ai can do some of the reviewing, checking calling and called arguments, even things like crufty shell scripts.

but the higher-level "should you do this?" or "check your design" - could AI do that stuff?

It's difficult to spot issues from a huge diff. But when a agent finish a task, it remembers what it just went through, where it got stuck, when it got corrected by human, what code make it want to say the F word to the author, that would be a good chance to make the codebase cleaner.

No way this can backfire.

> checking calling and called arguments

Like a static language compiler already does?
