IDE plugin for AI coding agents

Develop IDE extensions that expose compiler-accurate code graph data to AI coding assistants. Help AI tools understand code context better.

Why now

AI coding tools are proliferating but struggle with deep code context beyond syntax.

Who for
AI coding tool developers
Business model
Enterprise licensing
Effort
A few months

AI coding assistants often make incorrect refactors because they lack compiler-level understanding of code relationships.

Build plugins for VS Code/IntelliJ that expose precise 'find usages' and inheritance data to AI tools via a standard API. Could work with existing tools like GitHub Copilot.

Monetize through partnerships with AI coding tool vendors who need better integration.

Start with C# support (as shown), then expand to other languages.

Risk: Major IDEs might build this natively, or AI models improve enough to infer relationships without help.
