Reviewer scorecard
“Issue-to-PR workflow is the right abstraction. The planning step prevents the 'just generate code' antipattern.”
“Autocomplete for CLI commands is surprisingly useful. Reduces trips to man pages and --help flags.”
“Still limited in what it can handle. Works for straightforward issues but struggles with anything architecturally complex.”
“Simple tool that genuinely improves terminal productivity. The acquisition by Amazon expanded support.”
“This is where all development is heading — describe what you want, AI plans and implements. GitHub has distribution advantage.”
“Will likely be absorbed into broader Amazon Q developer tools. Standalone terminal autocomplete may not survive.”
