mechanisms of an abused spouse
Not good for: Tasks requiring human judgement or design decisions
So, like 99% of programming after you have been a professional programmer for longer than a year…
And this somehow arrives at a highly refined piece of code rather than the software equivalent of Habsburg Jaw?
AI bros and the cognitive dissonance between “productivity” plugins/projects that make llms repeat their inputs and confidentially asserting that llms are actually good for code
!programming_horror@programming.dev and !software_gore@programming.dev if you were not being facetious
