A ruleset that makes AI coding agents write the least code that works
The agent is instructed to stop at the first rung that holds: skip, reuse, standard library, platform, existing dependency, one line — and only then write the minimum that works.
Ships as an installable plugin for Claude Code, Codex, Copilot CLI, Gemini CLI and pi, with setup guidance for Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Kiro, OpenCode and Zed.
Review commands inspect the code your change actually touches, and an audit command applies the same analysis across the whole repository, reporting bugs, security risks and missing tests.
Logic that touches branches, loops, parsers, money or security is expected to ship with a small focused test, while trivial changes stay trivial.
An agentic coding platform that ships real software
An AI-native desktop IDE where agents read the codebase, plan multi-step work and complete tasks across many files.
Switch between autocomplete for quick edits, chat for collaborative coding, and an autonomous agent for delegated tasks with approval controls.
Repository-wide indexing and context engineering keep changes aligned with your architecture, style and dependencies.
Plugins for VS Code and JetBrains, a terminal CLI, and a mobile app for monitoring and approving agents remotely.
Provides a deeply integrated AI-native IDE experience for multi-file code editing, but lacks Qoder's standalone agentic orchestration.
