Reviewer scorecard
“Fast, reliable, and the docs are actually good. Ship.”
“Issue-to-PR workflow is the right abstraction. The planning step prevents the 'just generate code' antipattern.”
“This is the kind of tool that makes you wonder how you worked without it.”
“Still limited in what it can handle. Works for straightforward issues but struggles with anything architecturally complex.”
“This is where all development is heading — describe what you want, AI plans and implements. GitHub has distribution advantage.”
