WhatA middleware layer for AI coding agents that automatically captures deferred issues, questionable workarounds, and TODO items into a structured side-list, preventing agents from either accumulating technical debt silently or going on tangential fix-it missions.
SignalDevelopers report that current AI agents have a binary failure mode — they either silently accumulate hacky workarounds without flagging them, or they derail into fixing tangential issues mid-task. Users want a structured way for agents to acknowledge issues without acting on them immediately.
Why NowAgentic coding tools have matured enough that developers use them for sustained multi-step tasks, making the lack of structured deferred-issue tracking a daily friction point rather than a theoretical concern.
MarketTeams using AI coding agents in production workflows (~2M+ developers today, growing rapidly); could be a plugin/extension sold at $10-20/seat/month or integrated into existing agent platforms. No one owns this layer yet.
MoatFirst-mover data on common agent failure patterns and workaround taxonomies across codebases would create a training advantage for better issue classification over time.
