Boffin - Staff-engineer control layer for AI coding agents
Show HN: Boffin – Staff-engineer layer for AI coding agents
Boffin acts as a staff-engineer control layer for AI coding agents like Cursor, Claude Code, and Codex, preventing agents from turning small fixes into massive, unnecessary rewrites. Unlike static AGENTS.md files, Boffin dynamically routes only the architectural constraints relevant to the specific file being edited and enforces verification proportional to the change. Powered by ParselFire Core, it ensures code integrity by injecting load-bearing constraints before edits and requiring proof of correctness afterward, making it an essential tool for maintaining code quality in AI-assisted development workflows.
You ask for a 15-line fix; the agent comes back with a 500-line renovation. Boffin gives the agent the architectural constraints that apply to the file it is about to touch, then makes it verify the result.
