Aura is not another chat box for coding. It is a Git-native IDE for working with AI coding agents. You can run agents, track their changes at the function and class level, compare the code against the original intent, and prove whether a task was actually completed before you commit. Git shows you lines changed. Aura shows you what changed in the logic.

Could you build this?
Partial The UI and basic agent LLM calling are simple, but building a custom AST/Git-native IDE engine that maps granular function/class diffs against task completion proofs is non-trivial.
What it would actually take: Requires an Electron or Tauri desktop wrapper or a VS Code fork, integrated with tree-sitter for multi-language AST parsing and precise code-block level diffing. Developers need expertise in compiler front-ends, programmatic Git plumbing APIs (libgit2), and formal or agentic unit test verification loops to prove task completeness.
