Could you build this?

Yes The tool is an open-source CLI (distributed via npm) that parses codebases using AST analysis or LLM embeddings to detect structural pattern drift. This can easily be vibe-coded using standard AST parsers (like Babel or tree-sitter) and basic statistical clustering or LLM evaluations.

Discussion

16 comments analyzed.

Competitors mentioned: CodeRabbit, Qodo, Allium, Claude Code memory

Concerns raised: Scanning entire codebase may flag old code snippets that don't match current preferences, May be overkill for small/weekend projects

Feature requests: Track prompt-to-output consistency in addition to codebase analysis, Scan last X merged PRs and discussions instead of entire codebase
