I tried it but all I hear is a choir of angels, is it broken?

medwezys•1h ago

I guess you’re working on a greenfield project?

AndrewVos•1h ago

Actually, that's not a bad idea!

greg_dc•1h ago

Honestly, I don't care about Opus 4.7. This is the true evolution of agentic coding.

8-prime•1h ago

Does this actually relate to the code quality being observed by the agent? The readme isn't very clear on that IMO. I have some projects I'd love to try this out on, but only if I am to get an accurate representation of the LLMs suffering.

So it is left up to agent to decide.

Ghoelian•56m ago

The agent is instructed to execute this Python script: https://github.com/AndrewVos/endless-toil/blob/main/plugins/...

So looks like it's mainly looking for FIXME/TODO etc comments, deep nesting, large files, broad catches, stuff like that.

AndrewVos•58m ago

I'm very open to suggestions, but currently it's a very simple scan of the code. Check the python scripts.

I really want this! Any chance of a Cursor version?

AndrewVos•50m ago

I just added a cursor plugin to the repo, let me know how it goes!

I need a version of this which swears loudly when an assumption it made turns out to be wrong, with the volume/passion/verbosity correlated with how many tokens it's burned on the incorrect approach.

shivaniShimpi_•47m ago

i didnt realize i needed the volume scaling with tokens burned as much as i do now xD imagine the screaming when it confidently refactors something for 40k tokens and then finds out the thing it deleted was load bearing

AndreVitorio•1h ago

This desperately needs a demo video in the repo.
