LineMapper: LLM Code Intent Tracker

Developers find spec‑driven development bloated and out of sync, while LLM‑generated specs lose fidelity. LineMapper provides a real‑time, line‑by‑line mapping between concise intent annotations and the generated code, ensuring that every code change is immediately reflected in the intent and making code reviews fast and reliable.

Comment on: Show HN: Huzzah – a novel approach to coding with AI

I also tried spec-driven development, and also found that it did not work. I don't want to read a wall of text, and they also fell out of parity with the code, so engineers ended up just having the LLM update the specs. But now the specs are not only a wall of text, they're LLM-generated and we have no idea whether they reflect the real intent.This project maintains a mapping of each line of pseudocode to every line of real code it generates. It's also terse, because it's code, and in my initial tests I've found it dramatically easier to read than a big list of longform specs.
