Inspiration

I use Codex on all my projects. I'm not great at writing code, so I rely heavily on AI to help bring my ideas into reality. One thing I never trusted was when GPT would give a confident answer about a change in code/etc, and whether it was better, or more accurate than the previous version.

I wanted something that I would ACTUALLY use. It's a case file that is made to ensure the agent states what it believes, what could disprove it and what was/how it was checked.

What it does

It's a plugin and local Python program where I ask Codex to challenge the current change made and generate a report. It reads the report and scrutinizes it heavily. It argues against itself (with help from Python, so it's not "biased") and determines truth/validity of what it initially claimed. In other words, Python calculates final verdicts deterministically - and this happens outside the model.

How I built it

Entirely with Codex. It did all the research and coding logic for me.

Challenges I ran into

Finding a suitable name for this project - to begin with. Making it useful for others beyond my personal use of it.

What I'm proud of

The fact that it found a packaging defect in itself in its release. And it helped me with my own game I am developing. It's a Codex skill that anyone can use. I made it accessible to the public on GitHub. It has real project evidence from what I've tested it on, and is self-testing. It runs on every project wothout me primpting Codex to do so, whixh makes my life easier.

What I learned

In short, the evidence has to be allowed to disagree with the agent and/or developer. AI can't assume the developer is right, let alone "think" it is right either.

What's next for PatchCase

That remains to be seen. But, getting a team onboard to make this an even more useful tool would be the next logical step.
