Partial A wrapper or plugin for coding agents is buildable quickly. Proving that the reduced code 'still works' requires a credible evaluation harness, test generation, and research-grade measurement of code quality.
What it would actually take: Start with a CLI or MCP-style plugin that intercepts agent edits, diffs them, and runs a rule- or LLM-based reviewer to flag unnecessary code. The hard part is a reliable correctness check, which means automatically running the project's test suite and ideally generating characterization tests for the changed behavior. That needs developers who understand static analysis, test generation, and how different agents structure their edits.
