This sounds interesting but (from the homepage too) I don't understand how it's different than having it run any other linter?

The difference is that the error messages contain instructions on how to resolve the issue.

Just flagging big functions will make the agent write small functions ~ but not necessarliy in a good way

(for example the agent might just cut `doOneThingAndTheOther` in half and call the second half `doOneThingAndTheOther2`)
