tig

Overview

tig is like git in reverse! It is a software development tool that allows users to commit code changes using natural language. The key innovation is tig's ability to interpret these descriptive commits, plan the required code modifications, and automatically implement the changes in the codebase.

tig aims to significantly reduce the burden of manual coding by translating a user's high-level feature requests and bug fixes into working software implementations.

How it Works

1. The user initiates the process by providing a natural language commit message describing the desired change, similar to how one would write a git commit.
2. tig parses this message to identify the required changes
3. Leveraging its repository of code snippets and its understanding of the app architecture, Tig formulates a plan to implement the change.
4. tig then executes the plan, automatically modifying files across the codebase - adding new files, editing existing ones, importing dependencies etc.
5. Once complete, tig displays a diff of all changes for the user to review. After approving, tig commits the changes to the repository.

Capabilities

• Natural language parsing: Understand descriptive commit messages
• Change planning: Formulate a plan to implement the desired modification
• Automated coding: Programmatically modify codebase to execute the plan
• Project management: Maintain backlog of commits, prioritize based on effort/impact

Benefits

• 10X faster development: Eliminates time-consuming manual coding
• Focus on design: Users spend time on high-level design rather than implementation
• Accelerated learning: System continuously expands its repertoire of code snippets and planning abilities
• Better documentation: Descriptive commit messages serve as documentation
• Consistent style: Changes adhere to preset project conventions and patterns
