Milestone 7: Interactive Code Assistance

New Issue

Milestone 7: Interactive Code Assistance

Status: 📅 PLANNED
Target: Q4 2025
Duration: 3 weeks
Total Effort: 38-47 hours


Overview

Transform bot from passive reviewer to active collaborator with code repair and refactoring capabilities.

Goals

  • 50% of suggested fixes applied automatically
  • Refactoring time reduced by 60%
  • Zero unauthorized commits
  • Safe, human-approved code changes

Features

1. Interactive Code Repair

Priority: HIGH
Effort: 10-12 hours
Value: HIGH

Description:
@codebot apply <suggestion_id> commits suggested fixes directly to PR branch.

Features:

  • Generate secure git patches
  • Commit to PR branch
  • Require human approval
  • Run tests automatically after commit
  • Rollback on test failure

Workflow:

1. AI finds issue: "SQL injection at line 45"
2. AI suggests: "Use parameterized query"
3. Developer: @codebot apply SEC005
4. Bot: "Applying fix... Done! ✅"
5. CI runs tests automatically
6. If tests pass → commit stays
7. If tests fail → automatic rollback

Safety Measures:

  • Require approval via comment
  • Run tests before finalizing
  • Clear attribution (bot commits)
  • Audit logging

Files to Add:

  • tools/patch_generator.py

2. Refactoring Assistant

Priority: MEDIUM-HIGH
Effort: 12-15 hours
Value: MEDIUM-HIGH

Description:
@codebot refactor <description> generates code improvements.

Features:

  • Extract function/method
  • Introduce design pattern
  • Simplify complex logic
  • Improve naming
  • Generate refactored code

Examples:

@codebot refactor this function to use dependency injection
@codebot refactor extract validation logic into separate function
@codebot refactor simplify this nested if-else

Files to Modify:

  • agents/chat_agent.py
  • New: prompts/refactor.md

3. Human Approval Workflow

Priority: HIGH
Effort: 6-8 hours
Value: HIGH

Description:
Require explicit human approval before bot commits any changes.

Features:

  • Approval via comment reply
  • Time-limited approval (expires after 1 hour)
  • Revoke approval anytime
  • Approval history in audit log

Workflow:

Bot: "I can fix this SQL injection. Approve with: @codebot approve fix-123"
Developer: "@codebot approve fix-123"
Bot: "✅ Approved. Applying fix..."

Files to Add:

  • enterprise/approval.py

4. Auto-Test Generation

Priority: HIGH
Effort: 10-12 hours
Value: HIGH

Description:
Generate test code from function signatures and docstrings.

Features:

  • Parse function signature
  • Generate test cases
  • Include edge cases
  • Follow project test style
  • Pytest/unittest support

Example:

# Function
def calculate_discount(price: float, discount_percent: int) -> float:
    """Calculate discounted price."""
    return price * (1 - discount_percent / 100)

# Generated test
def test_calculate_discount():
    assert calculate_discount(100, 10) == 90.0
    assert calculate_discount(100, 0) == 100.0
    assert calculate_discount(100, 100) == 0.0
    # Edge case: negative discount
    with pytest.raises(ValueError):
        calculate_discount(100, -10)

Files to Add:

  • tools/test_generator.py

Success Metrics

  • 50% of suggested fixes applied automatically
  • Refactoring time reduced by 60%
  • Zero unauthorized code commits
  • 95%+ approval rate for bot commits
  • Auto-generated tests pass 90% of the time

Implementation Plan

Week 1: Code Repair

  • Implement patch generation
  • Git integration
  • Approval workflow

Week 2: Refactoring & Testing

  • Refactoring assistant
  • Test generation
  • Safety checks

Week 3: Human Approval & Polish

  • Approval workflow
  • Audit logging
  • Testing and deployment

Risk Mitigation

High-Risk Feature: Automated code changes

Mitigation Strategies:

  1. Always require approval - No automatic commits
  2. Run tests - Rollback on failure
  3. Clear attribution - Bot commits clearly marked
  4. Audit trail - Log all changes
  5. Time limits - Approvals expire
  6. Revoke option - Can cancel anytime

Dependencies

Required:

  • Milestones 1-6 complete
  • Git integration
  • Test runner (pytest, unittest)

Permissions:

  • Bot needs push access to PR branches
  • CI must run tests on bot commits
